The Alumni Association of the Postgraduate Institute of Management (PIM), which offers the premier MBA degree in the country, has designed an ambitious calendar of events through unique public interest (PI) programmes aimed at continuous professional development (CPD) of its members as well as networking

Under the title of ‘Counterpoint’, PIMA will invite iconic leaders of business and industry to show how they succeeded in their chosen careers through deviating from the norm followed by frank debate among members.

Under the CPD programmes, PIMA will offer corporates the opportunity of three-month long, 13-series customized programmes for their executive and management staff on ‘Developing Managers for the Future’. This programme has in fact gained recognition as a mini MBA for business executives.

PIMA will also launch a Trust Fund which will initiate the conducting of research to ascertain the degree of employability, image and recognition of PIM Alumni vis-à-vis other MBA graduates.
