INDUSTRY BASED & SKILL BASED LEARNING SCHEME

Some of the students at NDIM get good job offers or venture into entrepreneurial journey 5-8 months before completion of their Two-year PGDM programme & some are picked up by the Industry immediately after their first year which is very laudable and is the outcome not only of the Institute’s quality of academic & industry rig our but also of the commitment and outstanding performance of students.

As per existing systems, students are evaluated for around 48 academic papers (compulsory + additional credit subjects) till the end of Semester-III without any credit or marks for qualifying the tough industry evaluation.

Additional marks & credits are given to the students for qualifying the evaluation by the industry in addition to the credits under the current system of examinations where credits/marks are not directly linked to the evaluation by the end-users. Award of credits based on Industry evaluation will make the PGDM program more meaningful and in tune with the policy directions of the Govt. of India, Ministry of HRD and the AICTE, who have been advocating the linkage of educational outcomes of degrees & diplomas to employability and entrepreneurship skills.

The direct evaluation by the end-user 3rd party recruiter is the greatest examination of students’ skill based PGDM learning and scores against this credited in a graded manner depending upon how soon a student qualifies the industry evaluations.

The details of the guidelines are mentioned in the Student Handbook and also circulated to students through email.
