The full form of PGPEM is Post Graduate Programme in Enterprise Management.

The PGPEM is a weekend programme, designed for working mid-level and senior executives with minimum of four years of work experience after graduation.

Launched in 1998, the programme is rigorous and scheduled on weekends to make it accessible to those who do not want to leave their jobs while pursuing a master’s degree.

The purpose of the programme is to complement the excellent functional knowledge and experience that participants possess with contemporary management knowledge, thereby preparing them to manage greater responsibilities in a liberalized and globalized economy. 

Students are provided a strong grounding in general management through the core courses in the first year and ample opportunity to acquire specialized knowledge through a rich choice of electives in the second year.  A unique feature of this programme is that students can choose not only from the electives that are offered by the PGPEM but also from the other degree-granting programmes at IIMB. 

The on-campus classes for the PGPEM are offered over the weekends, allowing students the opportunity to pursue a quality management programme without compromising on their fulltime jobs. The PGPEM also provides participants opportunities to go on full-term exchange programmes with IIMB’s international partner institutions.

The graduates of the PGPEM are part of the IIMB Alumni Association. IIMB has a global alumni network with chapters in all major cities in India and several major cities across the world. The alumni organize regular and special events, sometimes in collaboration with the pan-IIM network, to facilitate knowledge sharing and networking.
