The programme covers the following sphere of learning: (a) understanding different domains of organizations and related functional areas of management; (b) understanding the role of ICT in Management; (c) understanding of ICT-enabled enterprise systems; and (d) understanding tools and methodologies of business analytics with the aim of using data creatively for better decision making.

Curriculum for PGDCM
