International Immersion Programme (IIP)
FORE School of Management (FSM) organizes International Immersion Programmes (IIP) annually as a complimentary part of all its full-time Post-Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) programmes. It is a compulsory part of the curriculum of PGDM, PGDM (International Business), PGDM (Financial Management) and PGDM (Big Data Analytics). The IIP is held in the first-year (preferably in Term-3) of the PGDM programmes at different international locations with our international partner institutions. The objective of the programme is to provide students wholesome and experiential learning through an exposure to international business scenarios and global best practices in their respective areas of specialization. The immersion involves 15 hours of in-class course spread over 5-days in an elective of choice along with industrial, corporate, and experiential learning visits at any one of the international partner institutions abroad.
The International Immersion Programme is subject to the safe international traveling conditions during the period of travel and the Institute reserves the right to cancel the same in a pandemic like situation. The decision of choice of an international location/institution for the IIP for each PGDM elective is of the institution (FSM) and final.
