This programme follows a clearly defined course structure, each segment seamlessly joined to the next
- Induction: Spread over two and a half days in April, it gives the students a chance to get familiar with the infrastructure, co-curricular and extra- curricular activities, while tuning into the programme content and the IIMA method of learning.

- Building Blocks: Plunge into the next four months devoted to core courses focused on fundamentals of management. It crystallizes and enhances the basic conceptual and analytical knowledge

- International Immersion: September brings a change of pace in the shape of the International Immersion Programme (IIP). In this segment students spend two intensive weeks of academics in an international location, giving them an opportunity to go beyond just classes and get immersed in an unfamiliar territory

- Preparing for Top Management: October, November and December are devoted to understanding the view from the Top! Students get to understand and envision the dynamics within complex managerial problems and get the experience of being change agents and playing a role at the top. This module also runs in parallel to some of the subsequent months' curriculum

- Electives: October, November, December, January, February and 'sometimes' March are then set up for making critical choices. Students choose from a wide range of elective courses on marketing, finance, supply chain management, strategic management and other non core sectoral areas as well. This allows students the freedom of electives in areas of passion and proficiency, making every student's experience unique and customized to his or her chosen growth path. It is also an opportunity to explore new areas of learning and a chance to reflect on and leverage past experience

As part of the 'electives' segment, students can opt for an Individual Research Project (IRP). The project is executed by MBA-PGPX (One Year MBA) participants with a faculty advisor. The result is a high quality written output, which could be any of

• A case with analysis
• An Industry Note
• A paper on "Bridging the Divide" (focusing on a socio economic divide affecting the world)
• A business plan for an entrepreneur

- Capstone: A finale as an encapsulation of the learning experience, this segment provides an opportunity to integrate learning from the entire programme, reflect on one's own experience as an experienced professional and understand what it means to work in large, multidisciplinary teams facing tough deadlines.
