The PGDSM MIT program provides an opportunity for both young graduates and experienced professionals to develop into global IT managers. The course curriculum is spread across five terms that combines the best in general management, systems management and IT solutions inputs from SPJIMR and Virginia Tech.

The courses under this program cover diverse academic areas such as finance, marketing, operations, strategic management and information systems. A case based approach stimulates analytical thinking across topics ranging from market entry and expansion to global culture and integration. These, coupled with courses like software quality management and software engineering, enable participants to inculcate a holistic problem solving mindset.

The participants also get an experience of working in various industry sectors, during their autumn's project and get to catch a sneak peek at facing real life business challenges as managers and consultants. The final term cements the learning curve of the participants through a thesis presentation and elective courses before they move into their corporate careers.

The unique teaching approaches adopted by the faculty from SPJIMR along with the extensive knowledge and world class experience brought in by the faculties from Pamplin College of Business and Virginia Tech makes the PGDSM MIT curriculum one of the best amalgamations of Eastern and Western pedagogies.

Besides the rigorous academic curriculum, the participants are put through personality development exercises both in-campus and outbound (DOCC, Personal Growth Lab) ensuring their development into team leaders and people's managers.
