From the
Director’s Desk
Dear Recruiter,
It is my pleasure to introduce to you the PGPX class of 2011.
Launched in the summer of 2006, the PGPX is a one year, full time Post Graduate Programme
in Management for Executives. PGPX students undergo the rigorous, broad based academic
process IIMA is renowned for. The programme moulds experienced professionals into
managers who fit naturally into middle and senior executive roles. The profile of this batch is
comparable to those at the best business schools across the globe in terms of cross-cultural
work experience, knowledge and depth of experience.
The graduates from the first four batches of this programme have been absorbed enthusiastically
by industry for various C-suite and other senior level executive positions, both domestically and
internationally. It is very heartening for us to note encouraging feedback from recruiters who
cite an excellent combination of professional expertise and mid-career specialization in our
students which is uncommon in India.
I am confident that within the PGPX class of 2011, you will find highly motivated individuals who
have the right skills, temperament and experience to add maximum value to your organization.

Guidelines for Recruiting Organizations
The PGPX placement committee and relationship managers will work with you to streamline
placement processes for recruiters and participants. They will help schedule your visits for
presentations and recruitment interviews.
Pre-placement presentations (up to 2 rounds) enable you to inform participants of your
organization’s unique opportunities and challenges, and your culture and structure. We have
found a 20-minute presentation and a 20-minute Q&A session most effective. Presence of
senior executives and alumni help create a better impact.
Negotiations on compensation and other terms of employment should be held in strict
confidence between you and the candidate. However, recruiters need to keep the Placement
Committee informed at the following stages to ensure that all recruiters are able to hire
effectively and efficiently.
• When a preliminary offer is made
• When a final offer is made
• When a candidate accepts or rejects a final offer
Recruitment Fee
There is a fee for participating in the recruitment, and a charge per successful hire (amounts will
be informed by the relationship manager). Companies headquartered in India, with turnover
below `1 bn and Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are exempt from the participation
fee.
PGPX participants have substantial work experience and are selected through a rigorous
admission process. The class therefore follows a strict non-disclosure policy for course
grades and GMAT scores.

Projects
The PGPX programme includes application of academic learning through the following projects – a
faculty-guided Individual Research Project (IRP), a simulation-based Capstone Project, and an optional
industry sponsored project after the academic component of the International Immersion Programme
(IIP)
Individual Research Project
Under guidance of a faculty, participants study an industry or a company, using the Institute’s resources
and interactions with stakeholders.
IRP provides students an opportunity to explore their passion while taking advantage of the rich and
diverse experience of the IIMA faculty network. Each of these projects results in one of the following:
• A business plan
• An industry note
• A company-specific case study
• A business plan on bridging the social divide
International Immersion Programme
This enables participants to apply their learning in a different environment from their “home culture”,
and to take effective business decisions in a multicultural context. This year’s students have a choice of
attending National University of Singapore, Chinese University of Hongkong, Fudan University, Shanghai
(China) or Warwick Business School (UK). In the three weeks following that, the participants have an
option to pursue sponsored consulting projects in the areas including M&A, revenue models, financial
product development and balanced score-cards across the globe.
Capstone Project
This is the culmination of the programme. During this period, participants are asked to resolve difficult
business situations, working in large multidisciplinary teams against tough timelines, in a simulated
business environment. This helps test and develop skills in the rational, individual and social dimensions
of leadership.
Some of the projects executed by PGPX students of earlier batches are:
• Developing strategy and a complete revenue model for a mobile remittance service in the US-Mexico
corridor
• Feasibility study for an international company to enter Indian markets
• Developing a framework for a company to evaluate its acquisition successes
• Devising a methodology for the implementation of activity based costing at a firm in the Middle East
• Developing a new product offering and market expansion for a financial services company
