Executive MBA + PGPM

Teaching Methodology

In the online modules, participants interact with their instructors and classmates via a highly sophisticated e-learning platform and engage in both synchronous and asynchronous learning activities. Participants are expected to make a significant learning effort during the online period and should plan to spend approximately 7-8 hours per week outside of class for study, class projects, reading and preparation.

Academic Delivery

There are total of 10 University courses in the EMBA program and 3 other value added courses offered.

Each course has 50 learning sessions which cover the entire subject, the practical assignment, presentations and discussions

500 hours of learning over 250 days means 2 hours of learning per day

Online class rooms

The methodology of instruction is learner-oriented, and the student has to be an active participant in the teaching-learning process.

A multi-channel approach is followed for instruction. It comprises a suitable mix of:

• Customized Self Instructional Online Material (SIM) for self-study
• Online Classroom Sessions: The interaction is live and uses high quality video, audio and data at any place of convenience
• Assignments and case studies are integral part of learning
• Digital Library
• Project work

Self Instructional Online Material (SIM)

Online materials are the primary form of instructional materials during this program. SIMs are designed to make the subject matter self-explanatory and easy to understand. The SIM is divided into blocks consisting of several units. Each unit is sized in such a manner that it can be studied in a session of about 3 to 4hours.

Faculty led Online PCP Sessions

Schedules for these lectures are intimated at the beginning of every week to candidates. These sessions provide opportunity for interactive education and enrich learners' knowledge by directing it to practice.

Assignments and Case study

The main purpose of assignments is to test students' comprehension and value addition from the online sessions they receive and also to help them successfully complete the courses by providing feedback to them. Assignments carry 50% weightage towards final result.

Project Work

Very central feature of this program is that it is planned around project work. The objective of the project work is to help the student develop the ability to apply the concepts learned and to bring about an improvement in the work environment.
