About the Institute 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. ABOUT THE INSTITUTE IMT-Nagpur has been conceptualized as a center for managerial excellence and an institution conforming to global academic standards. To achieve its goals, IMT-N provides its students with academic, extracurricular and other necessary facilities to groom them into ‘leaders of the future’. Established in 2004 by Late Shri Mahendra Nath, IMT-Nagpur is spread over a sprawling campus of 27 acres at the outskirts of Nagpur. Strategically located in the heart of the country, Nagpur is equidistant from all the major cities and is fast emerging as a hub for new-economy industries. IMT-Nagpur’s state-of-the-art campus, amidst picturesque surroundings, is a testimony to its commitment of becoming a top-of-the-line B-school in India. Main activities of the institute are: 1. Full time long duration residential programs, aimed primarily at fresh graduates or those with a few years of experience 2. Short term ‘Management Development Programs’ aimed at working executives 3. Research 4. Consultancy Full time long duration residential programme: The flagship programme of the institute, the Post Graduate Diploma in Management, is offered in the following variations namely, PGDM, PGDM (Financial Management) and PGDM (Marketing). The programme is fully residential and is conducted at our campus at 35 Km Milestone, Katol Road, Nagpur. The programme structure allows a large degree of flexibility to students and the tags do not constrain the students from achieving their learning objective.

Every 2nd year student has to choose 12 electives (3 credit courses) out of the elective courses offered by the Institute, during two terms i.e. Terms IV, V & VI. A student has to take six (6) courses for a first specialization, four (4) courses for second specialization (if going for it) and remaining two (2) courses compulsorily from other areas. Although all attempts will be made to have non-clashing schedule, it may happen that some students are asked to drop out of an elective, when a large number of students are affected by clashing schedules. Students can take also take two 1.5 credit elective courses in lieu of a one 3 credit course. A student may specialize in the following functional areas: 6. Financial Management Marketing HR & OB Operations Economics Business Analytics & Information Technology Selection of flexible core courses and electives: (a) During Term II, the Academic Office will upload the course-briefs of all the flexible core courses on ERP portal for all the students.

(b) During Term III, an Interaction cum Counselling Session regarding the Second Year Electives and Management Labs will be scheduled by Academic office. The Academic Office will upload the course-briefs of all the elective courses on ERP portal for all the concern students. It is student’s responsibility to go through the briefs and come up with queries, doubts or clarifications about the courses which they are interested in. Change of specialization during the continuance of any term is not allowed. Area of specialization should be indicated during the third term when notified by the Programme Chairperson (PGDM). An elective course, as indicated in the curriculum, shall be offered only if a minimum of number of students opt for it as a credit course (This number may vary from year to year which will be notified to the students) Page 7. 8 During Interaction, the Area Chair will act as an anchor/moderator of the whole exercise. The faculty members will be addressing the concerns raised by the students pertaining to their course [including the cross listed courses (if any)]. 8. Students who go out for outbound international exchange programmes will be given credit for courses done at the host institution (foreign institute) against elective courses. If they have missed any first year courses they will be required to make up their total credit requirements through additional elective courses. Detailed rules will be notified by the Chairperson (PGDM programmes) from time to time. 9. Participation in Conferences: Page 9 Students are encouraged to present papers and participate in conferences organized by external bodies in India in order to supplement their academic inputs at the institute with views from external experts. Application for such participation must be forwarded to the Chairperson, Student’s Affairs through a faculty member, who having either guided the student(s) or having perused the contents of conference paper, is in agreement that such participation is in the overall interest of the student’s development. 3. PEDAGOGY 1. IMT Nagpur follows various interactive & participative methods and styles of pedagogy like class room teaching, small projects, assignments, role plays, simulations, case discussions/presentations and activity based learning etc. for effective understanding and communication of concepts, theory & management principles. 2. In the beginning of the term, faculty members will provide detailed course outlines for their respective courses. The course outlines will contain the course objectives, learning outcomes, session plans, reading material, teaching methods and evaluation pattern. The course outline will be made available on Online Portal/ERP. a. Wherever more than one faculty member is assigned for the same subject, for separate sections of the same batch, such faculty members will co-ordinate amongst themselves, such that, as far as possible, progress of the course and degree of difficulty of the assessment components remain compatible. b. Faculty may follow different methodologies to enhance the understanding of the students. IMT Nagpur believes that evaluation is an important aid in making students learns a subject better. Hence, various methods of evaluation will be adopted. Every course will have different components of evaluation like quizzes, projects, term examinations etc. i. The weightage for any single evaluation component ranges between 10% to 30% of the total evaluation for the term (i.e. 100%) and the End Term would be compulsorily of 40%. ii. There will be 3 components of internal evaluation for a Full credit course i.e. 3 credits (For half credit course i.e. 1.5 credits, 2 components of internal evaluation). iii. All courses shall have End Term Evaluations, which will be held at the end of the term as per the examination schedules released by AO. However, Midterm exam is optional. For each component of evaluation, a faculty member shall award marks and not grades. The faculty member will communicate performance of students through marks only. 4. As far as practicable a course will be evenly distributed throughout the term. 5. Although it is desirable to have fixed class schedules, classes may be held at short notice, due to emergencies or availability of visiting faculty. 6. Time Tables shall be framed in such a manner that classroom participation of a student does not extend beyond eight hours in a day. Each session shall be of one hour & thirty minutes. Normally, for each course, two or three sessions will be held per week. This number may go up in case of visiting faculty. 7. As IMT Nagpur runs fully residential programmes, classes may be scheduled on any day of the week, as well as outside institute’s office hours. That is, classes may be held on Sundays and holidays as also before 9 am & after 5:30 pm. Page 3. 10 iv. In Open Book examination students can carry any material, printed or handwritten or photocopied during the examination. However, the faculty member can specify or restrict the use of any material for an open book examination.

