A student enrolled in the PGDM programme is required to complete 43.5 credits from the Elective courses spread over Term-3 in the First year, and Term-4 to Term-6 in the Second year of the Two Year Programme.

FORE School of Management offers dual specialization to all the students enrolled in its programmes. This means that a student may specialize in at the most two Areas. In order to specialize in any Area, a student needs to take 15 credits of electives in the chosen Area of specialization. This requirement of 15 credits is both minimum and maximum. Students are not permitted to specialize in any third Area, they are not allowed to opt for more than 9 credits out of the balance credit of courses from any ONE particular Area.
In order to provide the students opportunities to specialize in their Area of choice, each Sentient Area offers Elective courses. The Sentient Area may specify certain Elective courses as Specialization Area Pre-requisite (SAPR) courses that must be taken by those students who have chosen that Area to Specialize in.
The Elective courses are offered by the following Sentient Areas:
Note: The list of elective courses, including those specified as SAPR, is indicative and tentative. Students may opt for these courses subject to specialization requirements, availability, eligibility, limitations on class size, etc.
