I) Course and Curriculum

The academic session of IMT Ghaziabad for the batch of 2015 is divided into 7 terms.

Term 1 to 3 are common for everyone. Students have to study the same subjects and work on

projects.

Term 4 is only for the students who choose not to go on the foreign exchange program. For those

who go to international universities, attend a term there, and their respective grade is adjusted as

per certain algorithms so that the entire school is graded uniformly.

Term 5 is only for those students who are not on LSIP (Long Summer Internship Programme). LSIP is

company specific and entirely depends on the projects and requirements of the companies that

come for summer placements drive to the campus. LSIP in totality may be for five or six months. The

students who are on SIP (not LSIP) attend the fifth term in college which includes 7 electives and 2

core subjects. The details for the subjects will be shared following the introduction.

Term 6 is for everybody. Again, 7 electives and 2 core subjects are to be taken up.

Term 7 is for the students who were on LSIP. They study the two core subjects from Term 5 (that

they had missed). Term 7 is also for those students who had selected certain electives (Out of the

total 14 electives). The reasons may be either pre-defined or ad-hoc (faculty availability, batch

strength for that elective etc.)

Term 2 is the term during which the Summer Internship Placement Drive takes place. Similarly,

Term 6 is the term during which the Final Placement Drives takes place. Both these drives are

rolling processes that may carry on till subsequent terms, till the batch is placed.

8/12/2019 FAQ_29 April 2014 (1)


Emerging Technologies and New Opportunities

The fourth terms consists of four subjects, each for three credits. Apart from these, there are also

credits for Workshops and Simulation events.

Students then select their electives for the next year (Term 5, 6 and 7) in the fourth term by an

online application that is accessible in the college computer labs. People on Exchange Programs and

DCP choose their respective electives via e-mail.

The electives for Term 5 and 6 are as below:

The first text column is for the Track: Sales, Marketing and Business Development (Marketing)

The second text column is for the Track: Finance & Banking (Finance)

The third text column is for the Track: People & Processes (HR)

The fourth text column is for the Track: Solutions & Consulting (IT)

The fifth text column is for the Track: Strategic Management

A student has to select 7 electives for each term (5 and 6). Out of these, 4 must be from only one

track – that becomes the specialization track for the student. The rest 3 can be all from the same or

different track(s). Again, for the 7 electives in the next term (Term 6), the 4 must be from the

8/12/2019 FAQ_29 April 2014 (1)


specialization track of the student, whereas the other 3 may or may not be from the same track (but

the specialization track). To understand this, consider the example:

Let the specialization track for the student be denoted by A. The subjects under this track will

become A1, A2, and so on.

Let other tracks be B, C, D, and E.

Now, for Term 5:

The student has to choose A1, A2, A3, and A4 – as the four electives (of the specialization).

The other three electives could be either

B1, B2, B3 or

B1, C1, D1 or

B1, B2, C1 and likewise.

For Term 6:

The student has to choose A5, A6, A7, and A8 as the four electives (of the specialization).

The other three electives could be either

B4, B5, B6 or

B4, C4, D4 or

B4, B5, C4 and likewise.

If a student has a combination of (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and B6) as their

electives and a company comes offering students for a profile that it opens for only B, then the

student won’t be eligible for that company.
