New MBA batch at PIM

The Postgraduate Institute of Management (PIM), inaugurated its MBA programme 2013/14 in December 2012. The student-managers who qualified to follow the Institute's premier MBA programme successfully completed a written test and an interview.

The selected candidates are from the private sector and junior and senior level managers.

The Guest of Honour at the inauguration of the MBA programme was Lalith Weeratunga, Secretary to the President. Prof. Uditha Liyanage, Director, PIM, Dr. Wickrema Weerasooria, Dr. Travis Perera and Dr. Ajantha Dharmasiri of the Institute's faculty addressed the gathering.

PIM pioneered the MBA programme in Sri Lanka over 25 years ago and continues to offer the leading MBA programme in Sri Lanka. PIM offers its new MBA programme which is aimed at developing five key competencies in a challenging, yet enjoyable setting, that enables its participants to strike the vital work-life-learn balance.

PIM's MBA programme has been re-engineered, based on the Institute's experience of conducting the programme for over twenty-five years and the emerging needs of today's competitive local and global markets.

The programme spans a period of two years and moves logically and sequentially from courses on Management Foundations to Integrative Studies, followed by Elective Courses and Research Paper/Project. The programme is structured on robust theoretical foundations and immediate practical applications. Action-learning that is facilitated by assignments and project work, helps students to relate the cutting-edge knowledge they gather to their world-of-work.

The new MBA programme is designed to help the busy working manager. It is the Institute's experience that those who enjoy their study, do best in the programme, and it is the Institute's endeavour to provide a rich learning experience that would transform student-managers into outstanding leaders and achievers.
