Mumbai|Ahmedabad: Indian Institute of Management
Ahmedabad (IIM-A) has decided to hike the fees for the second
batch of the one year Post Graduate Programme in Public
Management and Policy (PGP-PMP) from Rs 9 lakh to Rs 12
lakh for non-sponsored candidates and for the students sponsored
by the Department of Personnel and Training from Rs 7.5
lakh to around Rs 9 lakh.
The institute has also announced opening its course to candidates
with legislative and/or ministerial experience for the batch
of 2008-09.
The institute is hoping to attract candidates who are at
least 27 years old and have one or more years of experience
as a minister at the central level or as a member of Parliament
or two or more years of experience as a minister at the
state level or as a member of state assembly or have served
local bodies for five or more years.
For the first batch of the programme, the institute had
received 300 applications from which 33 participants have
been selected. 12 of them are sponsored by various government
departments, while 21 are non-sponsored participants.
The average age of these participants is 36 years and their
average work experience is 12 years. The list includes four
IAS officers, one IRS officer, three from the Railways,
one from defence and others from NGOs and banks.
Since the placements for the first batch would take place
in March 2008, IIM-A will decided student intake, electives
and other changes for the next batch depending on the response
from recruiters to the first batch.
The programme retains essentials of the institute’s
executive management programme and is targeted at those
who are looking to take on senior management positions in
public management and policy.
Apart from core management courses, the programme offers
various electives leading to specialisation in specific
areas such as financial regulation, infrastructure development,
management of international organisations, public enterprise
management, and technology
The participants of this programme will also be going abroad
on an international exchange for 7-8 weeks to international
universities including University of Geneva, University
of Texas at Austin, Georgetown University and Carnegie Mellon
University. |
