PROGRAMME ARCHITECTURE
Strong Foundations, Sharp Focus
The flagship programme of SPJIMR comprises courses which are benchmarked
against leading global B-schools.
The programme starts with a foundation module followed by four semesters
spread over two academic years.
Year 1
The first year curriculum aims at strengthening fundamentals in all areas of
functional management and provides a holistic perspective of general
management.
The programme commences with pre-MBA study material sent to students
even before they arrive on campus. On arrival, all participants go through four
weeks of the foundation module to ensure that they attain the same level of
understanding on the basic issues and concepts related to management.
This is followed by two semesters constituting around 500 classroom sessions
(each of 70 minutes duration), ensuring a through grounding in fundamentals.
The students also develop managerial traits through various beyond-theclassroom learning initiatives and real-life projects and internships.
Year 2
The second year provides inputs in the chosen area of specialisation and is
customised to the career focus of students and industry requirements. The two
semesters in the second year consist of around 360 classroom sessions geared
towards an in-depth understanding of their respective fields of specialisation.
The students undertake eight-week corporate projects with our industry
partners during the second year.
