INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT KOZHIKODE POST GRADUATE PROGRAMME IN MANAGEMENT
1. PREAMBLE The information, rules, and regulations contained in this Academic Handbook 2015-17, and the amendments/alterations/and modifications that may be made thereto from time to time by the Institute, shall govern the IIMK PGDM Programme Batch 19 (2015-17). If any situation / contingency arises, the solution whereof cannot be found in the Rules contained in this Academic Handbook PGP 19, then such decision taken by the PGP Committee of IIMK, in these regards, shall be final and binding. 2. INTRODUCTION The Post Graduate Programme (PGP) in Management of the Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (IIMK) offers a judicious blend of theory and practice and is deliberately designed to be change oriented. The course curriculum is continually reviewed and updated to cater to the requirements of industry and reflect changes in the environment. A unique feature of the PGP is its in-built concern for the larger society as reflected in the design of the curriculum, which aims at nurturing ethically conscious and socially responsible leaders of the future. Ever mindful of the shifting boundaries and the winds of change in a globalized business environment, the Programme also lays considerable emphasis on exposure to many aspects of international business and related strategic and cross cultural issues. The first year of the PGP provides the incoming students with a thorough grounding in the functional areas of Management. The first year courses in the core curriculum are common to all students, and, considering the level of rigor with which they are taught, these will enable the students to enter into any stream of Management when they embark upon a career. The first year also lays the foundations for moulding of the unique IIMK brand; where, as stated earlier, a concern for the wider society and an abiding value system are firmly imprinted. Besides formal instruction in Business Ethics, the Social Development Projects, where students are attached to local NGOs, charitable organizations, public developmental agencies/bodies and carry out socially relevant and useful projects, start at the very beginning of the PGP. The Summer Internship is another important building block of the Programme. While offering an opportunity to put learning into practice, it also serves as an important experiential channel for students to move towards finalizing their preferences on various elective courses, often resulting in switching of earlier affiliations. The second year courses, apart from one compulsory course, are elective offerings in the areas of Economics, Finance, Accounting & Control, Information Technology & Systems, Marketing, Organizational Behaviour & Human Resource Management, Quantitative Methods & Operations Management, Humanities & Liberal Arts in Management and Strategy. IIMK Faculty, as well as professionals from Industry and Academia (as Adjunct 3
Faculty), conduct these courses, which give in-depth insights into the subject matter, and hands-on experience through projects and case studies. Student interest groups in various functional areas meet regularly, and an active industry interaction cell ensures additional inputs from industry. Management seminars organized by the Institute ensure that the IIMK academic community is able to keep up with the latest developments in the theory and practice of management. Students, on successful completion of the PG Programme, which would imply obtaining mandatory minimum academic requirements as set out in Rule 4.2.4 herein, would be awarded Post Graduate Diploma in Management. 3. PROGRAMME STRUCTURE & COURSES The duration of the PGP is two academic years. Each academic year normally begins in June/July and ends in March/April, and consists of three terms. The students go for Summer Internships at the end of the third term. Each Course in the PGP is structured around the concept of credits. Each credit represents 10 hours of contact sessions, such that, a full course of 3 Credits requires 30 hours of classroom instruction and interaction. Students should note that 30 hours of instruction will normally require another 70 hours of preparation on their own; so typically 100 hours need to be devoted to a 3 Credits course. Instructors choose from multiple pedagogical tools including lecture discussions, case study method, behavioural and computer-based simulations, projects, class presentations, and various forms of technology based learning such as multimedia case analysis, video conferencing, and e-learning, to facilitate effective learning in their courses. 3.1 FIRST YEAR – Core Courses The first year courses are aimed at building the foundations of the PGP. Hence all students are required to complete all the first year courses successfully as set out in rule 4:2:3. These courses are designed for providing the basic conceptual knowledge and analytical tools in different disciplines and functional areas of management. Uniquely, the first year curriculum also consists of courses that aim at inculcating a sense of ethical consciousness and social responsibility. The first year core curriculum, which is compulsory, and also the brief write-up is mentioned in Annexure I. 3.2 SECOND YEAR – Elective Courses In the second year of the PGP, students register for elective courses, that is, courses of their choice, from among a large set of courses offered by the various Academic Areas of the Institute. They also take one compulsory course ‘International Business’ during Term IV. The elective courses are expected to enable a student gain deeper knowledge and understanding of their chosen areas they would like to pursue. Credit Requirements in the Second Year: In the second year of the PGP, each student must earn a minimum of 42 credits through the courses they choose including the compulsory course. The term-wise as well as overall minimum and maximum credit requirements are given in the Table below. Students must ensure that they have earned an overall minimum credit of 42 to be eligible to graduate. 4

