| The ITM Experiecnce |
|
|
Every year, 300 students successfully enroll in
the ITM PGDBM program, to embark on a two year
experience of learning and development, called
the ITM Experience. The ITM Experience is composed
of: |
| |
Core
: Academics
The first year of the program is dedicated to
developing a core of knowledge in the student,
preparing him/her for more advanced study. Starting
with Foundation Modules, the first three trimesters
progressively build up a strong academic base
and conceptually sound fundamentals in the student,
preparing him for advanced study.
In our business programs, the second year teaching
methodology combines the best of practical and
theoretical methods. The Harvard Case Methodology
is most prevalent. Students are exposed to a variety
of cases, from the Harvard, INSEAD and Ivey school
case archives, as well as many Indian cases studies.
In virtually every course, students are expected
to prepare projects or perform real-world analytics.
A strong group of quantitative subjects rounds
out the overall program. |

Learning
: Research and Analysis
In business schools around
the world, there is a strong emphasis on research.
Students have access to unlimited resources and
reference material to conduct research into their
fields of specialty. At ITM, while students have
access to large libraries on campus, they can
access a whole universe of information through
our two most prized research resources- EBSCO,
the world's largest online archive of over 2000
business and management journals, news and research;
and the Harvard Business Review Online, a comprehensive
archive of full-text articles/research papers
from the Harvard School of Business.
At ITM, we believe in the practice of balancing
our full-time faculty and visiting faculty ratios.
The basis of this is in the fact that visiting
faculty from Industry bring real-time business
know-how and current practices into the classroom.
Full-time faculties, on the other hand, are ideally
suited to teach high-intensity, information rich
courses. |
| |
Transformation
: Professional & Personal Development
During their formative
years, students are exposed primarily to highly
theoretical and book-based curricula, which often
leave them with a developmental gap. ITM students
are given courses in Self-Discovery, Personality
Development, Yoga, Communication and Presentation
skills, stress management, as well as spiritual
and physical development (program dependent).
These courses, combined with the regular course
curriculum improve the overall learning and living
experience at ITM. |

Environment
: Campuses, Culture and Lifestyle
Each
ITM campus has been designed from the ground up
to provide a comfortable, convenient and nurturing
ambience. With spacious classrooms, seminar halls,
extensive libraries and reference/study areas,
cafeterias, gardens and quiet zones- our campuses
are more than well equipped to handle the needs
of the students of our various programs.
The
PGDBM program is a fully residential program at
all ITM campuses, with separate hostels for men
and women (ITM Chennai offers limited hostels
for women only). Hostels are usually on twin-sharing
basis per room, in apartment layouts. Students
of other ITM programs may opt to stay at our hostels.
ITM campuses are generally located slightly away
from major metropolitan areas, allowing for a
quieter, distraction-free environment. On-campus
cafeterias serve full meals and snacks.
In addition to academic activities,
students may choose to participate in the annual
ITM management festival, competitive events, social
events and various student clubs. Special recognition
is given to students who help organize and manage
non-academic activities including an improvement
in their CGPA. |

Technology
: Computing, network and Internet capabilities
In the
new century, no management program can be considered
complete without a focus on technology.
All ITM campuses are technology-rich,
with a computer-to-student ratio of 1:1 or greater.
A notebook computer is a requirement in the PGDBM
program. The Institute has an arrangement for
the purchase of top-brand notebook computers at
very low prices.
All campuses are outfitted with
in-class LANs, high-speed internet connections,
email, file and print services. ITM has undertaken
a project of wireless networking in all campuses
to be completed by Dec' 04.
ITM Navi Mumbai is proud to have
India's first ever Institutional Live Securities
Dealing Room, which provides hands-on training
in securities, derivatives, commodities and foreign
exchange trading. The lab features National Stock
Exchange software from NSE.IT, data-feeds from
Moneyline Telerate with industry renowned charting
and analysis tools from Spider Software. This
Financial Markets Lab adds a dimension of real-life
experience and exposure to the PGDBM Finance specialization |

Real
World : Interfacing with Industry
At ITM,
education rarely stays within the confines of
the classroom. Dozens of seminars, panel discussions,
corporate workshops and live-projects are conducted,
in partnership with India 's best companies and
managers. In 2003, students conducted and participated
in events covering the fields of HRM, Finance,
Marketing, Rural Marketing, Case Competitions
etc. ITM is also a premier sponsor of some of
the region's most vaunted business and technology
conventions, seminars and events- which gives
our students the kind of exposure that was once
the exclusive domain of corporate executives.
Many faculty members and students attend industry
events such as the Leadership Convention, CII-NASSCOM
conventions, BMA and AIMA annual management conventions
etc., |

Launch
platform : Placements, Careers and Professional
Enhancement
While
many schools claim to have 100% placement, few
talk about the quality and variety of companies
that take their students. From ABB to Zydus Industries,
over 300 of India 's name-brand companies recruit
from ITM every year. These companies represent
the leaders in every industry including FMCG,
Infotech, Corporate Finance, Banking, Securities,
Advertising and Marketing, NGOs, R&D etc.
With top offers reaching Rs. 14 lacs/pa and median
offers at Rs. 3.5 lacs/pa, it is no wonder that
ITM has been ranked # 12 for placements on an
all India basis.
The
Placements teams at ITM campuses provide an efficient,
professional and productive environment for both
visiting companies and ITM students in their efforts
to find the perfect Person-Position fit. |

ITM
Trust : Scholarships and Financial Aid
Every year, ITM offers a
limited number of scholarship and assistantship
opportunities for exceptional students who are
financially challenged. These range from a tuition
fee waiver of 25% to 100% in exchange for on-campus
employment as research assistants, administrative
assistants, event managers etc. Other stipendiary
positions are available from time to time.
If you are looking to finance
your education through a bank, you will be pleased
to know that ITM is listed as an approved Institution
at all nationalized banks, and has an excellent
reputation amongst private banks and financial
institutions too. Most education loan schemes
offer delayed repayment, which allows students
to complete their programs and settle into their
careers, without the immediate load of monthly
installments. PG students can also finance their
laptop computers through an education loan. |

World
Connect : Global Academic Collaborations

education, ITM has sought partnerships with premier
Universities and schools from around the world.
These partnerships allow us to keep our curricula
updated, to exchange students, and to offer new
programs. ITM has academic partnerships with:
• Southern New Hampshire University
, USA
