Chennai: The Indian
Institute of Management-Tiruchirapalli will offer short courses,
apart from the three-year post-graduate programme in business
management, for working executives at its newly inaugurated centre
here, a senior official said.
The new short-term courses will be offered from the next academic
year.
"We will also utilize the centre here to offer short-term
executive education (Management Development Programme) and
certification programme. The centre will also serve as a
convenient platform to conduct placement-related activities,"
Suresh Paul Anthony, chairperson of PGPBM, told IANS.
The move is expected to help utilise the premises here in an
optimal way.
"The short-term courses will be of two kinds. One will be around
six months and the other will be for around four days. The courses
will be purely industry-oriented," Anthony said.
The centre here, which was inaugurated Wednesday, has two 60-seat
classrooms, one 40- and one 25-seater classrooms.
The centre also has a conference hall, computer lab and a library.
The admission process for the second batch of PGPBM will be
announced in leading dailies in March 2013. The total intake will
be around 40.
The curriculum is completely aligned with the two year full-time
Post Graduate Programme in Trichy, and includes 18 core courses,
15 elective courses, and one industrial project, spread over three
years.
The faculty comprises permanent and guest faculty of IIM-Trichy.
Anthony said there are 28 students in the first batch that
commenced this year.
"We were constrained by space and hence were not able to take more
students," he said.
