The programme is designed on a schedule that minimises disruption of work and personal pursuits.

Participants will typically be on campus for a 7 day schedule of classroom learning once every 6th week. PGPMAX is a rigourous and challenging programme. The schedule will include full days of teaching and evenings will be used for guest lectures, projects, and group work. Participants will be required to stay on campus during those 7 days.

During the international immersion component of the programme, participants may have extended terms of 2 weeks. This is to derive full benefit of the visits abroad and to reduce travel expenses.

This programme format allows them to continue working and attend a programme that is equal in rigour and content to an Executive MBA programme.

The general format is represented in the figure below. For exact dates refer to the programme calendar.
