In accordance with the above, Post Graduate Programme is well thought out mix of classroom study

and experiential/practical training. This is residential program of two years duration. The Program

involves learning through classroom sessions, discussions and exercises, project assignments with

organizations, and field based course specific project work. However, the emphasis of the entire

programme would be on self learning.

2.1 Class Room Pedagogy (From 09.00 am to Midnight)

The classroom sessions comprise of six terms spread across two academic years of study. The first

year (three terms) consists of a rigorous and intensive grounding in basic management functions.

These courses are compulsory in nature. During the second year (three terms), in addition to

certain compulsory courses, the student can opt for electives, based on their areas of interest.

TAXILA offers electives in the areas of Marketing, Finance, Systems, Operations, General

Management and Human Resource Management. The class room pedagogy ranges across

traditional class room instruction, simulations, case discussions, role plays, etc. Simulations and

case discussions are adopted extensively across the curriculum, to supplement class room

instruction/lecture. Simulations illustrate the complex interplay of variables and replicate real

situations, and the student can understand or decide on a course of action. Discussion of cases

based on business situations helps a student connect the theory that s/he is learning with practical

reality. S/he must understand situations, and may or may not have to decide on a course of action,

based on the information available. Thus, class room instruction, when supplemented with case

based discussions and simulations, helps the student in developing a deep and rich understanding

of business and management.

2.2 Fieldbased Experiential Learning

The curriculum places great emphasis on field based experiential learning. Learning in the class

room must be supplemented with field based learning, to result in an understanding that is

holistic, and connects theory with practice. The PGDM programme have many components that are

field-based, such as Management-in-Practice (MIP) for PGDM, Industry Internship (ININ), Outbound

Programme/ NGO Project, which are important and integral parts of our Program.

A) NGO Project:

Keeping in view Taxilas vision statement To create donors for the world an important component

of the programme that enhances field based experiential learning is the NGO Project. This is to

enable students to sensitize themselves to issues of social development and social development

management. Students work with Non-Government Organizations and undertake social and

community projects to gain an understanding of non-profit service organizations. More

importantly, by working with and contributing to the management of the NGOs, the students

develop additional perspectives with respect to role of business in society, which enhances their

decision taking capabilities.

Students need to spend 30 days during their first year in an NGO and identify specific project

to work on for the next two years with the guidance of a faculty member . This long duration work

would be considered as a Course of Independent Study (CIS) which would earn 2 credits for the

student. At the end of the project, students are required to meet all the requirements of a

CIS. The responsibility of identification of an NGO and securing meaningful project rests on the

student.

3.3 International Exchange Programs:

International Exchange Programs would enable our students to gain cross-cultural perspectives,

and help them relate with a global environment and work force. These are essential in todays

world, where they have to work in transnational companies, and may be required to be locatedanywhere in the world. Students would also appreciate how India is viewed as a business location

and a market opportunity, by people from other places.

4. SCHOLASTIC STANDARDS & EVALUATION

4.1 Scholastic Standards:

the programme to be eligible for the next stage. Students not fulfilling the minimum

commensmate with his/her performance.

less vulnerable grades would move towards the next Trimester

GPA for all the courses in the term.

(GPA and CGPA) will be instructed to withdraw immediately from the Post

Graduate Programme at that stage itself. Any student who has been asked to

like MIP, BusinessScan, Outbound programme, etc. Each component will have pre-assigned

credits. The design and evaluation methods for each such component will be announced in

advance by the respective faculty in-charge. The performance of a student in such components

will be as much a part of the minimum academic standards as explained above.

5.5 Fee for Duplicate Certificates, Transcripts etc.:

Students/Alumni who require duplicate certificates/transcripts need to apply formally to the

Chairperson-PGDM for the same. Fees are chargeable for this service. The fee applicable

8.3 General Integrity:

During the entire 2-year post-graduate programme at TAXILA, every student implicitly agrees

to abide by the rules, values and culture of the Institute. A student is an ambassador of the

student is found to have acted in a manner that is tantamount to cheating-whether another

individual or the Institute - such an act, without consideration of the quantum of monetary

value involved, will attract the severest punishment, which may include being asked to

withdraw from the program. This rule will cover all walks of life of a student during the 2-

year stay at TAXILA.

9. GENERAL BEHAVIOUR

fulfillment of eligibility supported by documents are genuine. This also includes their

examination prior to joining the Post Graduate program of TAXILA. However, if it comes

to be known that a student did not complete such formalities prior to joining the

Institute and / or has completed the same after joining the Institute without the

knowledge of the Chairperson-PGDM, it will be deemed that the student has committed amajor felony of misrepresenting the truth and the student shall be asked to withdraw

from the program.

9.2 Ragging is considered an offence. Any student indulging in such activity - be it in the

Institutes premises or hostels or outside-shall be considered having committed serious

breach of discipline and shall be asked to withdraw from the programme. Each student is

required submit an affidavit in the prescribed format at the time of joining. This is a

mandatory requirement.

10. DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURE

The PGDM Committee and/or the Disciplinary Committee shall be the authority for all matters

pertaining to student discipline. If the student is found guilty of the alleged misconduct

including hostel indiscipline, the PGDM Committee and/or the Disciplinary Committee

may impose a penalty appropriate to the nature and severity of the misconduct. As

mentioned In Para 7.1 and 7.2, dishonesty in any form irrespective of the magnitude of the

monetary value involved will result in the severest punishment. Such penalties shall

include (but not restricted to) imposition of fines, suspension from a course/term, being

asked to withdraw from the programme, etc.


16/27
