the procedure of admission are indicated below.

Programme Objective

PGP-CEM has been designed to provide competency-based education to the

desire to turn into such entities, and (b) to enhance the skills of those who are
currently functioning as such.

Pedagogy

The modus operandi to be adopted for achieving the above objective will consist
of
(i) Class lectures- class lectures will draw on Indian and global
cases wherever necessary,
(ii) Individual and group assignments,
(iii) Enterprise exposure (requiring the students to go through an
internship for a pre-determined period) with a small, medium
or a large enterprise and
(iv) Project work based on enterprise exposure and otherwise.

Faculty for the Programme

The courses included in the programme will be conducted by XLRI's faculty
known for their research and/or hands-on professional experience in relevant
areas and disciplines. Guest Lecturers from the industry/profession may be
invited in certain cases to sharpen the focus of the Centre on bringing inputs
from the ground to bear on the programme.

of courses covering conceptual and operational aspects related to execution of
entrepreneurial ventures (totalling around 330 to 350 contact hours) will be
included in the curriculum. The details of the curriculum and the number of
contact hours involved may be modified if and when such modification is
considered necessary for making the programme operationally more
efficacious.