Before the commencement of each term, the students should ensure that they meet the minimum credit requirements and does not exceed the maximum limits. Compulsory Course: All students in the second year of the Programme have to take the following course during Term IV: Course Code PGP 401
Term IV
Course Title International Business
Credit 3
Elective Courses: The elective courses are offered during the fourth, fifth, and sixth Terms of the Programme. The final decision on the specific set of elective courses to be offered in each Term rests with the PGP Committee. The PGP Committee normally takes this decision based on recommendations of the Academic Areas in the Institute. The list of elective courses on offer along with the brief write-up during the academic year 201516 is mentioned in Annexure II. Audit Courses & Non-Credit Courses: During the second year, students will have an opportunity not only to credit the elective courses offered, but also to audit some courses. The students may register for audit courses in the same way as they do for credit courses, but with the approval of the course instructor. Students will be declared as PASS/FAIL in these courses on the basis of their performance and these results are not included in the computation of CGPA or for meeting the requirements for the award of the Diploma. Moreover, the students are not permitted to take more than three audit courses in the second year, and not more than one in each term. Instructors will follow the same scheme of evaluation for both credit as well as audit students in the course. The PGP Committee may also approve to organize some courses as purely non-credit courses for the benefit of students. A Pass grade is awarded to those students who successfully complete the noncredit course. Project Courses: In addition, the students may also choose project courses, duly approved by the PGP Committee. Individual faculty members initiate project courses based either on the initiative/request from students or on their own, and, at most, three students may be enrolled in each such course. A student can elect for a maximum of one project course per term during each of the terms IV and V. The output of the project course, if in the form of a report, will be kept in the Institute Library. The grade obtained in the project course will be included in the computation of CGPA, and for meeting the requirements for award of the Diploma. 3.3. SUMMER INTERNSHIP AND PLACEMENTS At the end of the first year of the PGP, all the students should undergo eight to ten weeks of summer internship approved by the Placement Office. The students are required to follow the placement rules with respect to summer internship and a minimum of eight 5
weeks of internship is mandatory for promotion to the second year and successful completion of PGP. The Placement Office only facilitates summer internships. The Summer Internship is intended to provide a student with an opportunity to apply management principles learned during the first year in an organizational/industry context. Every student will be required to produce a project report, a certificate on the successful completion of summer internship project and feedback from the organization in which she/he interned. Only a student adhering to placement rules regarding summer internship would be issued a certificate of successful completion by the placement office which is mandatory for registering into Term IV of PGP. The Institute plays only a facilitating role in the lateral and final placement process. The placement process is governed as per the ‘Placement Manual’. 3.4. THE SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT The Social Development Project (SDP) begins at the start of the first year of the Programme and runs through the entire programme duration of each student in the Institute. The objectives of the social development project are to broad base management education and practice, and to orient the students to appreciate the larger socio-economic and political conditions in the country. Specifically, the objectives are to: • Bridge community-institution gaps, • Enable students to appreciate, understand and to extend their skills to the management of public services and resources, and • Develop an orientation for providing solutions to problems and issues faced in the management of public utilities, institutions and services. The Social Development Project is a non-credit compulsory component of the IIMK PGP. Normally groups of five to six students take up a project with the objective of participating in, studying, and analyzing an agency, institution, service, or utility and then coming up with appropriate interventions, recommendations, operating strategies, and solutions. The project is flexibly structured to enable students to have ample room to experience and experiment; there are no classroom sessions. It is spread over two years, making it possible for them to carry out the project-related work at their convenience. Students will be responsible for reporting their work at regular intervals to the SDP Coordinator, who is a faculty member of the Institute. Students will not be allowed to undertake the various activities concerned with this project during the regular/scheduled classes. On completion of the project work, each group of students will submit a report. The final report should be submitted on or before the deadline stipulated by the Institute. A ‘satisfactory’ or an ‘unsatisfactory’ grade will be awarded to the student after evaluation of the work done by the student. The time limit for submitting the preliminary SDP Report as well as final report will be announced by PGP Office and the students are strictly directed to follow the guidelines. The students are hereby advised to check carefully about the group formation and interact regularly with the respective SDP Faculty Coordinators.

