INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT INDORE

Post Graduate Programme in Management, 2010-11

A. INTRODUCTION

This Manual provides a brief description of the Post Graduate Programme (PGP) in Management at IIM Indore and lays down the norms governing its design and administration. All participants are required to be conversant of these norms. The Institute reserves the right to change these norms any time without notice.

1. PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES The Post Graduate Programme (PGP) in Management at IIM Indore is a two-year, full-time, residential programme. The programme aims to groom participants into competent professional managers with

· a capacity to learn and adapt to national and international environment; · an orientation towards achieving excellence, maintaining high ethical standards; and · a capacity to work effectively and efficiently, both individually and in groups.

The Post Graduate Programme in Management is spread over two years, each year consisting of three terms. While transiting from the first to the second year, the participant spends eight weeks on a summer project in a business organisation. The academic year begins in June/July and ends in March/April of the following year.

2. SPECIAL FEATURES OF PGP at IIMI The PGP of IIM Indore has some special features like:

· International Focus, · Information Technology Orientation, and · Social Sensitivity

2.1. International Focus Globalisation of business is one of the most important areas of change in management today. In this scenario, managers, irrespective of whether they are working in India or abroad, cannot do without adequate understanding of international business. IIM Indore has introduced international aspects of management in all the relevant courses of the curriculum right from the first year. In addition, in the second year, participants can choose several elective courses having an international focus such as International Marketing, International Finance, International Business, and Multinational and Transnational Management.

2.2. Information Technology (IT) Orientation To meet the pace of change brought about by new technologies, which have a significant effect on the way people live and work worldwide, IIM Indore equips its students with the tools and knowledge of new and emerging technologies. We believe that information technology, while an important area of study in its own right, is having a major impact across all curriculum areas. Easy global communication provides instant access to a vast array of data, challenging assimilation and assessment skills. Rapid communication, coupled with increased access to IT is

a lifelong activity in which the pace of technological changes forces constant evaluation of the learning process itself.

IIM Indore uses multi-technologies such as multimedia system, LAN and the World Wide Web. We use IT supported education technology for better delivery of education, easier access to a number of knowledge resources, and sharing through networks.

2.3. Social Sensitivity Another unique feature of the PGP at IIM Indore is a compulsory course called Society, Business and Management which exposes the participants to the ethical dilemmas and social responsibilities of business through classroom sessions and develops their social sensitivity through a one-week attachment with an NGO or the CSR wing of a business organisation.

3. ACADEMIC CALENDAR The Academic calendar for the first and second years of PGP is given on the back cover of the handbook.

4. PEDAGOGY IIM Indore uses a combination of various teaching methods such as cases, projects, independent studies, computer aided instructions, group discussions, lectures, seminars, presentations by participants, and lectures by guest speakers from industry and government. The case method is the predominant pedagogical tool. This sharpens the analytical skills of participants and helps analyse problems from multi-functional perspectives. Instructors mainly guide the group, encourage participants to develop and defend arguments, and take decisions.

5. COURSES Academic input is delivered through two types of courses: core courses and elective courses. Core courses are compulsory for all participants and constitute around 62% of the total curriculum. They provide participants with the fundamental conceptual knowledge, analytical skills and techniques, contextual understanding, environmental awareness and overall perspective that will serve as the bedrock for the programme. The elective courses offered in the second year, give participants a deeper understanding of different functional areas and enable them to specialize in areas of their choice. In addition, a course of independent study (CIS) allows a participant to undertake detailed exploration of narrowly defined areas/topics under faculty guidance. The detailed guidelines for CIS are available with the PGP Office.

6. CREDITS The concept of credit is used to compute the workload of a course. As a general rule, a four-credit course requires a commitment of about 100 hours from the participant of which is 25 hours are to be spent in the classroom (usually 20 sessions of 75 minutes each) and the balance to be utilised for preparation and assignments. The courses are of one, two, three or four-credits.

ONE CREDIT COURSE A one-credit course has 5 sessions and is conducted through workshops. It has one component of evaluation. Participants may take up to a maximum of 3 one-credit courses per-student per year. Participants will be declared as PASS/FAIL in these courses on the basis of their

performance and these results are not included in the computation of CGPA or for meeting the requirements of award of the Diploma. The grade sheet lists these one-credit courses with a pass/fail mark.

