SICOMS offers a two-year PG Diploma in Management (PGDM) programme approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). The programme is organised into six terms, including a Summer Internship Programme and a Capstone Project.

We offer a dual specialisation for PGDM out of three functional specialisations: Finance, Marketing and Human Resources, and super competency in Logistics & Supply Chain Management.

The PGDM programme follows an outcome-based pedagogy aligned with our core mission and values. The following Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs) have been developed for the PGDM programme:

1. To transform the students into competent leaders and managers for Indian as well as global businesses and industries
2. To develop a spirit of innovation and problem-solving by stimulating the intellect and aptitude of the students, and encouraging life-long learning
3. To impart ethical and value-based learning that will create socially-conscious managers and productive citizens

Regular Curriculum Revision

The PGDM course curriculum is revised regularly to match the demands of the industry. It is designed to accommodate students from all graduate streams and guide them into functional management sectors.

The total credit requirement for the programme is 130 with a Core-Elective split of roughly 2:1. The core courses cover the fundamentals of management over the first two terms with particular emphasis on hands-on learning, including one field project across the first two terms.

The syllabi and pattern of instruction are also revised periodically to reflect the feedback of employers and new developments in the subjects as well as in the industrial scenario.

Dual Specialisation

SICOMS offers students the opportunity to do dual specialization. Three elective clusters are offered from the third term – Finance Management, Marketing Management, and Human Resource Management – the student is expected to choose two among them. In addition, the curriculum provides super competency in Logistics and Supply Chain Management through specialised courses.

Industry Exposure

The SICOMS PGDM is designed to give the students as much industry and real-life exposure as possible. The students are required to do two large-scale projects over the course of the programme. A two-month Summer Internship Programme (SIP) follows the second term. In their final two terms the students do a Capstone Project with industry mentors.

Career Guidance and Placement Support

SICOMS has a proven track record of achieving 100% placement since its inception. This has only been possible because of the strong industry network managed by the institute and its placement cell. The curriculum has a strong emphasis on development of soft skills and leadership skills. In addition, the institute also provides coaching to its students for competitive exams conducted by various industries. We identify critical competences expected of employees in the industrial sector and the deficiencies in each student are assessed and bridged through personalised interventions.
