Dear Management Aspirants,

Have you ever wondered about the philosophy behind the 21 weeks of experiential learning in the PGDM program at DMI Patna?

What comes to mind when you think about experiential learning—learning by doing on-site, hands-on experience? The PGDM program at DMI highlights the importance of learning by observing, reflecting, and doing. While most management institutes emphasize more on doing, we provide space for students to understand the development canvas critically before their Management Internship.
Our program includes:

Enterprise Learning: Students spend six weeks on-site, revisiting classroom learning and closely observing management functions—operations, project management, finance and accounting, marketing and sales, HR, and more. This helps students learn the end-to-end functionalities of enterprises and understand corresponding business challenges.
Development Immersion: Five weeks dedicated to exploring policies, development concerns and challenges, and the social implications of economic pursuits. This lays the foundation for brighter career choices in the development sector.
Management Internship: A ten-week internship provides the necessary exposure to work on business problems and development concerns. Students become fully functional and resourceful individuals ready to embark on careers as development professionals—development practitioners or social entrepreneurs.

We take a holistic approach, carefully crafting the managerial dimensions of the developmental process in their thinking and grooming their capabilities for effective functioning.