AUDIT COURSE It is possible for a participant to audit an elective course with the permission of the course instructor. An audit course is one where the participant does not get any credits for taking the course even though he is subjected to the same evaluation procedure as regular participants of that course. Participants will be declared as PASS/FAIL in these courses on the basis of their performance and these results are not included in the computation of CGPA or for meeting the requirements of award of the Diploma. The grade sheet, however, lists the audit course with a pass/fail mark. The concept of audit course is for the benefit of those participants who are keen to study a course but still would like to use their credit limits for other courses.

Non-credit Course Non-credit courses are offered to the participants to enhance their learning in a particular area. A non-credit course is one where the participant does not get any credits for taking the course even though he is subject to an evaluation procedure. Participants will be declared as PASS/FAIL in these courses on the basis of their performance and these results are not included in the computation of CGPA or for meeting the requirements of award of the diploma. the grade sheet, however, lists the non-credit courses with a pass/fail mark.

7. CREDIT LOAD Batch 2010-2012 A first-year participant from the Batch 2010-2012 has to satisfactorily complete 88 credits of core courses spread over Terms I, II and III. A second-year participant is allowed to take a minimum of 60 and a maximum of 64 credits, subject to the following term-wise restrictions:

Credits Term IV Term V Term VI Total

Minimum 12 12 12 60

Maximum 24 24 24 64

A participant, who would choose an elective course mix of 60 credits, is allowed to take a maximum of eight-credits worth of audit courses in the second year with not more than four credits in a term. Similarly, a participant, who would choose an elective course mix of more than 60 credits, is allowed to take a maximum of twelve-credits worth of audit courses in the second year with not more than four credits in a term.

A list of first year courses for the Academic Year 2010-2011 is given in Appendix 1. Brief descriptions of core courses are on the intranet

Batch 2009-2011

A first-year participant from the Batch 2009-2011 has to satisfactorily complete 86 credits of core courses spread over Terms I, II and III. A second-year participant is allowed to take a minimum of 58 and a maximum of 62 credits of elective courses in addition to 2 credits of core courses (which are offered in Term IV), subject to the following term-wise restrictions:

Credits Term IV Term V Term VI Total

Minimum 12* 12 12 60*

Maximum 24* 24 24 64*

* Including 2 credits of core courses

A participant, who would choose an elective course mix of 58 credits, is allowed to take a maximum of eight-credits worth of audit courses in the second year with not more than four credits in a term.

A list of the first year courses for the Academic Year 2010-2011 is given in Appendix 2. Brief descriptions of core courses are on the intranet

http://192.168.1.252/office/pgp/AY%202010-11/PGP%202%20Elective% 20course%20AY%

A list of the second year term IV courses for the Academic Year 2009-10 is given in Appendix 3.

8. INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE PROGRAMME Participants have the option of studying in a reputed partner-institution abroad during Term V, provided they satisfy the selection criteria. First year PGP participants, who are interested in International Students Exchange Programme (ISEP) will register during the second term when the PGP Office announces the date for registration.

Grade Conversion Credits covered outside IIM Indore (courses approved by the PGP EC, IIMI) will be transferred on hourly basis, as shown below:

Classroom Hours Credit

Full course at IIMI 25 4

Full course at other B-School 24 5

Conversion rate = 4 * 24/25 Cr.

Credit Requirement The participant under ISEP will balance their remaining credit load in 4th and 6th terms and If the credit load comes in decimal point (e.g. 49.2) then participant will take additional credit load to cover at least minimum required credit load as per the requirement of the programme. The grading system at the exchange institute will be the criteria for having passed or failed in that term.

Attendance Participants going on the exchange programme are required to attend at least 75% of the classes at the host institute. Participants will produce a certificate of attendance for the host business school.

Act as Ambassadors of the Institute It is imperative that participants going on the exchange programme act as ambassadors of the Institute (IIMI). They must conduct themselves in a responsible and dignified manner while studying at the university abroad.

Incorporation of Grades Grades earned at other B-Schools during exchange programme will not be incorporated in the second year/final grade sheet, and will be mentioned separately. In case “F” grade is obtained in any course, participant will be allowed to take equivalent credit load in the sixth term to fulfil minimum requirement. The CGPA earned in IIM Indore only will be counted to decide gold medals / scholarships or any other academic award.

B. PROGRAMME ADMINISTRATION

9. PGP COMMITTEE PGP Committee is the policy making body of the Post Graduate Programme. It consists of all the faculty members and is headed by Chair, PGP.

10. PGP EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE PGP Executive Committee is the sub-committee of PGP Committee and is responsible for all operational matters of PGP, under the overall policy framework provided by the PGP Committee. It consists of ex-officio members and faculty members nominated by the Director and is headed by Chair-PGP.

11. REGISTRATION All participants are required to register on the notified registration day or the first day of each term unless permitted by the PGP Chairperson to register later.

