Post Graduate Diploma in Management Dual Country Programme (DCP)

Graduates from IMT are increasingly stepping into roles that require working with international clientele and colleagues. Conventional PGDM/MBA programmes poorly equip the students with skills needed for cross-cultural interaction by offering short-term international exchange. PGDM (Dual Country Programme), on the other hand, provides the students with a year-long intense international experience in a multi-cultural environment in one of the most dynamic markets of the world. Students get to learn the global way of life, study internationally benchmarked curriculum and work with multinational companies.

Services sector contributes the maximum to the world economy. Most job offers made to MBA students also come from services sector. To give a cutting edge exposure to students of DCP, the programme is strategically achored around Dubai which is the hub for best practices in services business. DCP students experience the scope, scale and speed of service businesses in context of Dubai.

DCP is broad enough to cover different industry verticals and offer diverse career prospects, yet focussed enough to impart core skills relating to a dominant sector of economy i.e. services.

Business is an ever evolving phenomenon and so is business school education; IMT Ghaziabad continues to strive to raise its own bar in terms of content and pedagogical practices. It is in the process of revising its curriculum, once again. Key highlights of the new curriculum would be cross functional core courses like Design Thinking, Negotiation Skills and Cross Functional Simulation; these courses add inventiveness, nimbleness and flexibility to the students’ problem solving skillset for the emerging business environment and groom them to function as a leader in the long run.

As a socially responsible institution, IMT Ghaziabad offers its students an action-based course on Sustainability and Social Responsibility, aimed at learning by doing, while simultaneously serving the needs of society. It requires the students to work with the community through on-ground projects. The idea is to understand how people who are different from us live their lives, to appreciate contribution as a value and to know how each of the decisions we take in business impacts society.
