SPJIMR’s Professional Development (PD) clubs form one of the most dynamic and high-impact portfolios at SPJIMR. Covering domains such as analytics, consulting, investing, marketing, operations, product management, and public speaking, these clubs operate as year-long learning platforms aligned with industry expectations. Through workshops, live projects, competitions, peer learning, and placement preparation, PD clubs enable students to develop domain-specific expertise and apply classroom learning to real-world contexts.
Students may apply to a maximum of three Professional Development (PD) clubs, but can be selected into only one. A preference form must be submitted prior to applying to any PD club. Each PD club conducts its own annual selection process, comprising structured and rigorous recruitment rounds. The selected members represent the club for the academic year and carry its legacy forward to the next cohort.
