Chairperson Post Graduate Programme

The Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP) at the Indian Institute of Management
Bangalore attracts bright young people from various streams of education. The curriculum of the
programme, which is constantly reviewed, is benchmarked against that of top global MBA
programmes. As a result, we are consistently ranked high among the top business schools around
the world. IIM Bangalores PGP has been ranked 19th in the Financial Times Global Masters in
Management 2016. With world class faculty, a quality curriculum and excellent resources, the PGP
produces 400 sharp and innovative leaders every year.
The PGP at IIMB is unique in several ways, one of which is the global exposure that you will get as
part of the Student Exchange Programme. You will get to collaborate with your peers from top
global management schools in international workshops and projects. Such exposure will help you
understand what it takes to lead businesses in a global market.
The PGP is also working on infusing an entrepreneurial mindset among students and has a greater
emphasis than ever before on entrepreneurial thinking. We have a world class entrepreneurial
development centre called the N S Raghavan Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (NSRCEL), which
nurtures budding entrepreneurs and student run ventures. As more young Indians now seek to
become job creators and with Bangalore being the national capital for startups, we have made
entrepreneurship education a part of our PGP. Some of our students are working on businesses
that are socially relevant too.
As you enter the portals of IIMB, you will experience a stimulating learning environment. A
significant part of your learning will be through group exercises and term projects. Over a period
of time, you will appreciate the value of learning from your peers. And, you will discover the truth
behind our motto, Tejasvi naavadhitamastu (Let our learning be radiant) in IIMB.
As you progress through the programme, you will get an opportunity to choose from a large
number of electives offered every term. The electives range from quantitative models to people
management. Our faculty members continuously review their courses and introduce new and
relevant ones. You will also get to learn a foreign language and do a project course.
Apart from providing you with world-class learning infrastructure, which includes a fabulous
library, digital learning resources and specialized labs, we offer a plethora of sports and cultural
activities. We have over thirty student-run clubs for you to choose from and we give you wonderful
opportunities to participate in global business school competitions and culture fests.
While promising you an exciting and fulfilling journey with us, I would like to reiterate our vision:
We build leaders and entrepreneurs through holistic, transformative and innovative education.
You will experience how deeply we are committed to our vision during your time with us.
A very warm welcome to IIMB!

Best wishes,
M S Narasimhan

OVERVIEW
IIM Bangalore was founded in 1973 with the charter to be a centre of excellence in management
education. Since then, it has kept pace with Indias changing environment and has reoriented its activities
to address the needs of all sectors. IIM Bangalore offers one of the most competitive two-year Post
Graduate Management programmes in the world and has the unique privilege of educating some of the
best young talent in the country.

This booklet is designed to provide information about the programme and its guidelines. Students are
required to read the guidelines carefully and adhere to them during their stay at IIM Bangalore.

Registration
Students must register on the first day of each term.

Late registration can be allowed only with prior permission. However, late registration fines will apply.

Students who do not register on the first day of the term or seek permission for late registration,
will have to drop out from the term and take it in the next academic year to complete their academic
requirements.

This is a full-time programme and hence students are not allowed to take employment and earn any
income during this period.
Late Registration (Term II onwards)
Students are required to register on the morning of the first day of each term. Late registration is
possible in exceptional cases with the permission of the Chairperson (PGP).

Late Registration fee is 10,000 a day.

Students are advised to be on campus on the day before registration. The date of registration is
sacrosanct.

Courses
The following types of courses are offered during the programme:

Core Courses: These are compulsory courses offered in the first year. Most of these courses will earn 3
credits.

Electives: Students have to register for 3 elective courses of 3 credit each, along with the core courses, in
the third term of the first year. Students will be allowed to take elective courses provided they have taken
all the core courses in Terms I and II and have registered for Term III. In the second year, one has to register
for elective courses to earn a minimum of 45 credits to complete the course. An elective is offered only when
a minimum of 20 students sign up for it.

Course Outlines: Students will be provided with course outlines of the electives they have chosen. The
course outlines are posted online. Every course outline will cover the following:

Objectives and Pedagogy of the course

Prerequisites, if any (in case of elective courses)
Session-wise details of topics, required readings, additional readings and assignments
Scheme of evaluation and weightages, as well as attendance policy

Credits: The Institute uses the concept of credits to define the weightage of a course in the curriculum.
Courses earn between one and three credits, depending on the indicated workload for each course. The
thumb rule is that a three-credit course involves about 100 hours of work, about 30% of which is in the
classroom and the balance outside the class in preparation and assignments. One and two credit courses
would have a proportionately less workload.
Courses & Credits- First Year
During the first year, a student is required to do 16 core courses and 3 electives. The first year
consists of three terms and the term-wise course details are given in the following table:

Summer Internship
Between the end of Term III and the start of Term IV, all PGP students with less than 34 months of work
experience are required to work in an organization for a minimum of eight weeks. All students opting for
the internship are governed by the following rules:

Students are evaluated by the project guide of the respective organizations. A student is required
to get a satisfactory rating on the evaluation to complete the programme and award of diploma.
Immediately after the internship, it is the prime responsibility of the students to submit the filled-in
Summer Internship Evaluation Report (SIER) form, duly signed by the project guide, to the Career
Development Services (CDS) office at IIMB. A student with an Unsatisfactory report is required
to take an additional three-credit course to meet the criteria for the award of diploma.
If a student who has embarked on a Summer Internship fails to complete it, it is mandatory to
repeat it in the following year before the award of diploma.

