The Indian School of Business (ISB) announces a major overhaul of its Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP) curriculum to adapt to the evolving business l
The Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP) at the Indian School of Business (ISB) has initiated a thorough curriculum revision in response to the dynamic nature of the business environment.
According to ISB, the new curriculum has a three-pronged focus, which includes a move towards a more customised and flexible programme structure, given the diverse needs of the students, who come from backgrounds varying from engineering to the armed forces to art or sports, an ISB statement said.
With it, learnability is the second pillar, as the school will now use more activity-based methods that build the ability to constantly learn. The third key point is a built-in system of renewal in the curriculum so as to respond to future needs proactively.
Changes will be phased in constantly, ISB added. The revised curriculum, in its delivery, emphasises personalised and experiential learning opportunities, for which the newly set up Centre for Learning and Teaching Excellence will play a pivotal role. It will drive continuous improvement in content and curriculum design.
PGP students can now build up to 60 per cent of the programme from an expanded list of elective credits. The core credits are reduced to 14; of those too, four can be chosen from a wider list.
The school has emphasized on enhancing its analytics curriculum to align with the demands of today’s data-driven business landscape. Among new courses would be those covering innovative technologies. Elective offerings include Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).
To make space for innovations in the one-year programme, the school has also realigned the structure. While earlier there were standard six-week terms, now there are four ‘block weeks’ built in — making space for a variety of shorter-term courses in between the usual terms.
Additionally, ISB’s Office of Experiential Learning will offer immersive experiences that bridge theory with practice through activities such as field immersions and industry-sponsored projects. This holistic approach aligns with prominent global trends and is informed by a thorough study of the learning landscape by ISB.
