 POST GRADUATE PROGRAMME IN
PROJECT ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT
(PGP PEM)
INTRODUCTION
Today Engineering Project Management is a well-
defined business area. Engineering excellence in the
field of Infrastructure, Industrial, Financial and
Service sector, requires vital skills and knowledge
of Project Engineering and Management principles.
Many new projects have been launched in the last
five years in the field of Infrastructure, Power,
Telecommunication, Oil & Gas and Information
Technology. Many more projects are coming in the
near future.
Completing the engineering project in a competitive
environment needs specialized manpower. Project
Engineers and Managers are required in large
numbers. They should be well versed in principles of
Project Management and System Engineering with
multidisciplinary approach.
The industries like Steel, Oil & gas, Petrochemical,
Power etc. need these professionals for their
Projects. The Project management professionals are
opted by EPC organizations and even the Engineering
consultants to complete the projects effectively. The
professionals have equal opportunity in all Engineering
organizations.
The graduate engineers who are trained in specialized
area such as mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical,
petrochemical Engineering and never get focused on
multidisciplinary demands of modern projects and
remain inadequate in their understanding of areas
other than their own subject knowledge.
Project Management organization has to train
engineers and managers by directly exposing them
to “Ongoing Project” as on-the-Job training. This
training is inadequate without understanding the
fundamentals of Project Engineering and
Management principles. They practice various
aspects of Project Engineering & Management, but
leave a lot of gap in their understanding.
The Project Engineering and Management course
provides the solution to fresh engineers and
experienced Engineering Professionals as a new
career. The Project Engineering and Management is
unique course and hardly any institute of repute offers
similar course in India.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the Programme is to train young
and dynamic graduate engineers to develop them into
mature and knowledgeable professional project
managers with the potential to manage large projects
in any field in India or abroad, to shoulder
responsibility in any functional capacity with some
of the essential competencies, such as
• Sound knowledge of theory and practice of
project management.
• Proficiency in engineering & construction of
projects in different sectors.
• Skills in financial, marketing and human
resource issues in the projects.
• Techniques of dealing with quality, planning,
software and IT systems.
The electives offered in the programme allow
engineers from different disciplines to select special
engineering & management subjects to enhance their
subject expertise in tune with careers of their choice.
GOALS
• To make PGP PEM Programme one of the
most sought after Programmes within six
years of its inception so that the best
engineering talent will pursue Project
Management education and career.
• To undertake extensive studies in
performance of completed projects, or those
under execution and to share that learning
with Project Management fraternity.
• To create a unique identity and position for
PGP PEM Programme so that the top project
consultants and contractors will employ
NICMAR PGP PEM post graduates.
THE PROGRAMME
This programme of studies builds upon the concepts
and practices of Project Engineering and Management
and combines subject knowledge with project
practices.
The first year introduces various general management
subjects to improve students’ understanding of key
aspects in business management. This unfolds the
basic phenomenon and relationships that characterise
the changing world in which management practitioner
must operate. At the same time, Project related
subjects are blended to link the theoretical studies
to practical issues in Project Management.
During the second year, specialised areas of project
management are introduced to develop indepth
knowledge of project management. This knowledge
enhancement process is supplemented by exposure
to elective subjects in the areas of Oil and Gas,
Process Industry, Building Services, Piping
Engineering, Power Plant Engineering, Telecom and
many other areas.
1
Practical experience is also gained by students
through study tours and summer training. Project
based thesis work under the supervision of internal
and external experts develop skills in scientific
analysis of problems and report writing. Computer
application skills and knowledge of quantitative
methods creates an analytical edge for managerial
decision making expected in the complex project
management world. The students are trained on
various softwares required for Project Management
and Analysis.
DURATION AND ORGANISATION
The Programme duration is two years. It is organised
into 6 Trimesters with each Trimester of
approximately 13 weeks duration with suitable

undergo a supervised field training with a reputed
project construction / consulting firm for 10 -12
weeks period. During this period they have to
learn the project management practices followed
at project site including planning, execution,
progress assessment, site management, reporting
etc. The training being on the job, the student
is also expected to perform certain regular duties
on the project as may be felt fit by the respective
organization.
Organizations for practical training are carefully
selected from among the reputed firms. The host
organization is expected to nominate a senior
officer to supervise the student’s work, be
willing to pay a stipend to the student and
hopefully may offer employment to the student
trained by it. Essentially, the Institute looks for
meaningful and supervised work experience for
the student. Sponsored students may be allowed
to do training in their own organisations. Students
are expected to assist the institute in arranging
their Summer Training.

requirements during the first year. The student
selects a topic of study having relevance to the
current economic / industrial / project scenario
and are expected to write a Report on the basis
of information and data collected through different
sources. Although any field work is not expected
for such papers, in-depth understanding of the
basic issues involved and academic style
presentation are evaluated. The evaluation is by
the Institute’s faculty.
viii. Project Thesis
The Project Thesis is an independent qualifying
requirement and also carries weightage in the final
evaluation. Students should select a topic for
project work on a live problem in the industry or
a macro-issue having a bearing on performance
of the industry. The topic should be researchable
in the given time and should be approved by the
Institute. It should involve scientific design of a
study, collection and analysis of data and preparing
a thesis in report format.
The students are allotted a research guide by the

on :
i. one hour mid-term examination,
ii. an essay type assignment on a topic assigned
by the course faculty,
iii. the student’s overall performance in the class, and
iv. half-an-hour presentation in the class on a
selected and relevant topic.
The faculty concerned announces the results of
internal assessment in the class so that the students
are aware of their performance. The answer books
of mid-Term tests are also returned to a student so
that one can verify and convince oneself of the
correctness of the assessment done by the faculty.
