INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT, BANGALORE   

Post Graduate Programme in Public Policy & Management (PGPPM)
June 2008 - March 2010

The Programme

The two-year Post Graduate Programme in Public Policy and Management (PGPPM) of Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) has entered its sixth year. Catalyzed by the Government of India and UNDP in the year 2002, the PGPPM is a pioneering programme in public policy designed by India’s leading business school.
Eminent academicians and practitioners from IIMB and the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs Syracuse University, USA, share inputs on how to mobilize your intangible assets - talent, knowledge, relationship and reputation - to draw up a coherent strategy to meet the needs of the emerging global and national arenas. PGPPM also allows you the opportunity to specialize in a policy area of your choice. In the preceding five years, 119 participants belonging to the All India Services and Central Services Group "A" successfully underwent the programme. Some of our alumni are on assignments in frontier areas such as Infrastructure Financing, Regulations, Public-Private Partnerships and in management of key Social Sector Projects. For government officials participation is sponsored by Department of Personnel and Training, Government of India, New Delhi.

With effect from 2008-2009 academic year, the programme is opened to all eligible non-government participants as well.

The programme is currently structured on the following lines: -

The first year of the PGPPM is residential with participants spending 9 months at IIMB and 7 weeks at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University, USA. The programme leads to the award of the Post Graduate Diploma in Public Policy and Management by IIMB.
