Programme Structure

The PGDM Dual Specialization program at Narayana Business School is designed to provide students with a well-rounded education, combining theoretical knowledge with practical, industry-driven expertise. The program is structured to prepare graduates for leadership roles in diverse industries by offering in-depth knowledge across two specialized domains.

PGDM Year 1

The first year focuses on mastering business fundamentals and building a holistic perspective on management. Participants engage in immersive experiences, including live projects in Data-Driven Decision Making and Business Analytics using SPSS and R-Program, to develop practical problem-solving skills.

A 3-month domain-specific internship and projects with leading global companies ensure real-world exposure, bridging academic learning with industry practices. Value-added programs further enhance in-demand skills, preparing students for the competitive corporate environment.

Year 1 provides a strong foundation for future specialization and managerial success.

PGDM Year 2

The second year is dedicated to specialization and practical application of concepts. With 16 electives per term, students explore advanced industry practices and methodologies. The unique dual specialization feature allows equal focus on two chosen domains, creating balanced expertise.

The program culminates in a capstone project, enabling participants to address real-world challenges in their specialization areas. This structured approach, combined with internationally recognized teaching, equips students with leadership and technical skills to thrive in a dynamic global landscape.
