Welcome to a Radically Different business education

I have had the privilege to be at the helm of the ITM-Group of Institutions since the very beginning, and I have had the unique pleasure of witnessing thousands of careers taking off and dreams coming true, as our students turn to face the world, emboldened by their experiences at ITM and their desire to start something big.

You are reading this message because you too, are looking forward to start something that you hope will transform your life, your career and even the planet! I am confident you have taken the first steps towards making that transformation happen.

The MBA/PGDM is in a state of crisis, as business schools have taken the easy way out for too long. At ITM, we’ve realized this and have gone back to our roots and questioned everything we have taken for granted. In the last year, I have personally led an initiative to dramatically change how we prepare students for business careers, called The Rethink Project.

Over the last two years I have personally met hundreds of CEOs and industry leaders and sought their insight and their expectations of business school graduates. We have looked inward, and broken down our PGDM program, cast away the parts that were obsolete and completely redesigned the PGDM. In the pages ahead, you will read just how radical the changes are!

Over the years, we have come to pride on our “Merit as the only currency accepted” philosophy for admissions. ITM-Business School has never “sold a seat” nor do we believe in the practice of collecting donations or capitation fees or allow influence or lobbying to affect our admissions process. Complete transparency and equal opportunity for all have been ITM’s bedrock principles for admissions.

- Dr. P.V. Ramana

Chairperson

ITM-Group of Institutions

“You have already taken the first decision – to seriously consider studying for a career in Business. By reading this prospectus you are into the next decision phase – which business school do I choose?

Not all PGDM programs or all schools are the same and an increasingly important question asked by potential employers is...“Where did you get your PGDM?”

Dear Stakeholders,

We are witnessing a wholesome shift in demand for post graduate education in management with a caveat that there is a need for an increasing modularization and flexibility within all types of formal training, an increasing demand for personal development and a shift fr¬om managed career structures to flexible, experiential and informal approaches. As an educator, ITM has recognized this shift in the thought process on management education from ‘academic liberalism’ to creating ‘critical practitioners’.

Reengineering of management education is a clear mandate for educators and the axis of focus has now shifted to creating a new learning platform, jointly anchored with the industry. Our highly appreciated and industry acknowledged PGDM iConnect Program delivers cutting edge curriculum, impactful long term internships and has proven to be a huge value differentiator for recruiters.

The primary thought process behind the PGDM iConnect program was to develop effective leaders and new age entrepreneurs given the changing landscape of globalization, innovation and rapid technology adoption. Given this background, it was pertinent to rebalance the curricula with a greater focus on skill building, personality development and techniques that are core to the practice of management. The idea was to stem the growing deficit on skills and attitude required for insightful analysis and decision-making.

The thought process was to also align academia with industry and an intensive and extensive industry internship immersion was the answer. Therefore the duration of the internship period has been scaled to 5 months, typically replicating a probation period. The ITM PGDM iConnect program is radically different, rebuilt to deliver targeted learning, real-world experience and all-round personal development.

We recognize the challenges you face in finding the right skill set coupled with the right attitude for potential positions arising this year and promise to assist you in accomplishing this goal. I look forward to a long-term association with you and your continuous support in placement of our students. I cordially invite you on Campus for Placement of the Class of 2015.

With warm regards,

Global ImmersionsITM-IFM & Deakin University (Australia): International Students Exchange Program(ISEP)

In order to achieve the benefits of the ISEP, Seven students of ITM – Institute of Financial Markets, along with 1 faculty member had gone to Deakin University, Australia for a 21 day student exchange tour. The aim of this programme was to help the students to get an in-depth knowledge of the Australian financial markets and also to provide them an understanding of the Australian culture and its people. To succeed in this endeavor there were many programmes organized by Deakin University. On the financial markets side there were interactions with various financial intermediaries like ANZ bank, guest lectures by local Corporate for providing them an understanding of the Australian Carbon Credit markets, pension markets and its financial services markets.

