IMT Hyderabad’s PGDM programs address the varied aspirations of students through offering electives. It follows a cafeteria approach wherein a student has the flexibility in choosing electives. A student who wants to specialize in a particular stream has to choose minimum five electives in that stream. For the remaining five, the student can choose any electives as per his/her choice from any stream. An elective course will be offered if a minimum of 15 students opt for it.

In order to achieve holistic learning, IMT Hyderabad offers Integrative Courses. The purpose of integrative courses is to provide the necessary breadth to the learning experience. These courses are also in sync with our philosophy of understanding all facets of business and give students an opportunity to improve their knowledge of the business environment. A student will have a flexibility to choose one Integrative Elective each in Terms V and VI in the second year to suit their career aspirations from the given list of courses.

The Management Project (MP) is another unique feature in IMT Hyderabad curriculum which has been included to ensure practice oriented learning. It spreads over two terms of the second year and carries a total of six credits. The objective of MP is to facilitate the process of attaining a higher level of knowledge and expertise in the field of study chosen by the students. It will help the students to integrate the learning in multiple areas and address a comprehensive question of relevance to the management discipline. This also inculcates the art of conducting independent inquiry and evaluation which is useful both in industry and for later academic pursuits. The project would be based on a real-time business issue, preferably as a continuation of the Internship Program work.
