XLRI Jamshedpur launches PG Diploma in Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Venture Creation 

Jamshedpur, May 22: B-school XLRI Jamshedpur has launched the Post Graduate Diploma in Management in Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Venture Creation (PGDM-IEV) this year.

The programme provides students with skills, analytical tools, perspectives, and experiences that prepare them for careers as autonomous entrepreneurs, family-business entrepreneurs, or entrepreneurs in corporate settings. Whether a student wants to start a business while in school, join an emerging business, give impetus to a family business, or set the groundwork to launch a new firm later in his or her career, the programme aims to provide preparation for all of these exciting options. 

The special strength of this programme is that it combines theory with practice, providing students the opportunity to test the theories, models, and strategies learned in the classroom by creating real business plans, working on other field projects, and gaining access and insight from leaders in the entrepreneurial business community. Applications to the programme are still open and the last date for applying in 31st May, 2022.

It is a full-time AICTE-approved course in entrepreneurship by XLRI which offers structured long-term support for aspiring entrepreneurs by combining management education with incubation/acceleration. It approaches management education from the view point of startups and it is designed to deliver learning which is relevant and useful to entrepreneurs. As a result of this progressing and integrative approach, an aspiring entrepreneur/student doesn’t have to choose between an MBA and starting their own venture.

There are two tracks in the programme: Startup Track – For those who wish to start a new venture from scratch: Family Business Track – For those who wish to continue in their family business, strengthen it and take in exciting new directions.

Fr Paul Fernandes, Director XLRI Said “Many students seek that their education equips them to be more than just job-seekers. They wish to follow their passion and be job-creators.” More information can be found on the XLRI website.
