The graduates from the first four batches of this programme have been absorbed enthusiastically by industry for various C-suite and other senior level executive positions, both domestically and internationally.

Placement Policies and Procedures

PGPX 2010-11 PLACEMENTS CALENDAR OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH
Corporate Presentations On-Campus Recruiting Guidelines for Recruiting Organizations The PGPX placement committee and relationship managers will work with you to streamline placement processes for recruiters and participants. They will help schedule your visits for presentations and recruitment interviews. Pre-placement presentations (up to 2 rounds) enable you to inform participants of your organizations unique opportunities and challenges, and your culture and structure. We have found a 20-minute presentation and a 20-minute Q&A session most effective. Presence of senior executives and alumni help create a better impact. Negotiations on compensation and other terms of employment should be held in strict confidence between you and the candidate. However, recruiters need to keep the Placement Committee informed at the following stages to ensure that all recruiters are able to hire effectively and efficiently. When a preliminary offer is made When a final offer is made When a candidate accepts or rejects a final offer Recruitment Fee There is a fee for participating in the recruitment, and a charge per successful hire (amounts will be informed by the relationship manager). Companies headquartered in India, with turnover below `1 bn and Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are exempt from the participation fee. PGPX participants have substantial work experience and are selected through a rigorous admission process. The class therefore follows a strict non-disclosure policy for course grades and GMAT scores.

The PGPX programme includes application of academic learning through the following projects a faculty-guided Individual Research Project (IRP), a simulation-based Capstone Project, and an optional industry sponsored project after the academic component of the International Immersion Programme (IIP) Individual Research Project Under guidance of a faculty, participants study an industry or a company, using the Institutes resources and interactions with stakeholders. IRP provides students an opportunity to explore their passion while taking advantage of the rich and diverse experience of the IIMA faculty network. Each of these projects results in one of the following: A business plan An industry note A company-specific case study A business plan on bridging the social divide International Immersion Programme This enables participants to apply their learning in a different environment from their home culture, and to take effective business decisions in a multicultural context. This years students have a choice of attending National University of Singapore, Chinese University of Hongkong, Fudan University, Shanghai (China) or Warwick Business School (UK). In the three weeks following that, the participants have an option to pursue sponsored consulting projects in the areas including M&A, revenue models, financial product development and balanced score-cards across the globe. Capstone Project This is the culmination of the programme. During this period, participants are asked to resolve difficult business situations, working in large multidisciplinary teams against tough timelines, in a simulated business environment. This helps test and develop skills in the rational, individual and social dimensions of leadership. Some of the projects executed by PGPX students of earlier batches are: Developing strategy and a complete revenue model for a mobile remittance service in the US-Mexico corridor Feasibility study for an international company to enter Indian markets Developing a framework for a company to evaluate its acquisition successes Devising a methodology for the implementation of activity based costing at a firm in the Middle East Developing a new product offering and market expansion for a financial services company
