Capstone Project (10 weeks) + Presentation + Placement Activities

Important to the PGDM program is the required field-based Capstone/consulting project. Students will be assigned to work with a company to assist in analyzing a “real world” business problem. In collaboration with team members from the company, students develop a problem statement, project scope, and timetable for sharing the results of their analysis and making recommendations to the company management. The Capstone Project provides an opportunity for students to integrate and apply the knowledge and management competencies they have gained in their PGDM program by engaging in a collaborative project with a business organization or firm. Students will research and analyze a key business issue or problem and recommend a solution to that problem in a format appropriate for presentation to the management of the company or organization. Through the Capstone Project, students develop critical skills and valuable contacts which will enhance their career opportunities. The Placement Cell will assist the students in finding a suitable assignment.

Guidelines For Summer Internship Programme and Capstone Project 

• There will be an external guide (from the organization where the student chooses to do the summer project) and a faculty guide from the Institute. The proposal of the study has to be approved by the internal as well as the external guide prior to the start of the project.
• The student must report the progress each fortnight, failing which the student may not be allowed to complete the project.
• On completion, the student will have to prepare a project dissertation and submit the same to the Academic Coordinator by a specific date. The report should have the attendance certificate and recommendation of satisfactory work from the external guide and faculty guide.
• Students will then present and defend their work before a designated panel on a pre-announced date failing which, the satisfactory completion certificate will not be issued.
• The satisfactory completion of the Capstone Project is an essential part of the PGDM programme. Students whose projects are declared “unsatisfactory” will have to REPEAT project work on a new topic.