Students need to submit a hard copy and a CD of the project report to the CDS Office within the
prescribed deadline, failing which it is deemed that the student has not fulfilled the academic requirement
of the PGP. If the project report is confidential, the student should submit a hard copy of the abridged
version of the report along with a letter from the organization confirming that the report is confidential.

All summer internship formalities must be completed by the student before arriving on campus for the
Registration of term IV.

Any Report of adverse nature or misconduct by the student during the period of internship shall result in
disciplinary action taken by the PGP committee.

Courses and Credits (Second Year)

The student should get a minimum 45 credits in electives over three terms in the second year. The details
regarding credit distribution are as follows:

Credits Term IV Term V Term VI

Minimum 12 12 9
Maximum 18 18 18

Students select elective courses through bidding process. The Academic Council will coordinate the course
selection process. During the first week, a student can choose to add or drop a course subject to certain
conditions imposed by the institute from time to time.

Courses during Exchange

Students who go on an exchange programme during Term V must take the full course load for students at their
respective university, taking only post-graduate level courses that amount to not less than 120 contact hours
over the exchange term. At the most, a student can take credit for 30 additional contact hours beyond
120, provided the course is approved by the Office of International Affairs (OIA) Committee. Thus, a
student must earn 12-15 credits while on exchange. If a student takes more than 15 credits for some reasons
and approved by the OIA office, the credit from the exchange programme is restricted to 15. A student
failing in a course while on exchange will not earn any credit from it. The credits for courses in each exchange
university will be released by the OIA.

Students who fail to earn the required credits from the exchange programme will have to take up
additional course work at IIMB in the term VI of the same year or in the next academic year.
Registering for such additional course work is subject to meeting the requirements of the minimum
and maximum credits in a term. Students will not be awarded the diploma till they complete the academic
requirements.

No student on an exchange programme will be allowed to leave before the end of the previous term or
arrive late for the following term. Such students will be marked absent. If a students exchange term
ends later than the start of the sixth term at IIMB, S/he can register with prior permission provided it
is not more than one week. However, even with prior permission, no attendance waiver will be granted
for the days missed, and fines for late registration will apply.
Any Report of adverse nature or misconduct by the student during the period of Student Exchange shall
result in disciplinary action taken by the PGP committee.

Courses of Special Interest

During the second year, a student can take a maximum of six credits from courses that are not counted
towards their CGPA calculation. These courses are counted for credit requirement and graded has Excellent,
Good, Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory without any grade points. A student cannot take more than two such
courses in the second year. These courses are:

Contemporary Concerns Study (CCS)

Dissertation Course
Language Course
Workshop Course

Contemporary Concerns Study (CCS)

CCS Carries three credits and can be done either in Term IV, V or VI. Each CCS can have a maximum of
two students. Students cannot take more than one CCS per term.

CCS Reports

A detailed report of the work done must be submitted for courses of independent study within the
deadline. The report must give citations of all references and material used in preparing the report. If it is
found that the material has been taken from other sources, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken
against the student on grounds of plagiarism.

CCS Evaluation

The evaluation of CCS projects will be qualitative. There will be two components of evaluation:

Mid-Term Evaluation (30%)

Students are expected to give a work plan for the entire CCS and the faculty guide will carry
out a mid-term appraisal based on the same.

Final Report (70%)

Based on the mid-term evaluation of the work plan and the final report, the faculty guide
evaluates the CCS.

Dissertation Course

Students must be in the top 20% of the batch at the end of the first year to be able to enroll for the
Dissertation Course. This will be a six-credit course and will be done between Term V and VI. The grades
will be distributed equally between Terms V and VI for the purpose of computing credit requirements. The
Dissertation Course must be done individually.

Proposals: Students are expected to meet their prospective guides and discuss their draft proposals. Only
after the approval of the guide, the proposal will be forwarded to the Area Chair for approval. After the
Area Chair has approved the proposal, the student should submit the approved project proposal signed
by the faculty guide and the Area Chair to the PGP Office. The proposal must contain the following sub-
headings and provide necessary information under each sub-heading:

Title of the Dissertation

Name of the guide
Name and roll number of the student
Need for the proposed work
Brief description of the Dissertation
Methodology
Detailed work plan along with time schedule
Expected outcome
References (list books, articles, online sources etc. in detail)

Language Courses

In addition to the CCS and the Dissertation, there are foreign language courses in the second year which
also award three credits. A student can take only one language course.