A participant who fails to register on the specified dates will be deemed to have left the programme, and would be allowed to register only after he/she has obtained permission from the PGP Chairperson who will charge a late registration fee which in no case will be less than Rs.5000/- (Rupees five thousand only).

In addition to the late registration fee, late payment fees of Rs.100/- per day will be levied in case the payments are not made on time.

12. FEES & PAYMENT SCHEDULES

1. The details of fees payable by each participant are given in Appendix 4 & 5. Payment of fees for each term has to be made by the participants at the beginning of the term on the day of registration.

2. Term fees will have to be paid on the due date.

3. Those who fail to clear all their dues in a particular term will not be permitted to register for the next term.

4. The results of the first year PGP participants who fail to clear all the dues (including the late fees) by middle of March of the academic year will be withheld and a late fee @ Rs.100/- per day will be charged until the payments are made. Those who fail to clear all the dues along with the late fees by the date of registration of the second year will not be permitted to register for the second year of the programme.

5. The Diploma of the second year participants who fail to clear all dues (including the late fees) by end of February of the academic year will be withheld and the late fee @ Rs.100/- per day will be levied, until the payments are made.

6. No refund will be allowed on tuition fee for any term in which the participant has been registered. The fee for Hostel would be waived for participants going on the International Students Exchange Programme (ISEP) during Term V provided they vacate their hostel room. On request, if available, a room for keeping luggage will be provided in the Hostel.

13. REGISTRATION FOR ELECTIVE COURSES

FOR BATCH 2009-2011

The process of registration for elective courses for Terms V & VI:

1. Terms V & VI elective details would be placed on the dataserver . Participants must submit their elective forms, in hard copy, to the PGP Office on or before within 2 weeks of notification of the courses.

2. The minimum number of registrations for an elective to be floated is 25 participants. For courses being offered for the first time by internal faculty the minimum required registration would be 10 participants.

3. The PGP Office will drop courses receiving less than 25 registrations. The list of dropped courses will be informed to the instructors and participants by the end of July 2010.

4. The registrants of such dropped courses will register for other courses to make up for the deficit in the credits they originally registered for by 23rd July. Thereafter, the registrations will become final and participants will not be allowed to change their preferences.

5. Participants are allowed to change two electives one month (irrespective of the credit worth of the courses) before the start of Term VI. The change has to be within the courses offered in the term only. If due to this option, the registration in any course drops below the stipulated minimum number of participants, the course may still be offered.

6. The timetable would be framed based on the mutual convenience of the faculty and participants. A few courses in each term may have to be scheduled simultaneously. Should this need arise, courses with the least number of common registrations will be dropped and participants in such courses would be required to register for a substitute course.

7. When the number of courses announced is very high, the PGP Office may develop a timetable before the registration. In such a case, participants must register for courses that do not have overlapping schedule.

FOR BATCH 20010-2012

Registration for batch 2010-2012 will be intimated separately.

14. ATTENDANCE

1. The Institute insists on regular and prompt attendance in classes.

2. PGP Office will keep a record of attendance in all courses. The course instructor will check attendance either by roll call or by having the participants affix their full signature (not mere initials) on the attendance sheet.

3. Marking proxy attendance for others or having attendance marked by others will invite disciplinary action.

4. Name-boards would be provided on the desks of the participants in all core courses to facilitate easy identification of participants. The attendance sheets for the core courses will also list the names row-wise as per the seating chart.

5. Participants are expected to attend all the sessions of a given course. However, absence on account of emergencies, participation in a management festival or co-curricular activity may be permitted leave of absence, duly approved by competent authority/ Chair PGP as under:

Penalty Norm 4 Credit courses 2 & 3 Credit courses 20 sessions 10 and 15 sessions

No penalty Up to 4 sessions Up to 2 sessions One letter grade cut 5 & 6 sessions 3 & 4 sessions (1.00 GPA cut) Award of permanent 7 sessions 5 session 'F' Grade and above onwards

6. Prior permission is required to obtain leave. Leave application should be made in the prescribed format (yellow form), available in the PGP Office.

7. With effect from this academic year, participants would not be permitted to take leave during the last two sessions of a course. In case two instructors teach a course, participants would not be permitted to take leave during the last session taught by each of the instructors. This is irrespective of the course credits. Taking leave during the last two sessions, when a course is taught by one instructor and the last sessions when two instructors teach the course would result in the leave being treated as “unauthorised leave” resulting in a grade cut. Waiver would be considered only for cases of hospitalisation, in Indore, as recommended by the Institute's Medical Officer.