3.5 PARTICIPATION IN ACADEMIC WORKSHOPS A student has to successfully complete all the academic workshops organized by the institute from time to time. Students must complete all the requirements of each workshop by attending the sessions and completing the academic assignments and assessment. Absenteeism from attending such Academic Workshops will be viewed seriously, and appropriate action will be initiated that may include suspension and also termination from the Post Graduate Programme. 3.6. INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE PROGRAMME India has emerged as one of the largest destinations for foreign direct and institutional investments in recent years and Indian companies have also increased their presence tremendously in international markets. IIMK’s International relations Office (IRO) endeavors to work with partner institutions to develop activities that foster trusting, enduring and mutually beneficial scholarly and social engagements between students, faculty members, staff and the broader community in countries across the globe. The list of International partners of IIMK is available in Annexure III Objective: To provide opportunities for IIMK’s PGP participants and students from partner institutions to broaden their horizon and international perspective by familiarizing themselves with emerging global opportunities, and to exchange ideas and experiences with their counterparts from other countries. Eligibility: A minimum aggregate CGPA (Terms I and II of PGP) of 2.5 No deficit credit points (DCP’s) in Terms I and II Students placed on academic probation/DPP at the time of registering for FOREX program are not eligible for international exchange Salient features: • Students normally proceed on international exchange during the fifth term of their PGP program • The process for selection of students will be initiated by the International Relations Office during the end of Term III and is a highly competitive process with merit being the sole criterion • Students should note that they should pay the required tuition fees for Term V at IIMK. However, they need not pay any tuition fees at the partner institutions. Other expenses related to books, reading materials, security deposits, accommodation, insurance etc., may have to be borne by the students. Mandatory credit requirements • Courses opted by the students will be scrutinized by the IR Executive Committee for their relevance to the PGP curriculum before freezing them for selection • It is mandatory for the students to secure at least 15 IIMK credits (18.75 ECTS credits) with passable grades during their exchange visits to satisfy the credit requirements of PGP program.

A student can also opt for a course which is taught via videoconferencing/ webinars provided it is a live streaming course that requires the physical presence of student in a class room.
Scholarship IIMK does not offer scholarship to any outgoing student. However, the International Relations Office will adequately advise students about scholarships offered by different universities and different countries (Example: Charpak scholarship by France, DAAD scholarship by Germany etc.). Penalty for Withdrawal • Withdrawal after publishing the final allotment list will attract a fine of INR 4000 per day from the day of announcement of the list subject to a maximum of INR 100000 • Withdrawal from the program citing the schedule of lateral placements of IIMK is not a valid reason and will not be considered for penalty waiver • Only under exceptional circumstances, request for penalty waiver will be considered positively by the IRO Credit shortfall • The onus is on the student to secure 15 IIMK credits with passable grades. For any reason, if a student fails in a subject and falls short of mandatory 15 IIMK credits, he/she will attract 6 deficit credit points (DCP’s) for every F grade obtained • If a student falls short of mandatory 15 IIMK credits owing to insufficient number of courses on offer at the partner institution, on a case to case basis, the student will be allowed by the PGP office to register for extra courses (equivalent to the shortfall) in Term VI at IIMK. The extra course allocation is not a matter of student’s right. PGP office will allot courses depending upon the availability of seats and the concerned faculty’s consent. Late registration and Attendance exemption • Owing to end examinations schedule at the partner institution, if a student is unable to register for Term VI on time, he/she can avail the facility of free late registration (a maximum of 2 days from the last examination date) by submitting documentary evidence to the PGP office indicating the schedule of end term examinations at the partner institution, duly endorsed by the Chairperson of International Relations, IIMK. Also, attendance will be waived off during this period • Any evaluation component missed during late arrival is subject to the final decision of the concerned faculty Offline/distance examinations Under rare circumstances, with the consent and cooperation of partner institutions, IRO can arrange to conduct offline end term examinations for students who depart without attending exams from partner institutions

4. ACADEMIC EVALUATION The method of evaluation varies from course to course. The course instructor will decide and communicate, at the beginning of the course, an appropriate scheme of evaluation as per the requirements of the course and the methods of instruction. Normally, the evaluation of academic performance in each course is based on varying combinations of the following components: Assignments, Quizzes, Class Tests, Class Participation, Project Work, Mid-Term Examination, End-Term Examination, and Any Other as suitably decided by the Instructor and previously announced to the class. The relative weights of the components will be at the discretion of the instructor. Instructors will also have the discretion to make some mid-course changes in the evaluation scheme, if, in their best judgment, such changes become necessary as the course progresses. Such changes would be promptly announced to the students if and when they are made. 4.1.
THE GRADING SYSTEM
4.1.1
At the end of each course, the instructor awards Letter Grades to the course participants. IIMK follows a grading scheme of 13 levels ranging from A+ to F as given in the Table below:

The students can check with PGP Office information related to DPP Fees structure. 4.3.3 Opting for DPP Voluntary by the Student: Any student joining PGP I can voluntarily decide to formally opt for the DPP at any point in time in her/his Year 1 of the Programme, right from the moment of registration for Term I; without stating any reason whatsoever for her/his decision. The student should inform this decision in writing to the PGP Chairperson and request and obtain her/his written permission before actually switching. Advisory from PGP: At any point in time in PGP I, the PGP Executive Committee may choose to provide written advice to poorly performing students to consider opting for the DPP. However, it is solely the responsibility of the concerned student either to accept such advice or not.
