MBA Infrastructure Management

Two-Year Full-Time Programme through PGDIM. Based on the encouraging experience of running the unique PGDIM Programme, VTU is commencing a new format two-in-one PG Programme in Infrastructure Management at MINDS from the academic year 2007-08. Very modular in structure, this innovative programme provides for a ‘Dual Qualification Option’ whereby a student receives a Post-Graduate Diploma in Infrastructure Management (PGDIM), on successfully completing the first year, and also an MBA Degree in Infrastructure Management, if he/ she chooses to put in another year of study. One exceptional feature of this dual option PG Programme is that it is a highly modular arrangement whereby a student needs to make up his/ her mind only midway or even at the end of the one-year PGDIM whether to move on to the second year of the MBA.

The second year (MBA level) comprises two semesters including extended project assignments. An additional feature of the MBA is that it also provides for specialization in at least three specific Streams of Sectoral Programmes (SSPs).

The first of its kind, the MBA (Infrastructure Management) offers a unique scientifically structured curriculum tailored to meet the demands of the infrastructure sector, as also to suit the aspirations of young professionals, without replicating the efforts of existing schools of business management. The curriculum is well-planned and comprises intensive practical training. Self-development & cultural enrichment, as a continuous process, constitute an important part of the programme.

The MBA also provides for specialization in any three of the following six Streams of Sectoral Programmes:
