Participants will typically be on campus for a 7 day schedule of classroom learning once every 6th week. PGPMAX is a rigorous and challenging programme. The schedule will include full days of teaching and evenings will be used for guest lectures, projects, and group work. Participants will be required to stay on campus during those 7 days.

The PGPMAX programme includes an international immersion component, involving one or more of various interventions like cultural visits, country experience, classroom teaching, industry visits and top management interaction. In the past, these international immersions have taken place in Brazil and the USA with teaching happening at FDC (Brazil), Kellogg School of Management and the Wharton School. Locations for international immersion may change and will be informed to the participant at the start of the programme.

During the international immersion component of the programme, participants may have extended terms of 2 weeks. This is to derive full benefit of the visits abroad and to reduce travel expenses.

This programme format allows them to continue working and attend a programme that is equal in rigour and content to an Executive MBA programme.

Eligibility : Bachelor's degree and minimum experience of 10 years
