The Post Graduate Diploma in International Marketing was initiated by Department of Commerce, Delhi School of Economics in 1985. The Ministry of Commerce, Government of India and the International Trade Center, Geneva identified the department as a suitable institution for running a specialized programme in the field of international trade and business. This diploma programme was upgraded to two-year full time masters degree programme called MIB in 1995. In 2001, our college under the leadership of our esteemed Principal, applied to Delhi School of Economics to restart the PGDIM programme in our college. After three year of hard struggle in 2004, we got the approval from University to start this programme. At present, the students of the first two batches are well placed in the corporate world and the college is running its third batch.

Pedagogy
The PGDIM programme is one-year full time consisting of two academic semesters starting from August to December and January to June. This programme is open to all graduate students from different streams. Admission is based on entrance examination followed by group discussion and interviews conducted by the University of Delhi held at the college. So, this programme encapsulates diverse educational background and knowledge of the students. The sophisticated applications, the curriculum, faculty and state of the art facilities are all directed towards a common goal of providing the students with incisive business acumen.

Learning methodology
It involves lectures, case studies, Individual and Group exercises. Besides the traditional faculty student interaction, the programme encourages the participation of experts from industry, academics and international organizations. For this, a series of Special Lectures is organized every semester on topics like marketing, strategic, finance, logistics, international business, marketing research and stock market etc. Some of the esteemed guests who have visited our college are: Mr. Kavi Kumar, Corporate Head, India Bulls Securities Pvt Ltd, Nitish Dipankar, Wealth Manager, Standard Chartered Bank, Mr. Sanjay Chand, Executive Director, Chapman Freeborn Air Logistics, Mr. Anil Jha, Operations Manager, Market Probe India Ltd., Mrs. Dimple Gupta, CEO, Global Strategic Consultants., Mr. H. S. Dutta, Consultant, Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Dr. Munish Kumar, Department of Financial Studies, South Campus, University Of Delhi, Dr. Bhanumurti, Professor, Delhi School Of Economics, Prof. S.R.Khanna, Department of Commerce, DSE, Rohit Mehtani, Consultant, Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Mr. Iqbal Sachdeva, Media & Communication Specialist, Mr. Anand Sharma, CFO, M/s Satellite Group etc
.
International Marketing Inc.
The students of PGDIM take upon themselves the task of assisting in the management of the course and co-ordination of various activities that are inseparable part of any quality program. International Marketing Inc. (IM Inc.), a multidimensional student body of PGDIM ensures a common platform for the students to communicate with the industry and enchase their professional skills.
A number of committees function under the umbrella of IM Inc. such as event management, special lecture, and placement etc. The students divide themselves into various committees in order to efficiently manage all the activities, at the same time getting hands on experience of working within a formal framework.
Port Visit
Logistics, EXIM proceeding and documentation being an integral part of the PGDIM curriculum, the port visit is a special event for the students of PGDIM. The First batch went to JNPT port, Mumbai, the second batch to Paradeep port and the third batch to Marmagaon port in Goa.

Project Report
Every student is required to prepare a project report on the topic of his choice in conformity with the Project Screening Committee under the supervision of a guide. The project is an integral part of the course and an essential requirement for the grant of the Diploma alongside being an inherent component of the evaluation mechanism.

Summer Training
After the culmination of the teaching sessions in mid-April in the second semester every student has to undergo a Summer Internship for a minimum period of six to eight weeks. Being an integral part of the course structure, it also serves as a platform for final placements as the internship modules get converted it into Pre Placement Offers.
Business Meets and Conferences
Our student's furtherer increases their acumen by attending various high profile business meets conferences etc. The second batch volunteered to organize the 4th international conference on 'Globalization and Sectional development', jointly organized by Academy of International Business, India chapter and IIlM, New Delhi in February 2006. The students won many accolades for their skills, organization, discipline and hard work.
A team of two students from the present batch participated as semi finalists in ‘Quiz-Wiz’ held at Indore in which 20000 students took part across the country .

Convergence
An annual festival of PGDIM is organized every year in month of March. In 2006, the second batch organized a mock stock market event along with their events like make your Business Plan, Amne Samne etc. More than 100 intercollege teams participated in it.

Guys as the above post tells u the course has been restarted just 2 yrs ago and i am in the 3rd batch under affiliation of the delhi school of economics. As far as the infrastructure is concerned trust me we have the most brilliant library in the whole delhi university and ur always welcome to certify that , its a tripple storied fully airconditioned and automated library and is indeed a true spectacle. As far as our daily requirement goes the classes are spacious not air conditioned but very well ventilated, the medium of study is entirely through LCD's and OHP slide presentations.

Going on to the course content well i would not lie it is not very rigrous but certainly a fantastic value addition expedient, u get the feel of an MBA not resedential but trust me the curriculum will keep u at ur toes. Now as far as the faculty is concerned -IT IS TOP NOTCH- trust me guys i am so delighted for a fact that i got to intearct with the most fantastic brains from the literati and the corporate world. Our faculty though not fulll time at our place but they are teaching at institutes such as FMS, MDI, IIFT, IMT, XIMB,IIM lucknowetc. With the likes of Dr A.K.Seth from the Delhi school of Economics to Mr Anshumali Saxena currently VP of a leading KPO trust me no day at PGDIM is empty.
Corporate Interaction is kind of routine at PGDIM with eminent personalities from the corporate world visitng our campus quite regularly. I started off my first day with corporate head India Bulls visiting our campus and the list has gone on till date.

now the most imp part as far as i am concerned - CAMRADERIE the batch is small just about 40 students and trust me the diversity is tremendous however experienced candidates are at a premium. We have ppl from PHYSICS, MANAGMENT,ECO,BIoLOGY,pSYCHOLOGY,BUSINESS ECONOMICSh

etc in our batch and the mix really helps u learn from their perspective.
