Post Graduate Program in Management - PGPM

Post Graduate Program in Management - PGPM

PGPM at SMOT

Background of the program
Postgraduate Program in Management, popularly called PGPM, is generally offered by Business Schools, not affiliated to any university. These programs have a very strong corporate recognition which is evident from the placement records hese schools have and the kind of salary the students are offered. SMOT has taken a policy decision of being a non-affiliated B School to enjoy absolute academic freedom in designing its own curriculum and administer the academic affairs on a scale that would make the students internationally competitive. Such an objective is achieved by liberally drawing faculty from the corporate, industry, professional bodies and well known B Schools across the world apart from the faculty from reputed schools from within India.

Highlights of the program
A rigorous course PGPM in SMOT is completed by doing 24 course credits which is the same as (or more than) the credits earned by MBAs in India and abroad. Each course is of three credits (36 hours) offered over a period of 12 course weeks. This is the international norm and SMOT exactly follows this norm.

A result oriented course
PGPM in SMOT is orientated to the needs of both industry and the students. The number 1 need is better fitment leading to better stability leading to greater productivity. In order to fulfill this requirement, SMOT is delivering a new offering in the management education space called a Career Track Vertical. A Career Track Vertical is a systematic track of education that prepares a candidate for a career in a particular domain. One such track is the Management Consulting Track where SMOT is currently the only institution in India to offer such an option to both students and industry. This course is delivered in collaboration with CAMC (Canadian association of management consultants). With this sort of systematic and unique education, SMOT’s candidates stand well equipped to deliver outstanding results on their jobs.

Extraordinary academic standards
Recognizing that excellence in management requires not just knowledge but also skills to use that knowledge, domain and personality skills and a set of values that improve the credibility of the candidate, SMOT insists on its candidates satisfy more than just academic criteria. In addition to the 24 course credits, SMOT students undergo a number of other programs which need to be passed even though they carry no credit. These programs are aimed at improving the skills, personal effectiveness and the exposure of the candidates to global best practices. Not only that, SMOT students are expected to clear third party certifications mandatorily. These certifications are SMOT’s way of guaranteeing certain attributes to Industry.

Research driven learning
SMOT’s PGPM is learning oriented not teaching oriented. To keep pace with fast changing and evolving trends in business, SMOT students are expected to learn by conducting research in collaboration with the faculty and an appropriate industry guide. Students are expected to publish their findings in appropriate third party journals and this is a necessary step in obtaining SMOT’s PGPM.

Three Introductory Courses in Indian Psychology 2008 - 2009

Three Introductory Courses in Indian Psychology 2008 - 2009
Three Introductory Courses in Indian Psychology 2008 - 2009

1 year: 8-day intensive + 8 monthly weekends in Pondicherry
1 semester: 8-day intensive + regular evening & 4 weekend classes in Pondicherry
1 year: 8-day intensive in Pondicherry + 8 monthly weekends in Delhi

Background
More and more people are becoming aware of the treasures which the Indian tradition can contribute to our psychological understanding of human nature. Indian literature, philosophy and yoga are based on a very deep insight in life and how it unfolds on this planet, and Indian approaches to psychology can add a greater depth and meaning to psychological theory as well as practice. The life-affirming spirituality that is the very basis of the Indian civilization is not only essential for our own individual happiness, but also for the harmonious evolution of the global civilization. In theoretical fields as well as in applications like counselling, psychotherapy and education, Indian approaches to psychology are not only more in harmony with the Indian culture but also with human nature in general, so that they can play a crucial role in the future of the whole of humanity. In each of these courses we will try to develop a genuinely integral approach to psychology, for which we will base ourselves largely on Sri Aurobindo’s synthesis of the Indian tradition, though other sources will be brought in when needed.

Content and structure of the courses
The basic concepts and processes that are part of Indian psychology will be explained in lectures and discussion groups that are based on an intense, direct interaction with the participants. To the extent possible we will have, besides the larger groups, also small-group and individual sessions.
An attempt will be made to help the participants experience the core concepts and processes that come up in the lectures, and to explore, both collectively and individually, how they can be used for one’s personal growth as well as in one’s professional work.
During the course the participants are required to take up one or more research projects in any area of Indian psychology of their choice. These largely self-directed projects will involve besides literature study, detached self-observation and other yoga-based research methodologies.
Maintaining a diary will be part of the course structure.

