Course Design
The design of curriculum is an important aspect of ensuring relevant and updated content delivery to the participants. To ensure that the program helps the participants in conceiving, planning, implementing, and evaluating e-governance projects in both Government as well as private sectors, the course content focuses on three aspects: (a) domain knowledge of related and relevant fields (b) hands on project experience and (c) interaction with experts and field visits. The course design therefore is a judicious mix of management, technical, and governance concepts complemented with a significant internship module. While Terms I and II cover basic and advanced level courses in management, technology, administration, and governance, Term III comprises of elective courses that participants can choose from a portfolio of courses. These elective courses are offered in view of the participants’ needs and the industry feedback collected apriori.
