Thiagarajar School of Management

You can choose only one specialization. PGDM Programme: I Year
The first year seeks to build the foundation through a rigorous set of core courses on all major functions
such as Marketing, Finance, Operations and Human Resources Management and disciplines such as
Economics and Organizational Behaviour. A broad perspective of the industrial environment is presented,
and a sound foundation is laid for advanced and more specialized learning in the second year. The
scheduling of various courses through the 3 trimesters is done balancing academic logic and the learning
difficulties from the student perspective.
At the end of the first year, students are required to undergo internship of 6-8 weeks duration in an
organization working on a project relating to any functional area. The objective is to help students gain
insights into the actual working of an organization, its structure, systems and processes and apply some of
the tools and techniques learned in solving real world problems in an organizational setting.
PGDM Programme: II Year
TSM endeavours to offer a bouquet of electives currently permitting specialization in the areas of Finance,
Marketing, Operations, Analytics, and Human Resources Management. The elective courses focus on
applications of tools and techniques in a variety of managerial situations and seek to offer sharper insights
and broader perspectives in the areas of specialization.
