A brief idea about the PGP Program and PGP HR program is as given below.
PGPM is the flagship Program of MDI. It is one of the most coveted Programs at MDI and ranks amongst the very best across the top B-Schools in India.

Core Courses
The PGPM course curriculum is spread over six terms of about three months each. The core courses are covered in four terms, with the bulk of it covered in the first three terms. During this period, students take courses in general management and major functional areas, such as finance and accounting, marketing, operations management, information technology management, organization behavior, human resources and strategic management. They are also exposed to the basic disciplines of economics, behavioral sciences, information technology, quantitative methods and decision sciences.
At the end of the first three terms, the students go for an industry internship or summer training with an organization. The internship usually spans over an eight to ten-week period. This is a compulsory component of the curriculum for the completion of the academic Program. Since the summer internship is a vital component in the promotion of the student into the second year, they are also graded for this.
In the second year, the students take elective / optional courses to specialize in a maximum of two functional areas. These areas are: Finance, Information Management, Marketing, Strategy and Operations Management. All elective packages, however, may not be offered, as this would be determined by the number(s) of students showing interest in specializing in different areas. The Institute may also consider new electives in line with recent developments and availability of expertise to offer the same.
