However, if you are interested in this program but your institute is not one of our partner institutes, then you should get in touch with us as well as the dean of your institute to work things out. We welcome institutes to partner with us in our endeavor to provide cross-cultural exposure to budding managers of tomorrow.

Timelines:

You must apply at least two months prior to the commencement of the respective term.

Students can participate in the Exchange Programme during:

Term V     :    Early September to Mid December

A short orientation session is conducted for the exchange students prior to the commencement of the term. For further details please refer to the List of Courses given below.

Procedure

A formal letter from the Dean of your Institute certifying that you are a bonafide student of the Institute and confirming your selection for the exchange program must be submitted to us at least two months prior to the commencement of the term. This is to ensure that you can apply for a visa as early as possible. You are also required to send us your CV (Curriculum Vitae).

The objective of the STudent Exchange Program (STEP) is to provide students with increased exposure to cultures and business practices other than their own. Keeping in mind today’s dynamic global business environment, IIMC has placed a strong emphasis on international student exchange programs as a means to equip students with cross-cultural exposure and train them in global business ethics to complement their knowledge of the Indian business scenario. STEP is another “step” in this direction. Under STEP, the students of IIM Calcutta get an opportunity to spend one term in major business schools around the world. The exchange program also enables overseas students from prestigious partner business schools to experience first-hand, share ideas, insights and experiences with the IIMC community.

Academic Calendar

The course duration of PGDM and PGDCM is two years. Each academic year is divided into three terms. The academic calendar is generally as follows: -

Courses Offered:

The curriculum requirements are assessed in terms of course credits. Each course is assigned 3 credit hours with a minimum of 30 contact hours spread over a quarter. A student has to take six courses in a term on credit. In addition, a student is also allowed to take a maximum of three non-credit courses. The student can choose from a wide range of electives. Courses are available in diverse disciplines of management including Behavioral Sciences, Economics, Finance, Marketing, Systems, Strategy, Environment, Human Resource, Operations, Regional Development, and Sociology.

Method of Instruction

The language of instruction is English. The institute believes that the method of instruction for maximizing learning should vary from course to course, and therefore, uses a host of pedagogic approaches in different courses. Case studies, lectures, group and individual exercises, class projects and simulation of business environment are used in various courses

Grading System

Students are graded on a 9-point scale as follows:

Students who have obtained ‘F’ in a particular subject may appear for re-examination. Grades obtained on re-examination will however be adjusted downwards.

Grade Conversions

The grade points awarded during the course of study at the institute are converted to the parent school’s scale according to their specific conversion method. For foreign students, we give grades converted to the European Credit Transfer Scheme System, which are further convertible to the grade system of your university. Each course at IIMC is assigned three credit hours, which is equivalent to six credits under the ECTS.

Study Facilities

The exchange students will be provided the same services as regular students, viz. library, computing facilities, extranet account, etc.

Living Costs

The post graduate programs are residential. All exchange students will be provided with single room accommodation on campus. The cost of living in Calcutta is approximately Rs. 5,000 per month ($1 = Rs. 40 approx.).
