PROJECTS


Project work is the best way to practice what you have learnt. The purpose of including Project report in the Post Graduate Diploma Programmes is to provide you an opportunity to investigate a problem by applying management concepts in a scientific manner. It enables you to apply your conceptual knowledge in a practical situation and to learn the art of conducting a study in a systematic way and presenting its findings in a coherent report.


TOPIC SELECTION

Selection of topic for the Project is extremely crucial. The topic chosen by you should be realistic, specific and one where related information is easily accessible. It must be related to your area of specialisation and should be something that interests you.


SYNOPSIS FORMAT

 Working Title
 Purpose
 Aim
 Objectives
 Hypothesis (or key questions)
 Outline of methodology
 Proposed


PROJECT SUBMISSION

Once the synopsis has been approved by AIMA-CME, the project to be submitted should be along the following lines:

 Title Page
 List of Contents
 List of Tables
 List of Figures
 Acknowledgements
 Preface
 Text (Main body of Dissertation)
 Appendices
 Bibliography

It is important to note that the Project must NOT be a mere description of an economic activity. It must address a well defined problem and seek to establish causal relationships, preferably through statistical analysis. The Project must seek to answer a specific question(s). The dependent variables and independent variables must be clearly specified and the relationship between dependent and independent variables should be examined. The focus should be on ANALYSIS and not description. Management concepts must invariably be used in the analysis contained in the Project.

In case of provisional progression in Module –4, project report can be submitted.

PROJECT SUBMISSION DATE

Project report can be submitted any time within 18 months of beginning of the module of which project work is a part of the course curriculum. After that Re-registration would be required.

Only One copy of Project has to be submitted at AIMA with approved copy of Synopsis and other details as per guidelines. Kindly ensure that the student has retained one copy of Project Report with him/ her as well for reference purpose

PRESENTATION OF WORK


(Applicable to assignments, project work and term-end exams)

The project topic is to be selected from the area of specialisation e.g. a student of PGDM with specialisation in Marketing Management, must have a major topic on Marketing only. A student of Professional Diploma in HRD, must do project work on any of the HR topics only.

Project and other work submitted to meet programme requirement need to reflect standards appropriate to documentation provided for business purposes as well as to meet standards relevant to an academic document. There is obviously no sharp division between these standards but the following may be useful comments.

Meeting business presentation standards will affect such things as conciseness of language, layout and the orientation of the content in ways suitable for business people.

Academic standards will be concerned with your ability to substantiate your points of view and arguments with referenced and researched material. This should be cited in an appropriate manner. Importantly, in assessing your work from an academic reference position, the Academic Evaluator will be looking for your capacity to locate your points of view within some sort of theoretical framework, usually derived from the material presented in the different subject areas. Photocopies of material used for reference can be attached.

It is expected that both standards will require you to demonstrate sound and sensible reasoning with a capacity to identify a changed situation or opportunity, analysis and diagnosis of such a situation, making recommendations, and developing implementation plans.

The qualities discussed above are not necessarily indicated by the quantity of information gathered but more by the careful selection of relevant information and by an understanding of the basis for selection of sufficiently relevant information. Nor is the presence of the qualities necessarily indicated by the volume and length of piece of work. In face, brevity and conciseness may be more important and indicate clearer thinking.

GRADE CLASSIFICATION AND POINT SYSTEM


The following grading system is followed :

Grade Points

A 4
A- 3.67
B+ 3.33
B 3

C+ 2.33
C 2
C- 1.67
F 0.33

Students in all the programmes except PhD are required to maintain a minimum grade point average of B- i.e. 2.67 to qualify in each Module. For individual subjects, minimum qualifying grade would be C- i.e. 1.67. For PhD, the minimum MGPA would be B i.e. 3.00 and for individual subjects, the minimum qualifying grade would be C i.e. 2.00.

UNSATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE / MISCONDUCT


UNSATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE

To qualify an individual course (subject) of a programme the minimum qualifying grade is C- (C in case of Ph.D Programme). But to qualify a module (generally a set of five courses) the average of the overall grades of all the courses of the module must be B- or above (B in case of Ph.D Programme). Hence, any grade below B- reflects unsatisfactory performance.

MISCONDUCT

Misconduct relates to any conduct that could be regarded by AIMA-CME as prejudicial to the AIMA-CME or its members or is likely to bring the AIMA-CME into disrepute. Misconduct could include, for example, cheating, impersonating in examinations, or plagiarism, or the misuse of confidential information for personal or organisational gain. Misconduct can lead to your expulsion from the programme.
