Course Structure

PGPEL & APEL students - Induction along with parents:

On 2nd & 3rd June 2010 an induction programme for students of PGPEL and direct entry APEL students, and their parents together, covering the institutional processes, educational, training and evaluation systems, as to why they are so and how these will help students emerge extraordinary and as successful executives /entrepreneurs in the business world, will be conducted.

Cancellation of admission after induction : After induction and all the clarifications those who still want to cancel the admission can do so. But 50% of annual tuition fee / first installment of the annual tuition fee paid, shall be deducted as administrative charges. Any cancellation after 3rd June 2010 will not get refund of anything paid except the caution deposit, because the institute spends lot of time, efforts and money on advertisement, selection centres and processes.

Orientation / Bridge Programme : Direct entry students of APEL will have to undergo a bridge programme from 5th June - 15th July 2010. For the course to begin, there must be minimum 30 eligible and suitable candidates taking admission. Clearing the Bridge Programme is a must for APEL direct entry.
Earlier PGPEL or PGDM students of SCMLD admitted for APEL need no induction or bridge programme as they have undergone the programme already.
The PGPEL students who score less than 75% in entrance will have to undergo a bridge programe starting from 1st May to 30th May 2010.

Trimester Plan : Both Programmes :IGNOU has examinations in June & December every year. A student can take 4 subjects / courses in a semester. SCMLD students joining in June may take the first semester exam of IGNOU MBA / PGDIM (Graduates with less than 50% marks) in December 2010, second semester in June 2011, third semester in December 2011 and fourth semester in June 2012 and the remaining exams in December 2012. However classroom coaching for all the concerned subjects will be finished well before the exams. The project work of IGNOU MBA can be done in February, March - April 2012 along side the last trimester of SCMLD Advance Programme in Executive Leadership provided one takes the APEL after passing PGPEL. Otherwise they can continue attending classroom sessions for IGNOU MBA / PG Diplomas during weekends / evening sessions during the succeeding years.

The same pattern could be followed for those students whose marks are less than 50% in graduation. They will take exams for PGDIM exactly as the subjects of MBA above, and then proceed for specialisation PG Diplomas in Marketing Management, Operations Management, Financial Management or Human Resource Management, as they choose.

In short, those who are graduates with 50% and above marks can take up IGNOU MBA and those with less than 50% marks can go for PGDIM first and then go for any of the specialisation PG Diploma of their choice. However admission to IGNOU programmes are subject to minimum 40 percent / percentile in CAT, XAT, ATMA, MAT, CET of any state Govt. or OPENMAT of IGNOU.

SCMLD programmes admission is subject to clearing its entrance.

At SCMLD the first two trimester courses / subjects of PGPEL are compulsory. The objective is to build a strong conceptual base spanning all functions of business; develop awareness of the art, science and contemporary realities of enterprises; sharpen the mental & intellectual acumen; initiate an inner journey of self discovery and calmness; inculcate habits of self management, self governance & excellence and uncover leadership potential, through a variety of activities, classroom sessions, case studies, workshops, assignments, outward bound learning, crucibles etc. and through our day to day response system. Demolition of dysfunctional and un-leader like mindset is part of the process. Specialisation specific coaching is in IIIrd Trimester with certain common subjects and processes. There shall be a number of learning by doing / organising assignments during all the trimesters. APEL has mostly specialisation electives with a few common courses.

While SCMLD follows a Trimester system for its leadership programmes, the IGNOU programmes / exams are in Semester system. However the coaching / grooming will be well synchronised and finished before the IGNOU exams. Those who pass out of PGPEL / APEL and take up jobs - SCMLD can conduct classroom sessions on week end basis if they have any doubts. Otherwise the entire coaching would have finished by April 2012.
