PIM’s MBA program has been re-engineered, based on the Institute’s experience of conducting the program for over 25 years and the emerging needs of today’s competitive local and global markets.
The program spans a period of two years and moves logically and sequentially from courses on Management Foundations to Integrative Studies, followed by Elective Courses and Research Paper/Project.
MBA is structured on robust theoretical foundations and immediate practical applications. Action-learning that is facilitated by assignments and project work, helps students to relate the cutting-edge knowledge they gather to their world-of-work.
The new program is designed to help the busy working manager.
It is the Institute’s experience that those who enjoy their study, do best in the program, and it is the institute’s endeavour to provide a rich learning experience that will transform student-managers into outstanding leaders and achievers.
