However, Prof. Seshasayee is quick to add that most of the recruiters, especially the MNCs, don’t differentiate between MBA and PGDM and a lot depends on one’s individual merits. “All the awards of PGDM from AICTE recognized institutes are equivalent to a master’s degree offered by the Universities,” he explains. “It also means that after you have completed your PGDM you can pursue further education including PhD in India and abroad. A lot of your career prospects depend on the institute you have got your degree from.”
Prof. Seshasayee believes that it’s not just the curriculum, teaching pedagogy and strategies employed at KIAMS that makes their program stand out from the rest. The noted B School believes in imbibing communication skills amongst students and building their personalities, as well. Prof. Seshasayee illustrates this with an explanation of the curriculum: “The curriculum is designed to mould the management students into a fine blend of industry and market-ready personalities. They are subjected to academic rigor and vigorous training while the option of choosing additional elective courses enhances their complete learning experience.”
The PGDM offered by KIAMS is a two-year fully residential program, which has its own advantages, according to Prof. Seshasayee: “A fully residential program will save you a lot of time and they will be immersed in a diverse environment that will also give them a sense of competitive world. As students learn on lush campuses in serene environment, they gain a sense of independence and boost their social skills as well. Moreover they will have access to campus facilities all through the day.” Prof. Seshasayee has a lot to say regarding this debate. And, due to his impressive credentials and experience, future candidates would be wise to listen to him as he explains what lies ahead for them as they pursue their education.
