Learning Objectives and Outcomes

Learning outcomes are statements of what a student is expected to know, understand, and/or be able to demonstrate on successful completion of the PGDM programme at VJIM. Learning outcomes represent a more modern “student-centered” approach, which emphasizes outputs in terms of student competencies. To create a consistent framework within which we can track student development and progress into competent business and management professionals as our mission states, the following five outcome dimensions across all courses and activities to evaluate the students:

Have demonstrated knowledge & understanding that is founded upon &extends and/or enhances that typically associated with bachelor’s degree level, &that provides a basis or opportunity for originality in developing and/or applying ideas, often within a research context.

Can apply their knowledge and understanding, and problem- solving abilities in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study.

Have the ability to integrate knowledge and handle complexity, and formulate decisions with incomplete or limited information, but that include reflecting on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgements.

Can communicate their conclusions, and the knowledge and rationale underpinning these, to specialist and non-specialist audiences clearly and unambiguously.

Have the learning skills to allow them to continue to study in a manner that may be largely self-directed or autonomous.
