Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Business Design) is a 2 year Full time Masters level program which combines the conceptual knowledge about various subjects related to Innovation, Creativity and Design Management with those of advanced business skills in order to create a breed of future managers who have a unique blend of management competencies and design thinking.

Since conventional programs do not allow students much flexibility to challenge or question existing business rules he does not acquire the ability to think out of box. This program thus provides a unique opportunity for students to not merely learn the conventional and time tested methods and business rules but also ignites their latent creative skills and teaches them the way designers think and more importantly marry the two so that design becomes a backbone for everything that a manager does in business.

Diploma in Commodities Market (DICM)

Commodities Trading is a global phenomenon and offers tremendous potential to market participants for both profit taking on small price corrections as well as to hedgers looking at managing price risk on account of price fluctuations.

In developed markets, futures trading are conservatively 10 times the size of cash market in commodities. If they consider the fact that in the US, where the futures trading is almost 20 times that of the cash market production, it would only be fair to suggest that their futures market would be a very large and deep market, easily many times more than that of the securities market.

This placement season saw an whooping average domestic salary of Rs 13.96 lakhs. The median salary is 14.50 lakhs – what this says is that there were more salaries on the higher side of the average and not just a few top salaries pulling the average up. They say placements this season are facing a slump across the country. SJMSOM placements seem to say otherwise – 3 job offers for each student to choose from. That’s more than likely to happen when 53 top notch companies vie for 53 students and make 153 offers! Consulting, Finance, Operations, IT, Marketing, Leadership – name a management profile, and you have the crème de la crème of recruiters offering it at SOM.
