Dear Prospective Students,


We are 2013 batch students of the Public Policy and Management (PGPPM) course at IIM Bangalore and will be more than happy to share our experiences so far and clarify any questions you may have.


Quick Summary of the Course:

The PGPPM course has emerged as the premier public policy programme in India. It is a unique programme designed to strengthen the public policy and managerial skills of future leaders and senior managers from the civil services, and of professionals from Social, Infrastructure and Private sectors.


The course is especially suitable for candidates wanting to work in policy making and public system. It will be of interest to professionals from CSR, NGOs, Think Tanks, Public Sector PSUs, Infrastructure and Social sectors. This program will enable them to take up key positions in the fields of policy formulation, implementation and evaluation with International and Indian agencies as well as Consultancy organizations.

Hi,

am too eager to be the part of this programme.
My profile:

Group-B officer in State Department of Rural and Agriculture Development(Agriculture Investment and Infrastructure Development)-4 years

Planning and Monitoring Officer (Agriculture and Rural Development) in State Department of Research and Planning -3 years

Senior Project Manager (Agriculture and Rural Investment and Infrastructure) in Centre for Agricultural Policy and Research-4 years

Chief Manager(Agri and Social Infrastructure) in a leading private sector bank-1 year

My queries are:

1. I have GRE score,is it acceptable? or GMAT is mandatory?


2. Since this course has been started with initial support from UNDP,is there any Memorandum between IIMB and UNDP as a commitment to recruit open candidates for their (UNDP) programme? or,UNDP is willing to recruit/hand pick appropriate open candidate for their programme?

Of course,am willing to work in UNDP as my profile has more affinity towards their line of activity.


3.Any other consulting organisation have extended their commitment/willingness to recruit/hand pick the open candidate?


4.Whether this batch will have the opportunity as like that of the previous one ,in gaining hands on experience by meeting with world bank representative and parliament ministries?Or, it has been dropped?


5. Probable interview questions we may expect from admission committee?


Regards

Hi,

I am interested to be a part of this program. I have two questions

1. While applying for pgppm, do we need to submit an essay? If yes, then please give some some details about the suggested topics(for the essay) etc.

2. I am an MCA with more 6.5 years of experience in IT sectors. Though I don't have experience in the public policy sphere, I do have keen interest to have a career in this field (I had tried to get through IAS before). So, how good I stand considering I don't have relevant experience?

Thanks

Siriyal
