At Kirloskar Institute of Management (KIM), students can get admission into the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) program. This is a two-year full-time course for those who want to grow in Business and Management careers. The program combines theory with practice. Students learn through projects, internships and case studies, giving them real-world experience of working in a company.
The PGDM program is offered in five specialisations, such as Marketing, Finance, Operations, Human Resources, and Business Analytics. Along with these, students can also pick special areas to match their career goals. The program is approved by AICTE and follows the latest industry needs. By the end of the course, students are trained to become confident managers and problem-solvers, ready to take up leadership roles in companies.
To pursue the PGDM program, students must have completed a bachelor’s degree in any stream from a recognised university. The degree can be of 3 years (10+2+3) or 4 years (10+2+4). A minimum of 50% marks is required. Final-year students can also apply. Applicants should also have appeared in one of the following entrance exams, such as CAT, XAT, CMAT, GMAT, MAT, ATMA, or MH-CET. The total fee for the PGDM program is INR 12,60,000, including a refundable security deposit of INR 10,000.

KIM offers a two-year PGDM program in five specialisations: Finance, Operations, Human Resources, Business Analytics, and Marketing. Students can choose the specialisation based on their interests and career goals. The total fee for the PGDM program is INR 12,60,000.
What makes this program unique is that learning goes beyond the classroom through the Business Immersion (BI) program. After completing their 3rd term, students of KIM take part in a two-month Business Immersion program where they work with different companies. This is an important part of the course.
During these two months, students learn by experiencing how businesses work. They are given real tasks and responsibilities, which help them understand workplace systems, deadlines, and professional expectations. Along with gaining technical knowledge, they also develop soft skills like teamwork, problem-solving, and effective communication.
The program is well-managed by many people, including the Director, Dean, BI Faculty Coordinator, Placement Team, and Student Representatives. Teachers and company mentors also guide the students closely so that they complete their BI successfully and gain real work experience.
