I) Course and Curriculum

The academic session of IMT Ghaziabad for the batch of 2015 is divided into 7 terms.
Term 1 to 3are common for everyone. Students have to study the same subjects and work on
projects.
Term 4is only for the students who choose not to go on the foreign exchange program. For those
who go to international universities, attend a term there, and their respective grade is adjusted as
per certain algorithms so that the entire school is graded uniformly.
Term 5is only for those students who are not on LSIP (Long Summer Internship Programme). LSIP is
company specific and entirely depends on the projects and requirements of the companies that
come for summer placements drive to the campus. LSIP in totality may be for five or six months. The
students who are on SIP (not LSIP) attend the fifth term in college which includes 7 electives and 2
core subjects. The details for the subjects will be shared following the introduction.
Term 6is for everybody. Again, 7 electives and 2 core subjects are to be taken up.
Term 7is for the students who were on LSIP. They study the two core subjects from Term 5 (that
they had missed). Term 7 is also for those students who had selected certain electives (Out of the
total 14 electives). The reasons may be either pre-defined or ad-hoc (faculty availability, batch
strength for that elective etc.)
Term 2 is the term during which the Summer Internship Placement Drive takes place. Similarly,
Term 6 is the term during which the Final Placement Drives takes place. Both these drives are
rolling processes that may carry on till subsequent terms, till the batch is placed.

The fourth terms consists of four subjects, each for three credits. Apart from these, there are also
credits for Workshops and Simulation events.
Students then select their electives for the next year (Term 5, 6 and 7) in the fourth termby an
online application that is accessible in the college computer labs. People on Exchange Programs and
DCP choose their respective electives via e-mail.
The electives for Term 5 and 6 are as below:
The first text column is for the Track: Sales, Marketing and Business Development (Marketing)
The second text column is for the Track: Finance & Banking (Finance)
The third text column is for the Track: People & Processes (HR)
The fourth text column is for the Track: Solutions & Consulting (IT)
The fifth text column is for the Track: Strategic Management
A student has to select 7 electives for each term (5 and 6). Out of these, 4 must be from only one
track that becomes the specialization track for the student. The rest 3 can be all from the same or
different track(s). Again, for the 7 electives in the next term (Term 6), the 4 must be from the
specialization track of the student, whereas the other 3 may or may not be from the same track (but
the specialization track). To understand this, consider the example:
Let the specialization track for the student be denoted by A. The subjects under this track will
become A1, A2, and so on.
Let other tracks be B, C, D, and E.
Now, for Term 5:
The student has to choose A1, A2, A3, and A4 as the four electives (of the specialization).
The other three electives could be either
B1, B2, B3 or
B1, C1, D1 or
B1, B2, C1 and likewise.
For Term 6:
The student has to choose A5, A6, A7, and A8 as the four electives (of the specialization).
The other three electives could be either
B4, B5, B6 or
B4, C4, D4 or
B4, B5, C4 and likewise.
If a student has a combination of (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and B6) as their
electives and a company comes offering students for a profile that it opens for only B, then the
student wont be eligible for that company.