Students are advised in their own interest not to carry mobile phones to the class rooms. Use of laptops in the class room will be allowed subject to requirement & prior permission of the faculty. 5. EVALUATION All programmes at IMT Nagpur follow a continuous evaluation system in order to assess the students throughout the course. The components of evaluation and the relative weightage for each component are decided entirely by the course faculty. 1. The course faculty has full authority to assign weightages, not more than 20% and not less than 10% to each of the various components of evaluation in a course. However the End Term would be of 40%. The components of evaluation and their respective weightages will be communicated to the students along with the course outline at the beginning of each term. 2. Throughout the term, students will be tested on their abilities to understand concepts, learn techniques and apply them to problem situations of the real world. Hence, at each stage of the course, students will be able to assess their own performances and take proper steps for improvement. 3. The grading system will be on a 10-point scale. Following is a description of these grades: Letter Grade A+ A AB+ B BC+ C CD F Grade Point 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Description Exceptional Excellent Proficient Very Good Good Fair Satisfactory Low Pass Poor Very Poor Fail 4. For each component of evaluation, faculty members will communicate performance of students through marks only. For better understanding of students, faculty members may also provide qualitative feedback. 5. At the end of the Term, final results would be communicated to the students as per the dates mentioned in the Academic Calendar. 6. Re-Exam Rules: (a) Students who miss the end term examination for being away on pre-approved work of the Institute, will be allowed to appear for a re-examination. AO will initiate the process for conducting re-exam of End Term. (b) Students who miss the end term examination for being away for reasons other than pre-approved work of the institute will be allowed to appear for a re-examination. In such cases only 50% of the actual marks obtained in that component will be considered for the purposes of assigning total Term Marks or Grades. To appear for re-examination, student should get an approval from Program-Chairperson within 5 working days of the original scheduled date of examination. Page 13 (c) In case of components with lesser weightage i.e., up-to 20% the concerned faculty may prorate the marks, subject to his/her discretion, provided student had taken prior permission from the concerned faculty for missing the evaluation component. 7. The PGDM programme follows a system of relative grading. This implies that the grade a student obtains for performance is relative to grades obtained by the class as a whole. It will, therefore, not be unusual for a student to be assigned an average grade even after obtaining perceptively high if the class average is also high. In addition, faculty members may prescribe absolute limits in awarding grades. However, such absolute limits are usually prescribed for awarding grades at the extreme ends of the scale. 8. In each course, a student is thus awarded a letter grade only. The weighted average for all courses taken by a student in the programme is called the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) (Please note that the weights used to compute CGPA are relative to the number of credit hours for a course). 9. Term Grade Point Average (GPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) shall be calculated considering credit courses only as per following: n CiGi l GPAt = n Ci Where, Ci = credit associated with course “i”, Gi = Grade point obtained in course “i” n = No. of courses credited in the term/semester, GPAt= GPA for term “t” CGPA is calculated over all the courses studied on credit basis throughout the period. Criteria for promotion to next term/ second year and award of diploma 10. (a) A student will be required to obtain a minimum CGPA of 4.5 at the end of the first academic year (end of term-III) in order to qualify for entry into the second academic year of the programme. However to be eligible for participation in the final placement process during 2nd year of the PGDM program, a student will be required to attain a minimum level of CGPA (to be announced by the placement office) at the end of Term III/IV. (b) Grade re-assessment opportunity will be given under the following conditions i. If the CGPA of a student is below 5 or ii.

During grade re-assessment, a maximum of three grade improvement can be awarded to the student in the chosen course. However, the final grade after grade re-assessment cannot exceed B+ in the chosen course. It may also be noted that in case the student’s performance in grade re-assessment is below expectations, the grade may be kept same or even lowered. Thus, the fresh grade obtained by the student in the grade re-assessment process will supersede the existing grade. The student will be charged a fee of Rs.5,000 per course for grade re-assessment. (c) If a student scores an ‘F’ grade in any CORE course in any term and is not able to improve through Grade re-assessment process, he/she will be disqualified for the award of the Diploma and asked to leave the PGDM program immediately.

On receipt of the application and fees, the AO will prepare the duplicate certificates and dispatch them to the address communicated by the student in his / her application. 6. FACULTY FEEDBACK In the interest of improving course delivery by faculty members, it is imperative that students provide wholesome feedback to faculty members in whose courses they have participated. Providing faculty feedback is mandatory & will attract such penalties as may be notified by AO. Faculty feedback is received in the Online Portal before both Mid Term and End Term examinations. AO will announce the dates when the Online Portal will be kept open for such feedback. 7. GUIDELINES PERTAINING TO EXAMINATIONS 1.
