4. INVITATION FROM CHAIRPERSON - MIP
Dear Patron,
I have immense pleasure in presenting before you, the 30th batch of PGDM students numbering 302
and a relatively smaller 3rd batch of 24 PGDM-Healthcare students. These students have been
handpicked by us after putting them through a rigorous selection process to ensure high input quality
and hence they happen to be some of the brightest minds in our country. Over two years they would be
exposed not only to a highly competitive academic environment, but also to a host of events meant to
hone their managerial skills.
With students from such diverse educational backgrounds, ranging from Biotechnology to Law and
Pharmacy to aeronautics, it is my belief that no matter what the type of organization yours is, you would
be able to find at least one suitable candidate to handle any assignment.
The support you had extended for summer placements 2012 was overwhelming, with 64 top notch

PGDM - HEALTHCARE (HC)
Manipal is host to a large number of
institutions offering medical education
and hence TAPMI, with more than 25 years
of experience in management education,
has a unique advantage to offer a world-
class management programme in this
field. This 2 year programme was
approved by AICTE on 18th August 2010.
Essentially, it is a Management
programme with healthcare orientation,
because of which, the foundation courses
for 1st year would be similar to that of
regular PGDM. However, for the 2nd year,
both the compulsory/elective courses are
exclusive to healthcare management.
