About IIM Indore

Established in 1996, Indian Institute of Management Indore is the sixth in the prestigious IIM family
of management schools. The institute was chosen to be set up in Indore to give an impetus to
management education in central India and has ever since been acting as the pioneer in the
field of management, interfacing with the industry, government sectors and PSUs.
The essence of management, IIM I believes, lies in managing ones own ambitions and forging
ahead consciously. A strong theoretical foundation is the basis of good corporate practice
this, coupled with a grounding in management as it is practiced, is the underlying theme of the
flagship Post Graduate Programme (PGP). Spanning two years the programme is benchmarked
against similar programmes of the best business schools in the world. Experiential learning, IT
orientation, and social sensitivity are some of the unique features of the programme. A range
of courses in personality development, ethics, corporate governance, rural development and
exposure to realities of social life in India enable the student to develop abilities and talent to
shoulder challenging management positions in a varied socio-cultural and economic setting.
IIM Indores achievements in such a short span of time can be attributed to its innovative spirit, its
will to excel, and, to a great extent, to the relationship it has developed with the Indore community.

Curriculum
Program at IIM Indore
The Post Graduate Programme (PGP) in Management at IIM Indore is a two-year, full-time,
residential programme. It is recognized by the Association of Indian Universities and is considered
equivalent to the M.B.A. Degree. The PGP is spread over two years, each year consisting of three
terms. In between the first and second years, the participant spends eight weeks on a summer
project in a business organization. The academic year begins in June/July and ends in March/
April of the following year.
The PGP of IIM Indore has some special features like:
Experiential Learning
International Focus
Information Technology Orientation
Social Sensitivity
In the second year electives give participants a deeper understanding of different functional
areas and enable them to specialize in areas of their choice. The participants are encouraged
to select courses in specific domains such as Analytics, Ecom./IT/ITES, BFS, FMCG, Insurance and
Infrastructure. The emphasis is on the application of knowledge gained, in the form of projects,
group exercises and case discussions. Guest lectures and workshops further enrich their learning.

Rural Immersion
At IIM Indore, there is an overwhelming realization of the important role that rural India will play
in the overall development of this nation. In this spirit, IIM Indore organizes an annual Rural
Immersion Program for its students in the first year of the PGP program. The purpose of this
program is to familiarize students with the ground realities of various Districts in Madhya Pradesh.
The entire effort works wonderfully at sensitizing the participants towards the needs and problems
of the village communities, and how the government machinery in addition to non-government
organizations is working towards the betterment of the people in these districts. The participants
are interfaced with key government officials like, District Collector, Magistrate etc. to have
first-hand knowledge of functioning and ground level implementation of various government
policies. This exposes them to the lifestyle of the rural population and sensitizes them to the need
of inclusive growth.

The Himalayan Outbound Programme

Taking cognizance of the changing scenario, IIM Indore has incorporated a unique initiative into
the curriculum a mandatory Himalayan Outbound Programme for the second year students of
its PGP. The students spend a week in the Himalayas at altitudes ranging from 7000 feet to 12000
feet as a part of this programme. They experience an admixture of tasks for execution and fun
activities, designed to take them out of their comfort zone but also giving space for reflection.
The range of activities spans trekking and adventure sports such as rappelling and river rafting.
In the face of extreme challenges, team-building happens naturally. Students bond with one
another and the accompanying faculty in a natural environment, albeit a hitherto alien setting
for learning.

PGP Mumbai Chairs Message

I am pleased to inform that IIM Indore,which has a reputation
of fastest growing IIM in the country, has launched its Two
Year Full Time Post Graduate Programme (PGP) at Mumbai.
With inauguration of this programme in 2012, IIM Indore has
become the first IIM to operate in the financial capital of the
country. The campus has been started with an aim to forge
strong corporate-academia relationship.
First batch (2012-14) comprises of 33 participants who come
from diverse backgrounds like Fashion Designing, Medical,
Commerce and Engineering. PGP at Mumbai is broadly similar
to the flagship PGP program at Indore in terms of selection
criteria, academics and faculty. Selections were done on the
basis of CAT and GMAT which ensured a healthy mix of fresher
and experienced students.
Average CAT score of the batch is similar to that of PGP at
Indore whereas average GMAT score is 700. Besides full time
faculty from IIM Indore, visiting faculty from other premier
Institutes and Industry ensure that students are trained in rigorous
and effective manner.
A strong academic and extracurricular exposure helped the
participants in securing good summer internship opportunities
in reputed organizations. Diverse profiles across Finance,
Operations, Strategy and Marketing domains were offered to
students.
I invite you to interact with these talented young prospective
managers to identify the appropriate human resources for your
organization.

PGP Dubai Chairs Message

The current bilateral trade volume indicates that this is exciting time in the

PGP at Ras Al Khaimah, UAE has been started by IIM Indore in 2011
to cater to the growing needs of these emerging markets. The broad
objective of the course is to provide high quality management education
to prepare global leaders for managing businesses in the GCC countries.
Currently, IIM Indore is conducting this programme in collaboration with
Centre of Excellence for Applied Research and Training (CERT), UAE.
The program is broadly similar to that of PGP at IIM Indore. In the first
year students are exposed to all the core courses of management. In
the second year students can choose from a wide range of electives
from Finance & Marketing areas for specialization. They can also choose
courses from Economics, Operations, Information System and Strategy
areas. In this programme a few region-specific elective courses such
as Real Estate Management, Retail Management, Islamic Banking,
Management of Oil & Gas Sector are also offered. The case based
methodology is followed in delivering most of the courses.
We believe in the overall personality development of our participants.
They are encouraged to organise and compete in various business

inspires one to display, nurture and develop ones talents during the two
