24 MonthsThe Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) at Shanti Business School, Ahmedabad is a two-year, full-time AICTE-approved programme designed around the needs of a rapidly evolving business environment. The programme aims to help students develop a broad management foundation while progressively building expertise in selected domains and contemporary business capabilities.
Its academic architecture follows four stages — Explore, Choose, Specialise and Integrate. This progression allows students to begin with foundational management concepts, make informed academic choices, deepen domain expertise through major and minor electives, and integrate learning through experiential projects and focused tracks.
The curriculum brings together management disciplines with Artificial Intelligence, Data Analytics, Digital Marketing, sustainability and technology-enabled decision-making. Students can choose single or dual specialisation pathways and may pursue focused tracks in AI & Data Analytics or Digital Marketing. Emerging subjects include Generative AI & Prompt Engineering, Managerial Communication in the Age of AI, AI Applications in Business Functions, Multiple AI Tools & Lab, Data Storytelling & Decision Intelligence, Smart Operations & Supply Chain Management and other contemporary learning areas.
Specializations: Finance, Marketing, Data Sciences, Human Resources, International Business, Entrepreneurship, Supply Chain Management, Digital Marketing and Brand Communications
The PGDM structure also incorporates executive skills, business research, corporate readiness, professional skills, social immersion and summer internship exposure. The final stage connects academic and practical learning through capstone work aligned with the student's area and selected track.
This makes the PGDM suitable for students looking for management education that combines foundational business knowledge with contemporary technology, analytical thinking, professional development and experiential learning.
