EDC launched PGP-CEM in March 2010. Whilst two batches have already completed their course successfully, XLRI is at the threshold of launching the third round of this innovative course.

The objective of the programme will be to help build effective and successful entrepreneurs, desiring to create new enterprises and to also enhance the skills of those who are currently managing their own entities. The course, commencing from this July, will be taught and pursued in a manner so as to encourage critical and lateral thinking and integrate theory with practice.

The core curriculum ensures that courses included will contain general inputs on functional areas of business like finance, marketing, strategy, human resource etc, as well as fields of specific interest related to entrepreneurial development in India like family business, women entrepreneurship, social enterprises etc.

Eligibility for this course requires a graduation certificate from a recognised university. Applicants will be subject to a round of personal interview and, if needed, group discussion for final selection for the course. The course fee, fixed at Rs 55,000 (along with Service Tax and Education Cess), should be paid in two equal installments. The last date for applying is May 30, 2012.
