Introduction

Over the past four decades, IIM Calcutta has blossomed into one of Asia's finest Business Schools.

IIM Calcutta attracts the best talent in India - a melting pot of academia, industry and research. The best and brightest young men and women pursue its academic programmes.

IIM Calcutta has embodied the spirit of questioning concepts, of exploring true depths and of analysing the basic fundamentals. This is reflected in the methodology adopted to teach students the art of management. The faculty here has made excellent use of their understanding, to take the students to a new dimension of learning.

Every student requires some platform to be able to launch himself into the real world. Though some platforms may be self-built, placements at the end of the day do add to one's confidence. This is an area where IIM Calcutta is envied the most. Having maintained an excellent relationship with the Corporate World, the respect of the industry is evident during both summer & final placements.

Courses Offered

1. Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGDM)

The widely acclaimed PGDM programme is designed to educate innovative managers for the new millennium. In the First Year all students pursue the same course of study and together build a strong foundation of general management concepts and skills. The students undergo Summer Internship, 8-10 weeks spent with a professional organization, on completion of the first year's course work. This exposure equips students to relate management theory to practice, handle assignments independently and deliver results in a corporate environment. During the Second Year students can choose from an unparalleled range of seventy-one elective courses enabling them to synthesize the functional skills developed through the curriculum into a more complete understanding of the firm as a total enterprise.

2. Post Graduate Programme in Computer Aided Management (PGDCM)

This programme, the first of its kind in the country, integrates Information Technology with management theory and practice. Now into its seventh year, it focuses on training a new class of managers who can leverage IT to realize the objectives of an organization.

The PGDCM programme is conducted in tandem with the PGDM course. In the First Year, PGDCM students take up common courses in Marketing, Finance, Operations, Behavioral Sciences, etc along with PGDM students, in addition to basic courses in Management Information Systems. The format of the Summer Internship for PGDCM students is exactly the same as that for PGDM students. In the Second Year, they can specialize in Marketing, Finance, Operations, Strategy, HR, etc., apart from the compulsory specialization in Systems.
