Air Conditioned Classroom 10 IIAM First Autonomous B-School in AP ABOUT IIAM

IIAM is the first autonomous Management Institute in Andhra Pradesh established in 1987, awarding the PGDBM (Post Graduate Diploma in Business Management). Autonomous institute has the freedom and flexibility to formulate the curriculum and subjects based on current need of the industry/ corporate. With fast pace of globalization, companies are looking for ‘industry-ready’ management graduates. Hence an institute has to be quick in responding to changing environmental needs. While an autonomous institute like IIAM can bring about these changes rapidly , universities offering MBA courses do not have this freedom. IIAM invites suitable visiting faculty, guest speakers / domain experts to address and interact with students to meet this changing need of industry. Students have to undertake lot of mini surveys and projects apart from the summer internship where they spend about 8 weeks in an organization. All this give tremendous exposure to them and they are ‘industry-ready’ at the end of two years at IIAM. Some of the well known autonomous institutes in India are IIMs (Indian Institutes of Management), XLRI, Jamshedpur, Indian School of Business, Hyderabad (ISB) and SP Jain Institute of Management & Research , Mumbai.

12 IIAM First Autonomous B-School in AP HOLISTIC EDUCATION

IIAM provides a learning platform which results into a multi-dimensional personality of a student. Immediately after joining, students undergo one week orientation programme. It helps them to align themselves with the need and vigour of the PGDBM programme. During orientation stage their interaction with industry experts help them to visualize a goal for themselves so that they remain focused through out the programme. Pedagogy involves case discussions, extensive class interaction and individual as well as team activities by students. Most of the cases are based on current happenings in industry and business situation and environment. Internal assessment is based on their performance in the class participation, presentation and understanding of cases. There are three module examinations in a semester which test the students on specific units covered during the period, thereby making it more fun than burden. Plenty of opportunities are available to students through different activities like games, business quiz, management events and interactions with eminent personalities from industry, academics and other walks of life to bring out their creativity , leadership and team spirit. Students organize and manage all activities at IIAM. Prominent are ‘traditional day’ (where all students come in their states’ traditional dresses and present traditional dances and music), ‘Pinnacle’- national management meet where students from all management institutes participate in different events, “Evoke”- a sports meet of different colleges, ‘Fresher’s Day’, Ozone’s day etc.

PLACEMENTS

Process of placement starts at IIAM from month of December onwards, actively. Constant interface with industry and corporates helps a great deal in this process. ‘Placement Cell’ proactively keep in touch with prospective employers round the year and ensures that their visits are slotted to campus at the earliest. Apart from some big and popular names IIAM also prefer new and upcoming companies as it provides great opportunity for students to learn. As already narrated earlier in this brochure the growth of Vizag city offers tremendous job opportunities to our students in Banking, Insurance, IT and other service organizations apart from traditional companies. Therefore emphasis is also on potential employers in this region. In order to ensure the probability of selection ,when companies visit campus for placements of our students, IIAM conducts elaborate mock interviews with the help of own faculty and some visiting faculty much before the actual placements start. This enables the students to identify their weaker areas and give them enough time to improve these deficiencies. No wonder , IIAM has been able to achieve cent percent placements year after year! Placement of 25th batch has started very well and we have been able to place so far almost 75% of the students and the process will go on for another two more months.
