Sub: Proposed Curriculum for 2015-17 batch.

It has always remained a challenging activity to combine Textiles and Management
to create a unique blend of Techno Managers to man the future Indian textile
Industry. I wish our team all the success.
Our basic objective is to offer Textile Management and on this pretext the following
are my observations.
1. Its really an encouraging idea to shift the project to the fourth semester
there by helping the student in placing himself.
Observation: Instead of planning for the entire fourth semester for Project its
advised that we may have 2 months of 1 credit courses and later he can take
up the project work in the Industry. (This can help in accommodating more
Textiles and apparel subjects.)
2. The entire curriculum holistic view:
Observation: Largely its noticed that many of the Textiles and Apparel
Subjects have been removed or moved to elective category. It deprives the
student of the holistic textiles or apparel knowledge. As you are aware that
there is a quantum of difference between Apparel and Textiles as it comes in
relation to Management. My humble view is that more textile and apparel
specific core subjects should be reinstated for the respective programs.
3. As per AICTE norms around 30 subjects are needed for a PGDM 2 year
programme and also there are limitations of contact hours, Projects and
Industrial Trainings. There is also set guidelines for semester patterns
including starting dates and exams etc. Its sincerely hoped that all such
guidelines may be followed.
4. Many of the Tiles are given management names such as Financial
Management, Marketing Management etc.,
Observation: I largely find that all these subjects should have textile imbibed
into it. Even in names. As this is only a curriculum, we need to see how the
entire syllabus is designed. I hope both of them have to go hand in hand to
have a Balance nature of Subjects.
The syllabus should have special references towards the Textile Industry
specific applications in the area of Finance and Marketing. As we all know that
for eg. 40% Hank yarn obligation of spinning mill, its mandatory but how the
mills face the situation. (Book of records for the purpose). VAT and service tax
as applicable to textiles (Training on virtual filing of returns). Now importantly
