Why corporates prefer PGDM students over any management course?

Why PGDM?

PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management), is a job oriented course which means it prepares the individual for a job. It’s a regular 2 year post graduate course. The curriculum is updated every year and the necessities or requirements as per the current industry demand and trends are included in the curriculum. The course structure and pedagogy is very much different from other management courses and focuses on holistic growth of students instead of theoretical knowledge only.

Management Course

Why PGDM is different?

PGDM inculcates skills, ethics, and persona which is very much required in the management sector. Management field requires special skills and traits that are must for a student who is seeking or looking forward to be a manager.

Some of the managerial traits are:

  • Leadership
  • Curiosity and Innovation
  • Team Building
  • Coordination
  • Empathy
  • Work Ethics
  • Negotiation skills and Communication skills
  • Manifestation
  • Representation skills
  • Adaptation
  • Intellect along with diligence
  • Perseverance and Confidence

There are multiple specializations in PGDM like Marketing, Finance, Information Technology, Operation management, Human Resources, International Business, Business Analytics, Logistics & Supply Chain Management and many more. So, the skills required in order to be a good manager completely depends on the specializations and the job profile the student is interested in.

What corporates look for?

The horizon of an HR’s job role is very much broad starting from managing the balance of employees i.e. hiring as soon as the place is vacant, to making strategies for hiring, sourcing the best institutions from where they can hire, retaining the employees etc., but the most important aspect to be taken care of is finding the right fit i.e. the  right  candidate for the right profile and when it comes to choosing the managerial candidate the work is more tough as we all know how much important managerial positions are in any organization irrespective of the department. Here comes in the point that what actually an organization or HR looks forward for in a candidate. Apart from the common managerial traits the HR’s looks for the curiosity to learn, adapt into new environment and the skills related to the specialization and the profile the student has applied for.
