MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR - PGDM
Dear Applicant,
You will agree with me that the meaning of education in general and
“higher education” in particular has undergone a change over the years in
India and elsewhere. The ideals prevalent in the elite corridors of education
planning combine intellectual gains with job opportunities aimed at
offering life skills to tackle the emerging world order. So also, at Great
Lakes, these aspects have received top priority while designing this two-
year Post Graduate Diploma in Management Program. The new-age MBA,
as we call it, addresses not only individual learning issues but also creates
capabilities and skill sets in people to compete in the emerging global
business arena.
Several Indian companies have already changed both their direction and
speed in leading business opportunities within the last decade. The big
challenge for these companies is the availability of desired managerial
manpower to handle business across emerging economies. A cursory
glance at the Indian management education scene, where the focus of a
management program is entirely on this new world order, draws a blank.
As the trade among these countries is likely to grow multifold and Indian
majors will dominate this space as key players, the big gap in sourcing
talented manpower for these companies will widen. And this is the exact
gap that our program is designed to fill.
You will be joining as our second batch of students to this program and lots
of plans are already coming to fruition with the first batch. We welcome you
to join and experience the nuances of doing business in an emerging world.
Cheers!

EMPIRICAL STUDY & SUMMER INTERNSHIP
EMPIRICAL STUDY
Empirical study – a unique value proposition from Great lakes institute of
Management – is a fully mentored 6 credit, 3 term rigorous academic
activity involving the identification of a core business problem and ways
and means of solving the same. The problem selected pertains to the
chosen horizontal function and vertical domain specialization of the
student. The coordination with respect to this empirical study will be
handled by the Yale-Great Lakes Center for Management Research.
SUMMER INTERNSHIP
The summer internship of Great Lakes is structured more in tune with the
traditional summer internships offered across B-schools. It involves
rigorous hands on, on-site industry exposure spread over a duration of
8- 10 weeks. If empirical study takes on a theoretical flavor in terms of
problem analysis, the summer internship takes on a hands-on applications
flavor.
Ÿ Runs through the months of April-May-June at the end of the first year.
Ÿ Students will be required to put in not less than 120 hours of input.
The benefits that are common to both summer internship and empirical
study are:
