IIM Udaipur - PGPX - Class of 2018 aspirants

Dear Aspirants, we are very pleased to start this year's thread.  PGPX is a dual degree program that is a full partnership between IIMU and the prestigious Krannert School of Management at Purdue University in the United States, one of the world leaders in the Supply Chain Management domain. It is a 15 month's full-time residential program and admission is through the GMAT.

Unlike other one year programs which include a short international component, PGPX offers a full semester of five months at Purdue University where students have access to world-class faculty and facilities and the chance to learn and work with students from all parts of the world.

The 15 month PGPX offers a similar range of electives, demands equal academic rigor and uses the same grading criteria as a two year MBA.

It is designed specifically for students with diverse and extensive work experience - a minimum of 2.5 years. Their experience is integrated into all aspects of the program including course work, projects, and company interactions.

Students graduate with an MS-GSCM degree from Purdue and a Post Graduate Diploma for Executives with a specialization in GSCM from IIM Udaipur.

Hello Admin,

Hi,

I would be interested to apply for the PGPX program. The intial query i have is regarding the accepatbility of indian 3 yr Undergarduate degree in U.S context.

As far as i am aware Purdue would demand 16 years of eductaion where as i am holding a 3 year undergadutae(15 yr education) from a reputed indian  university generally accepted in india.


Will Purdue be willing to accept 15 yr?? or they would demand additional 1 year coursework.


Awaiting a response.