Workshop Courses

Several workshop courses are offered during terms or between terms so as to provide a wide exposure to
students on a range of current topics. The workshop courses may be offered over 2-3 days continuously
based on their pedagogical requirements.

Evaluation
All courses of special interest discussed above are evaluated on qualitative basis as Excellent, Good,
Satisfactory, and Unsatisfactory. If a student secures unsatisfactory grade in any of these courses, she/he
will not get any credit for the course. The student needs take additional courses in subsequent terms or in
the following year to fulfil the minimum credit requirement for graduation.

Evaluation Procedure
The evaluation procedure for PGP involves:

Course-wise evaluation
Overall assessment in the first year of PGP
Qualitative assessment of Summer Internship
Overall assessment in the second year of PGP
Overall assessment of the entire PGP

Attendance Requirements
IIMB expects students to attend all sessions in all courses - core and electives. Students whose
attendance is less than 80% will be penalized one grade point.

Faculty members can stipulate higher attendance requirement above 80% and give additional marks
as incentive or penalize by way of reducing marks for attendance short-fall. This implies that faculty
members can stipulate greater penalty, but not lesser, than what is mentioned in the bullet point
above.

Core Courses:
 Students who fail to attend minimum 50% of the sessions will not get any credit for the
course(s). They need to repeat the course(s) in the subsequent year and only on completion of the
course, the student will be promoted to PGP-2.

Students who secure attendance between 50% and 79% will lose 1 Grade Point as penalty.

Elective Courses:
Students who secure attendance between 50% and 79% will lose 1 Grade Point as penalty.

Students who secure attendance below 50% will lose 2.50 Grade Point as penalty.

Also,
The PGP Office will maintain a record of attendance for all courses and this will be forwarded to the
teaching faculty concerned for final decision to release the grades. It is the responsibility of students
to swipe the card for attendance. The percentage of attendance will also be reflected in the grade
sheet.

Attendance requirements will be waived only in case of prolonged illness involving hospitalization
at the discretion of the PGP Chairperson.

Attendance waiver will not be granted on minimum attendance for participating in extracurricular
activities such as conferences, competitions, seminars and sports events, even if the student is
representing the Institute.

Since most courses have continuous evaluation, students are strongly advised to be regular as lack
of attendance can severely affect their academic performance.

Attendance for sessions is registered when students swipe their attendance cards. The window for
swapping cards will open 15 minutes prior to commencement of the class and will close at the time
of commencement of the class. Students are therefore advised to be present in class sufficiently in
advance so that they have enough time to swipe their cards before the commencement of the class.

Students are responsible for registering their attendance for a session by swiping their attendance
card, failing of which they will lose attendance for the session, even if they were present for the
entire session. There is no provision for providing manual attendance.

Leave of Absence
Students are expected to attend scheduled classes, orientation sessions and exams/quizzes during
terms as indicated in the academic calendar. Under extraordinary circumstances, students may
obtain leave of absence by submitting an application to the PGP Chairperson by email or in person.
The decision of the Chairperson to grant leave is final.

Absence from class/Institute without permission will be considered a serious breach of discipline
and the Institute will be free to take appropriate action, including expulsion.
 Leave of absence on medical grounds: The student must submit a leave application to the
PGP Office as soon as s/he falls ill. The concerned student may be asked to present a medical fitness
certificate, duly endorsed by the Institutes doctor, before being allowed to rejoin the Programme.

Notwithstanding any of the reasons such as illness, hospitalization, personal and professional issues,

The student must pass the courses offered in the term/quarter. In case s/he has not written the
(mid and end term) examinations, s/he is unlikely to pass the course. The final grade or the decision
to pass/fail the student is the prerogative of the concerned teaching faculty.

Even if s/he passes the courses, the attendance will have to be at least 50%, i.e., if a student gets a
pass grade but does not have at least 50% attendance, the student will have to repeat the course
(in case of core course) / lose 2.5 grade points (in case of an elective course). Please note that this
is applicable even if there is a genuine reason to miss 50% of classes.

Proxy
1. A student is not permitted to leave class without the faculty members permission. Similarly, late
entry into the class is not allowed without the permission of the faculty member. The PGP Office
will conduct periodic checks to ensure that all students who have swiped their attendance cards are
physically present in class. Students will be penalized according to the rules mentioned below, if
found to be absent from class after swiping their cards.

2. A student, without attending class, is not permitted to ask fellow students to swipe his/her card to
record attendance.