8. In case of illness, PGP Office should be informed by e-mail. Formal application should be made within 2 days of returning from leave.

9. Failure to submit the leave application within 2 days would result in being marked as unauthorised absence.

10. If a participant is absent without prior permission and if satisfactory explanation is not obtained, unauthorised absence will be assigned to the session for which the participant was not present.

11. For each unauthorised absence a grade cut of 0.5 will be imposed. If unauthorised absence exceeds 4 sessions in any course, permanent “F” grade will be awarded.

12. For a participant hospitalised in Indore on the advise of the Institute's doctor a grade cut waiver may be considered on case by case basis.

13. Grade cut on account of participants attending competitions in the approved list of institutes will be considered for waiver on case-by-case basis.

14. If participants are leaving the campus, they will have to take prior permission from the PGP Office. Leaving campus without authorization will attract disciplinary action.

15. In the case of participants whose absence in a course is more than what is specified above for whatever reason, the PGP Office shall automatically award a permanent 'F' to the concerned participant in that course and inform the concerned course instructor accordingly. This 'F' replaces whatever grade the course instructor might have awarded to the participant on the basis of various components of evaluation.

16. The penalties awarded under (5) above are final and are not appealable.

17. The above rules will override any individual course specific rules for attendance set by the course instructor.

15. MISSED QUIZZES AND EXAMINATIONS

If a participant, whose approved absence in a course is less than 7 sessions for a 4-credit course, less than 5 sessions for a 2-credit or 3-credit course, misses any quiz, mid-term and/or end-term examination or other components of evaluation, the concerned course instructor has the discretion either to award an “F” for the missed component or to conduct a make-up examination or give a make-up assignment with or without a cut in the grade so obtained or extrapolate the grades obtained in other components to the missed component. The decision of the instructor in this regard will be final.

16. EVALUATION PROCEDURE 16.1. Grading of Individual Courses 1. Course instructors may use different components of evaluation like

· Class participation; · Quiz (announced or unannounced); · Take home assignments/ tutorials · Project assignments; · Individual / Group Presentations · Oral examination;

· Mid term examination; and · End term examination.

2. Courses of two credits will have at least two components of evaluation while courses of more than two credits will have at least three components. The weightage of any one component will not be more than 50%. Individual evaluation (as against group evaluation) components will constitute at least 60%. Mid-term and end-term examinations, if any, will have a minimum weightage of 20% and 30% respectively. A course instructor may decide, with the approval of the Area, not to have any written component of evaluation.

3. Shorter duration quizzes will be conducted by the course instructor during class hours. Longer duration quizzes and mid-term/end-term examinations will be conducted by the PGP Office at pre-announced timings.

4. A five-point scale will be used for evaluating participants in individual courses.

Grade A B C D F I

DescriptionExcellentGoodSatisfactoryLow Pass Fail Incomplete (Final Grade Pending)

5. For each component of evaluation, generally marks are first awarded which are next converted into letter grades with the instructor deciding the range of marks for each letter grade. The component-wise letter grades are then converted into numerical values (up to four decimal points) by using the Grade Conversion Table given in Appendix 1.

The values, so obtained by a participant in various components of evaluation in a course, would be added and the sum would be divided by 3 to obtain the final course grade points which will then be converted into a final letter grade for the entire course by using the following conversion table:

Grade 3.55 to 2.55 to 1.55 to 0.55 to 0.00 to Point 4.33 3.54 2.54 1.54 0.54

Grade A B C D F

6. The instructor should specify the grading plan in the course outline. Course coordinators should ensure that the components of evaluation, the weights attached to them and the grading plan for a course taught by different instructors in different sections are identical.

7. Normalization grading pattern would be adopted i.e. 'A' grade and 'D&F' grade would be assigned from 0 to 15 percent depending on whether it is an individual or group component and 'B' grade and 'C' grade would be from 30 to 50 percent.

8. If a participant has not fulfilled the academic requirements of a course, he/she may be assigned “I” (Incomplete) grade temporarily, representing non-completion of the academic requirements of the course. First year PGP participants must complete any such incomplete course work before they proceed for their summer assignment. In case of a second year participant, such incomplete course work of a particular academic term should be completed within the course of the following term. A sixth term “I” has to be completed

well in time to graduate. If for any reason, the participant fails to complete the course within the time stipulated by the course instructor and/or the PGP Office, then the “I” grade would be automatically converted into an “F” grade.

