Employers Want More Than Someone with a Degree

They want an employee that can provide them a return on their investment.  Every academic program we develop is shaped by industry feedback from our recruiters, who give us feedback from the frontlines about what they need.  With a carefully crafted curriculum, the ITM PGDM iConnect ensures that every student develops a holistic view of business with courses covering the fundamentals of business including Accounting & Finance, Business Math & Statistics, Economics, Marketing, HR & Organizational Behavior. What’s more, access to premium learning resources like the Harvard Business Review Archives and CMIE Prowess ensure that students are always at the cutting edge of business management knowledge.

Our PGDM iConnect IB program is built to sensitize new entrants to the rigors and expectations of life as global business leaders of tomorrow. A 10 week study term abroad (students from the Navi Mumbai campus spend this study term at leading institutions (ESSCA and Ecole Management de Normandie) in France and Hungary understanding how business is conducted in Western and Eastern Europe while students from the Chennai campus spend the study term at EASB in Singapore) ensures that students are trained to understand markets and international operations of companies, and also equipped with the practical skills needed to operate effectively in global contexts.

This means we combine challenging academics with practical education that delivers a graduate who is ready to make an impact in their career from day one.