The One-year course in Pondicherry
The one-year course in Pondicherry starts with an eight-day intensive in Pondicherry, June 22-29, 2008.
Spread over the following academic year, there will be 8 one-day workshops in Pondicherry. These workshops will be held on the Sunday of every second weekend of the month, except October. The first workshop will be August 10, 2008; the last will be April 12, 2009. During the preceding Saturdays, starting from Saturday August 9, there will be an opportunity to discuss individually or in small groups the projects which the participants will do at home during the intervening months.
This course will focus on the needs of post-graduate students, lecturers and professionals in Psychology and related subjects, who want to get a basic understanding of Indian approaches to Psychology.
As Pondicherry is well-connected, applicants from all over South-India can apply.
The total fee for this course is Rs. 4000/- , which is Rs. 2000/- for the eight-day intensive (incl. board and lodging) plus 8 x Rs. 250/- for the 8 Sundays (incl. lunch and tea/coffee). If required, accommodation during the 8 weekends can be arranged in one the Sri Aurobindo Ashram guesthouses, starting at Rs. 50/- per night.

The One-semester course in Pondicherry
The One-semester course in Pondicherry includes the eight-day intensive and the first four of the eight Sunday workshops mentioned above under the One-year Pondicherry course.
In between there will be regular evening classes on themes like “Vedic Literature”, “Integral Yoga Psychology”, “The Gita”, etc. Students can also opt for special classes on subjects like counselling, education, Sanskrit etc. according to their interest and availability of resource people.
This course is meant primarily for psychology students and teachers who want to achieve in a short period as deep an understanding of the psychological aspects of Sri Aurobindo’s work and the Indian tradition in general as they can manage. We think especially of students who are planning to take up a PhD project in which they want to include aspects from the Indian tradition, PhD students who are already involved in such a study, and University and College level teachers who want to spend a sabbatical on deepening their understanding of the Indian tradition.
Residents of Pondicherry and Auroville who work during the day but want to make a serious effort to deepen their understanding of the psychological aspects of the Indian tradition and Sri Aurobindo’s work can also apply. We cannot take responsibility for accommodation in Pondicherry during the semester course, but we will do our best to help.
As we envisage for this course a wide variety among the participants in terms of previous knowledge, interest and commitment, self-directed study will occupy an important place.
The fee for the eight-day intensive is the same as in the One-year course (Rs. 2000/-). Other elements of this course will be free, except, perhaps, for some of the self-chosen special classes.

The One-year course in Delhi
The feasibility of the Delhi course depends on the interest, and on the availability of a proper venue.
The course is tentatively proposed as follows:
The Delhi course starts with an eight-day intensive workshop in Pondicherry, May 25 to June 2, 2008.
During the following academic year there will be 8 two-day workshops in Delhi. These weekend workshops will be held every first weekend of the month, except in January. The first weekend will be August 2 & 3, 2008; the last will be April 4 & 5, 2009.
This course will focus on the needs of post-graduate students, lecturers and professionals working in the field of Psychology, who want to get a basic understanding of Indian approaches to Psychology.
As Delhi is well connected, residents of other cities in North-India can also apply.
The total fee for this course is tentatively set at Rs. 6800/-, which is Rs. 2000/- for the eight-day intensive (incl. board and lodging) plus 8 x Rs. 600/- for each of the 8 weekends (incl. lunch and tea/coffee). If required, accommodation during the 8 weekends can be arranged separately.

Scholarships
Scholarships may be provided for deserving candidates.

Course facilitators
The facilitators are Matthijs Cornelissen, Neeltje Huppes, and Alok Pandey. Amongst other available resource persons we are happy to have Vladimir Iatsenko, Vijaybharti, Suneet Varma, and Partho.

MPhil Programme in Applied Economics
The CDS MPhil programme is one of the very few courses in the country wherein students from any discipline with a Masters level degree can seek admission. The main criterion is their interest in the study of development issues. The focus on applied economics from a plural perspective and the adaptation of effective learning tools have made this programme unique in the country. It is suited ideally to students of economics who wish to sharpen their skills in applied economic research and those from other disciplines willing to learn the economic dimension of social development, and to professionals in Governmental/non–Governmental organisations, the media and consultant/ research organisations who wish to enhance their skills in applied economic analysis.

Teaching of development economics to students from different disciplines has been a fascinating though challenging and difficult exercise. It has involved a careful choice of theory, application tools and Indian development issues. During the past three decades, the Programme has undergone systematic revisions in content and approach. Please visit the CDS Website, www.cds.edu for the detailed curriculum.

MPhil Programme has an annual intake of about 15 candidates. Two seats are available for officers deputed by the Government of Kerala. Journalists and postgraduates in journalism can utilize a fellowship of the Journalism Education Trust to undergo either the coursework or the full programme.