9. If a participant misses one or more components of evaluation with prior permission, the following procedure will be followed: · Initially, the participant will be awarded “I” (incomplete) grade. “I” is a temporary

grade, not intended to be shown as a final grade in a course. · When the participant completes the make-up requirements as specified by the course

instructor within the specified time, “I” will be replaced by the final grade (A, B, C, D, F) awarded for that component by the instructor.

· In case the participant fails to complete the make-up requirements as indicated in (b) above, the instructor will give an “F” for the missed component(s) of evaluation.

· In any case, the decision of the instructor to provide a make up component of evaluation or not is final.

6. The grades given by an instructor in any component of evaluation are final. The instructor will not be called upon to justify the grades as long as they conform to the norms. A student, who desires clarification on the grade/s awarded, may discuss the matter with the concerned instructor/s within 4 days after receiving the grades. If any grievance regarding grading is not resolved through discussion with the instructor or if the instructor is not available in station, the concerned participant may refer the matter to the PGP Chairperson in writing within 2 days thereafter, who will then discuss the matter with the course faculty, if required.

16.2. Grade Point Average (GPA)

GPA for a term is the weighted average of the grade points obtained in the courses registered for by a participant in that term, the weights being the respective course credits.

16.3. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)

CGPA, as at the end of a term/year, is the weighted average of the grade points obtained in all the courses registered for by a participant up to and including that term/year, the weights being the respective course credits.

16.4. Deficit Credit Points (DCPs)

Grades “D” and “F” will carry DCPs as follows:

· A "D" will carry one DCP in a one-credit course, two DCPs in a two-credit course, three DCPs in a three-credit course, four DCPs in a four-credit course and so on.

· An "F" will carry two DCPs in a one-credit course, four DCPs in a two-credit course, six DCPs in a three-credit course, eight DCPs in a four-credit course and so on.

· Total number of DCPs will be calculated by adding the number of DCPs accumulated by obtaining both "D"s & "F"s during the academic year.

17. COMMUNICATION OF GRADES

1. Course instructors are required to communicate:

· to participants the marks obtained in quizzes as soon after the event as possible but not beyond two weeks;

· to participants and PGP Office the marks/grades for the mid-term and end-term examinations as soon as possible, but in not more than five weeks from the date of the examination; and

· to the PGP Office, within five weeks of the end of the term, the final course grades. 2. Instructors may communicate the component-wise marks directly to participants, while the

final course grade is communicated to the participants by the PGP Office. 3. The PGP Office will communicate to participants their final letter grades in various courses

along with GPA and CGPA. 18. CRITERIA FOR PROMOTION AND AWARD OF DIPLOMA CGPA and Deficit Credit Points (DCP) will be the two criteria that will be used (i) to promote a participant from first year to second year and (ii) to award the Diploma to the second year participant.

18.1. Criteria for Promotion 1. A first-year participant will qualify for promotion to the second year if he/she satisfies the

following two criteria: · He/She should have CGPA of at least 2.0 at the end of the first year. · He/She should not have accumulated more than twelve DCPs at the end of the first

year. 2. A participant, who does not satisfy either one or both of the criteria mentioned in 1 above,

shall be given the option of repeating the first year of the programme or withdrawing from the programme.

3. However, a participant, who is repeating the first year of the programme, will have to compulsorily withdraw from the programme if he/she fails to satisfy the criteria in 17.1.

18.2. Criteria for Award of Diploma 1. A second-year participant, who has satisfactorily completed the summer project, will

qualify for the award of the Diploma if he/she satisfies the following two criteria: · He/She should have CGPA of at least 2.0 at the end of the second year. · He/She should not have accumulated more than ten DCPs at the end of second year.

2. A participant, who does not satisfy either one or both these criteria and who has not already repeated the first year, will be given an opportunity to make up for the shortfall in CGPA and/or DCPs either by repeating the course(s) in which he/she has obtained a D or F or by choosing a new elective course offered in Term IV of the next academic year. As and when such a participant makes up the shortfall in CGPA and/or DCPs by successfully completing the required number of course credits, the PGP Office would issue a Provisional Certificate. The Diploma would be awarded to him/her at the Institute's next Annual Convocation.

3. A participant, who does not satisfy either one or both of the criteria mentioned in 1 above and who has already repeated the first year, will be asked to withdraw from the programme.

19. SCHOLARSHIPS & AWARDS To promote excellence in management education and instil competitive spirit among the participants, the institute offers a number of merit-based scholarships and awards. Most of the scholarships are awarded in the second year of the programme.

19.1. Industry-Sponsored Merit Scholarships These scholarships are awarded in the second year of the programme to the top academic performers during their first year of the programme. Currently, the following scholarships are available:
