2. ABOUTTHECURRICULUM
TAPMI has always been innovative in its approach to management education and has been updatingitscurriculumandprogrammestructuretoincorporatetheconstantevolutionofnew thoughtsandpracticesinmanagement,aswellastoaddresstheemergingneedsofindustry. The Institute has recognized for quite some time that management education in the new millenniumoughtto:

a) Encouragestudentstoexplore,experimentandlearningtolearn. b) Enable students to meet with confidence the uncertainties and challenges in the businessenvironment. c) Impartskillstoenablestudentstoadapttochangesinsituations,peopleorprocesses. d) Enablethestudentstolearnfunctionalknowledgeandexpertiseinordertoexcelintheir chosenfieldsofwork. e) Enablethestudentstoappreciatetherobustnessofmanagementtheorieswithpractice. f) Equipthestudentswithanappreciationofvalues,ethicsandprinciplesofsocialjustice.

TAPMIshasamissionstatementwhichisconsistentwiththeaboveobjectives.TAPMIsmission is

Wearecommittedtoexcellenceinmanagementeducation,researchand practice by nurturing and developing global wealth creators and leaders. We shall continually benchmark ourselves against the best in class institutions. We shall foster continuous learning and reflection, achievement orientation, creative interdependence and respect for diversitywithaholisticconcernforethics,environmentandthesociety. Thecurriculumisplannedkeepinginmindtheprogrammelevelgoalswhichin turn are derived from the mission statement. The institutes has set the followingastheprogrammelevelgoals

Demonstrationofmasteryinthefundamentalsoftechnicalandfunctional areasofmanagementofanenterprise.

Demonstrationofunderstandingofeffectiveintegrationandcoordination ofallfunctionalareasandresultantimpactonperformance.

Demonstrationofconceptualknowledgeandskillstoviewanenterpriseas a whole and of how the enterprises strategy and organization be harmonizedwithexternalforcesintheenvironment

Application of the principles of ethics and corporate governance in a varietyofsettings.

Demonstration of the capacity to take leadership role in business situations.

Inaccordancewiththeabove,theentirePostGraduateProgrammeisawellthoughtoutmixof classroomstudyandexperiential/practicaltraining.Itisafullyresidentialprogramoftwoyears. The Program involves learning through classroom sessions, discussions and exercises, project assignments with organizations, and field based course specific project work. However, the emphasisoftheentireprogrammewouldbeonselflearning.

2.1 ClassRoomPedagogy
Theclassroomsessionscompriseofsixtermsspreadacrosstwoacademicyearsofstudy.The first year (three terms) consists of a rigorous and intensive grounding in basic management functions. These courses are compulsory in nature. During the second year (three terms), in additiontocertaincompulsorycourses,thestudentcanoptforelectives,basedontheirareas of interest. TAPMI offers electives in the areas of Marketing, Finance, Systems, Operations, General Management and Human Resource Management. The class room pedagogy ranges across traditional class room instruction, simulations, case method, etc. Simulations and case methodofteachingareadoptedinabigwayacrossthecurriculum,tosupplementclassroom instruction/lecture. Simulations illustrate the complex interplay of variables and replicate real situations,andthestudentcanunderstandordecideonacourseofaction.Discussionofcases based on business situations helps a student connect the theory that s/he is learning with practical reality. S/he must understand situations, and may or may not have to decide on a course of action, based on the information available. Thus, class room instruction, when supplemented with case based discussions, helps the student in developing a deep and rich understandingofbusinessandmanagement.

2.2 FieldbasedExperientialLearning
Thecurriculumplacesgreatemphasisonfieldbasedexperientiallearning.Learningintheclass room must be supplemented with field based learning, to result in an understanding that is holistic,andconnectstheorywithpractice.ThePGDMprogrammehasmanycomponentsthat arefieldbased,suchasManagementinPractice(MIP),OutboundProgrammeandNGOProject, whichareimportantandintegralpartsofourProgram. 2.2.1 ManagementInPractice/FieldWork The project assignment with organizations (ManagementinPractice or MIP/Fieldwork) has threecomponents.A3dayfieldwork(MIPPhase1)duringterm2introducesthestudenttoan organizational/businesssetting.Duringtheeightweeksummerproject(MIPPhase2)afterterm 3,reallifemanagerialissuesconfrontedbyorganizationsareidentified,analyzedanddiscussed

During MIP Phase 3 (Term 4) the student is expected to present the report to a groupoffaculty.Boththepresentationandthereportareevaluated. 2.2.2 NGOProject/OutboundProgramme In the first year a student is required to take either an NGO project or undergo an outbound programme.Thedetailsoftheseprogrammesaregivenbelow:

A) OutboundProgramme Thisprogrammeisconductedbyaspecializedagency.Studentsgothroughaseriesofactivities in a challenging environment where even the simplest tasks require planning, leadership, communication and teamwork. After going through an experience, students reflect on their learning,conceptualizetheirlearning,anddecidetoretainfunctionalbehavioror,wherethey desireachange,experimentwithnewbehaviours.

Theyareexpectedtomakesenseoutofuncertainty.Theymustmakebestuseoftheresources available. Team working and communication skills are expected to be improved. Sensitivity to environmentisexpectedtobeenhanced.Studentsalsounderstandphysicalfitnessandrealize itsimportance.

B) NGOProject

Animportantcomponentoftheprogrammethatenhancesfieldbasedexperientiallearningis the NGO Project. This is to enable students to sensitize themselves to issues of social development and social development management. Students work with NonGovernment Organizations and undertake social and community projects to gain an understanding of non profit service organizations. More importantly, by working with and contributing to the managementoftheNGOs,thestudentsdevelopadditionalperspectiveswithrespecttoroleof businessinsociety,whichenhancestheirdecisiontakingcapabilities.

StudentswhoaredeeplyinterestedandpassionateaboutNGOworkaregiventhisopportunity. Students opting for NGO would spend 45 days during their first year in an NGO and identify specificprojecttoworkonforthenexttwoyearswiththeguidanceofafacultymember.This long duration work would be consideredas a Course of Independent Study (CIS) which would earn2creditsforthestudent.Attheendoftheproject,studentsarerequiredtomeetallthe requirements of a CIS.
