Hi

Have a few queries regarding the Project and Operations(P&O???) specialisation offered by DomS....i am planing to do an MDA in SCM or operations but when i came across this specialisation in DoMS...i was surprised as no insti offeres a projects & operations...so wrt to the courses offered what are the extra courses that one would need to study?...

How much of industry interaction does DoMS enjoy with respect to P&O...what are the firms that hire P&O candidates from DoMS?

How relevant is the course with respect to the current market?..as in the theory behind operations and SCM is what most B Schools would offer...what i wana know is if there is assistance provided by insti for certain certifications(..like SAP or APICS)..or does the insti have a tie up with organisations that do provide the same...

Thx....

There is no specialization in DoMS, IIT Madras per se. So there is no specialization for Projects & Operations. This is only the overarching function that we r talking about. It consists of core courses such as Operations Mgmt and SCM that are covered in the first yr. After that u may, for example decide to major in Operations and do a minor in Finance. So u can mix and match electives from Ops and Fin. The electives for Project & Operations are here: DoMS IIT Madras. There are no other extra courses required. This is what sets us apart from other institutes where ur bound by the boundaries defined by the specialization. Here u may also choose such electives that give u general mgmt degree rather than a specialization.

DoMS has a strong, dynamic and active relationship with the industry. We have a tie up with Caterpillar where in apart from recruiting for summers and finals, their executives come here for guest lectures and we also assist them in projects. We have a tie up with Oracle where apart from the project relationship that we have with CAT, we are involved in Beta Testing for their ERP and CRM softwares.

Other major recruiters for this function include Schulumberger, Ingersoll Rand and Lucas TVS.

The course is very industry-relevant as u can see that the best from the industry recruit from us and ensure that the course material stays relevant.

Currently we don't offer any tie-ups or certifications.

Schlumberger offers jobs in SCM, Procurement and Logistics.

.All electives listed are taught. We have faculty to teach each one of them. Its just that you must have sufficient numbers to choose them. So at the start of each quarter students choosing each function get together to decide the ones that they will be selecting.

After entering into an Ops firm a person may work in the fields mentioned above or distribution, product development, project management, etc.

The last rank a person had and converted for the batch of 07-09 was in the range of 1500s.

However, this might change this year depending upon the no of applicants and the marks scored by the applicants.
