Post Graduate Programme in Management [PGPM]
Eligibility
PGPM at ISB Mohali is open to candidates who hold a recognised graduate degree in any discipline and generally carry some prior work experience, since the programme is pitched at people looking to build on an existing career rather than start one from a first degree alone. Admission is based on the institute's overall evaluation of an applicant's academic record, professional background and performance in whatever assessment ISB uses for the intake, rather than on a single fixed percentage. The precise eligibility bar, the weight given to work experience and any qualifying assessment are decided and published by ISB itself for each admission cycle and are subject to change year on year. Applicants should rely on the current official ISB notification for the exact requirements rather than any older summary.
About Post Graduate Programme in Management [PGPM]
PGPM, the Post Graduate Programme in Management at the Indian School of Business in Mohali, Punjab, is a full time residential programme built for candidates at the early to middle stage of their careers who want a broad, structured foundation in management before moving into or advancing within a leadership track. The curriculum is organised around the standard pillars of a general management education, including strategy, finance, marketing, operations and organisational behaviour, with case based teaching and project work that pushes participants to apply concepts to real business situations rather than absorb them in the abstract. Being full time and on campus, the programme expects participants to step away from active employment for its duration and immerse themselves in coursework, group work and the wider cohort life that comes with a residential batch on the Mohali campus. It is aimed at people who already have some working experience behind them and are looking to convert that into a more formal, broad based management capability, rather than candidates entering the workforce for the first time. Class discussion and peer learning form a significant part of how the programme is delivered, since a cohort drawn from varied professional backgrounds brings different problems and perspectives into the same room. On the admissions side, the sanctioned intake for the programme is fixed as a total and then split across the reserved and general categories the institute follows, and that category wise seat matrix is published by ISB in its own admission notice for the batch rather than reproduced here, because the matrix is redrawn for every fresh admission cycle.