12
Mandatory by PGP Rules or Instruction from PGP Executive Committee: This can take the following forms: a. By PGP Rules: Any student exceeding the DCP limit set for becoming eligible for promotion to PGP II at any point in time during PGP I will have to immediately opt for DPP. The only alternative for such a student is to follow other relevant rules/provisions provided in the Academic Handbook. b. By Instruction of the PGP Executive Committee: When the PGP Executive Committee based on the academic performance of student as well as other relevant circumstances makes an assessment that it would be best from the student’s interest to opt for DPP, the committee can instruct the student or students to opt for DPP, in writing, citing the reason(s), and the concerned student(s) will have to strictly abide by the given instruction. c. Under the mandatory provision, switching over to DPP becomes immediately operational, as soon as the condition arises (exceeding the limit set for Deficit Credit Points) or on instruction from the PGP Executive committee. 4.4. ACADEMIC MALPRACTICE There are severe penalties for students found guilty of any kind of malpractice in any component of the evaluation of a course. All instances of malpractice, in assignments or examinations, of a lesser or a stronger magnitude will result in an overall course grade of F as the minimum punishment. The punishment may also incorporate, in addition, suspension or expulsion from the Programme or any other punishment that the Institute may deem appropriate. It is to be stressed that the rule applies in the case of malpractice, including plagiarism in term papers, projects, summer projects, etc. Usage / bringing the mobile phones inside the class rooms or examination venues (even in switched off mode) during examination including Quizzes will be treated as academic malpractice and appropriate action will be initiated. 4.5.

Mails to group e-mail ids of faculty, staff and students are however allowed to be sent only from Committee ids (like Student Council, Placement Committee, etc.) and not from individual id. IIMK email facility within the campus can be accessed using IIMK Intranet (http://intranet.iimk.ac.in). Alternately, the mails can also be accessed using (http://mail.iimk.ac.in) OR (http://webmail.iimk.ac.in). The mails can be accessed from outside IIMK campus by using (http://mail.iimk.ac.in) OR (http://webmail.iimk.ac.in). The Server Settings for accessing mails using Outlook/Android device/iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch/Windows Phone) etc. are given below: Incoming settings IMAP server: mail.iimk.ac.in Port: 993 Security type: SSL 29
Outgoing settings SMTP server: mail.iimk.ac.in Port: 465 Security type: SSL Outgoing server requires authentication. Use the same settings as incoming mail server Or Require sign-in and give the same username and password Virtual Classroom (VC)/Course Management System (CMS) The academic environment at IIMK makes extensive use of modern technology to supplement the conventional classroom based teaching. This is a web based service to facilitate anytime, anyplace access to learning content and can be accessed through the VirtualClassroom link available on the Intranet page (http://intranet.iimk.ac.in). Please note that the access to the virtual classrooms is permitted only to the students who actually enroll in that virtual classroom. Once again, the access authentication is based on the same UserID/Password that is used for accessing emails and other services. The faculty in charge of each course normally creates a virtual classroom for the course offered by him/her and sends the registration key and other details to the students actually enrolled in the course for enrolling in the virtual classroom of that course. The courseware and other materials available in the virtual classroom can be accessed by the students only after successful enrolment in that virtual classroom. PGP Portal The PGP Portal is a web portal which acts as a single point of communication between PGP Office, Faculty members, and Students. The information available on the portal includes student policies, course outlines, term wise course grades, PGP related notices, Time Table etc. The portal is accessible through the Intranet Page of IIMK. External Communication Infrastructure IIMK has the most modern communications infrastructure, which provides voice, data, and video communications services through a 2 Mbps ISDN line in addition to normal trunks. The facility is VoIP compatible and can easily be upgraded to provide Voice over IP/IP Telephony in the future. The institute also has multi party ISDN/IP based videoconferencing facilityand all classrooms are also equipped with videoconferencing facility. Access to Services from Students’ PC/Notebooks/Smartphone To access all the services from your personal PC/notebook/Smartphones, you need to authenticate. Access authentication is based on the UserID/Password .The UserID/Password allocated is purely for the individual’s personal use. No one is permitted to use another’s UserID/Password. Anybody found guilty of misusing another’s UserID/Password is liable to disciplinary action. Student IT Committee A student IT committee comprising of 2-3 students from each batch is constituted every year by the PGP Office of the Institute. This Committee assists students in all matters related to IT. The Committee also brings various user related issues to the notice of the CC for necessary action at the CC’s end and acts as an interface between the students and 30
the CC. Any problems being faced by you in accessing various services may please be reported to this committee (
[email protected]). You may also report such matters to CC Help Desk so that the same are immediately taken care of.
