Objective: To empower budding managers with the ability to play a meaningful role in the information economy.

The proliferation of IT in every sphere of life inspired IIMC to introduce this unique programme (globally Known as Techno MBA) as early as in 1994. Since its inception, PGDCM programme has been highly appreciated by the industry, which is reflected by its tremendous success in placement both in terms of type of job offers, domestic and international, in different sectors of business, and the compensation package they could command. The programme has been constantly update keeping in tune with the changes in the technologies. Students in this programme are given input in general management areas such as finance marketing strategy economics organizational behavior, human resource management, business environment and operations management. Significant inputs in IT/IS (Information System) areas and in applications of IT in different functional areas are provided along with fundamental concepts in quantitative methods. This develops the capability among students to apply IT in Business and industry as well as in the social sector to achieve strategic goals. This also prepares students to act as consultants in both general management consulting firms and the IT services industry. It can also help the interested student develop or entrepreneur in their initial stage of growth (e.g., they can be thought leaders in knowledge process outsourcing businesses, telecommunication businesses). These would-be managers will be an important driving force behind the world-wide transition towards the emerging knowledge economy.