There was also a 5 day WOFIE (Workshop for Innovation and Entrepreneurship) programme wherein our students took part. The

groups were given real life problems faced by the Not For Profit organizations and had to find workable practical solutions to their problems. The highlight of this programme was that the students got to interact with other students from different cultural & educational backgrounds and they worked together to resolve many cultural issues. Our students not only participated but also won many prizes in this international event and got laurel to our college.

To get a glimpse of the cultural experience of Australia various programmes were initiated by the Deakins University and the students were taken to various tourist places as were as spots of historic importance. The experience of the exchange program was scripted by one of the student which got published in the Australian Magazine Your Voice (September- Issue No 30)

Leadership Initiatives:

ITM-Institute of Financial Markets always had believed that a student need not only be good in their academics but also need to be a team player as well as a leader. So in order to hone these skills the students were made to be part of various events through which they could develop themselves. To start with the students were send for an adventurous trip to Adventure One Zone, Vangini wherein they were made to do various activities like Rappelling, Raft building team activity, Rock Climbing, Path finding, etc. This way the students were pushed to their limits to perform in various physical activities which needed to be performed in a team.

The students during their course also were actively involved in conducting various programs and events in association with bodies like Bombay Chamber of Commerce & Industry and Bombay Management Association. The events were attended by all the top CFOs, Executives, and Bureaucrats including Deputy Governor of RBI as well. Such events gave them opportunity to build their professional network and also to organize events so as to get branding for the institute.

25

Social Initiatives

Financial Inclusions: The students of ITM-IFM have initiated the nationwide financial inclusion campaign by conducting one day awareness program titled ‘Empowerment of Artisans & Village Entrepreneurs’ in association with CIDCO. They have participated so far in various Melas conducted in the Urban Haat, Belapur wherein they through their interaction with the artisans have organized programs to empower them with the requisite skill sets like marketing, production, designing etc. The student group in their bid to undertake the program has got a real time exposure from the participating artisans. Through their interactions they could identify the gaps which the artisans usually faced for availing various Government sponsored schemes and facilities. In order to facilitate smooth transfer of information the students interacted in the vernacular language of the artisans. The event has been also published in leading papers like DNA, TOI etc.

Alumni Speak

Our alums are well established in various organizations across the world and have been recognized for their contributions as well. The alums feel that the 2 years spent during their MBA program has not only given the knowledge but also the attitude to do the things in an efficient way.

Anirudha Kasat, Passout Year 2005, Executive Director, Taryjyot Investment Pvt Ltd

ITM has given me a vision towards Financial Markets that has helped me to create and develop new ideas for my company’s investments & as well as helped me to enhance my ability to be entrepreneurial.

Dharmesh Bhatia, Passout Year 2005, Deputy Vice President, Kotak Commodities

ITM-FM training is undoubtedly the best one can have. I have learnt a lot from this very comprehensive, straightforward and instructive program. The course has given me a much better understanding of all the different interrelated applied principles in business management. Thank you very much for you has given me the keys to success. I strongly recommend ITM - FM to anyone seeking financial training

Srinivas Menon, Passout Year 2009, Analyst, ICRA Ltd

PGDM FM course that I underwent at ITM was a rewarding experience providing me with a deep and thorough fundamental academic knowledge, which I continue to practically apply in my professional pursuits. The financial market course took the learning’s to a higher level laying a solid foundation upon which I could build on and leverage. The IFM MBA has certainly been worth the investment in terms of my time and money and has helped to excel in my professional career.

Jinendra Jain, Passout Year 2006, Deputy Manager , Motilal Oswal

To achieve my career goals, I required a comprehensive knowledge about the latest developments and techniques in the global financial markets and hands-on experience of financial analysis. The curriculum at ITM-IFM offers both – a working understanding of the financial decision-making process in an organization as well as insight into how financial markets function. The College has equipped me with necessary education and confidence to face the challenge and advance in my career and continue to set goals and grow professionally.