Academic Penalty
1. For a first-time offender: A grade point drop of 1.00 in the course. The student will also be marked
absent for that session in case of having found to have provided proxy attendance. Any additional
penalties, as per the course attendance policy, will also be applicable.

2. The student concerned will have to step down from all positions of responsibility (elected or
selected). The student concerned will also not be eligible for receiving any kind of award from the
Institute such as the Directors Merit List, Gold Medal for academic excellence or all-round
performance, etc.

3. For a repeat offender: The penalty could range from U (Unsatisfactory) grade in the course to
expulsion.

Examinations and Quizzes

1. Students are not allowed to miss any quizzes, examinations or course submissions without
the specific permission of the Chairperson (PGP). If the student taken prior approval for not
attending the examination, the following procedure will be followed: Initially, the student will
be awarded an I (Incomplete) grade. I is a temporary grade, not intended to be shown as a
final grade in a course.
 2. I must be replaced by a final grade (A, B, C, D, U) within a period of two weeks from the end
of the term after the student has had the opportunity of completing the missed components.

3. If the student fails to complete the course within two weeks, the instructor will give the final
grade on the assumption that the student gets a U (Unsatisfactory) grade in the missed
components (or zero if marks are given to each component).

Even if the Chairperson (PGP) sanctions the leave, faculty members are at liberty to deal with each case at
their discretion. Compensation, if any, for missed examinations/quizzes/tests (for valid reasons with prior
approval) will be decided by the faculty concerned, whose decision will be final and binding.

Missing examinations in case of illness

If a student cannot take an exam due to illness, the student must communicate this to the
PGP Office through mail, phone or through a friend before the commencement of that
examination. If the student misses an examination/quiz due to medical reasons (after due approval
of the PGP Office), then the faculty will be requested to give a make-up exam. However, the student
will have to provide a medical certificate and Institute doctors report, at the earliest, for permission
to write a make- up examination. Even when a re-examination is allowed at a later date, since the
student has had more time to prepare for the re-examination, the paper is more likely to be tougher.
If communication about the illness is received after the start of the exam, the PGP Office will
not give a waiver and the student will get a zero for that examination component. There will be no
re-examination or extrapolation based on marks scored in other components
No waiver for examinations will be given due to oversleeping or for minor illness such as
cough/cold and headache that can be treated with over-the-counter drugs.

Discipline during examinations and quizzes

Invigilators will enforce the following steps during examinations:

Students must reach the exam hall and occupy the seats at least 10 minutes before the scheduled time.
Students arriving late for a quiz/ test/mid-term/end term exam will not be allowed and shall be marked
as absent. Neither compensatory test/quiz shall be allowed nor their extrapolation of the marks scored
in other components shall be considered. Students shall not be allowed to write the second part of exam/
test in case the exam/test has two parts.

The invigilator may re-assign seats at his/her discretion.

The PGP Office shall consider the time indicated by the clock in the classroom as final.

Students must produce ID card for all exams and quizzes.

Copying is strictly prohibited. Sharing/copying information from any materials/other students answer
sheets, with/without their knowledge is strictly prohibited

Students found with cheat sheets or scribblings on any part of their clothes or body or any gestures are
strictly prohibited. The student will be expelled from the examination hall and given zero mark in the
examination. To avoid disturbance in the examination hall, the invigilator might allow the student to
continue the examination but report the incidence to PGP office separately. In such cases, the student
will get zero marks in the examination.

Students are not permitted to go out of the examination hall. Under exceptional circumstances,
permission may be granted two hours after the examination has started.
 Students are not permitted to take the examination answer booklet and continuation sheets out of the
examination hall.

Students who do not submit their answer sheets before leaving the examination hall will get a zero. Re-
examination and extrapolation of grades from other evaluation components will not be permitted.

Mobile phones are not allowed during examinations/quizzes. Students violating the rule will be awarded
zero.

Academic Penalty for Copying Proxy and Copying & Students Feedback

For a first time offender: U (Unsatisfactory) in the course.

The student concerned will have to step down from all positions of responsibility (elected or
selected). The student concerned will also not be eligible for receiving any kind of award from
the Institute such as the Directors Merit List, Gold Medal for academic excellence or all-round
performance etc.
Those students who have been penalized for proxy or copying, in a core or elective course are not
eligible to provide feedback for that particular course in the respective term/quarter.
For a repeat offender: The penalty could be more severe, including possible expulsion.

Assignments and Plagiarism

Unless otherwise specified by the faculty concerned, students must not collaborate in any way in so
far as their writing effort is concerned in connection with home assignments. In other words, the
answers should be the independent work of each student. Students are advised, in their own
interest, to not communicate their written analysis or answers to other students. They are also
advised not to pass on their examination answer papers and written assignments to the next batch
or seek such material from their seniors. Copying from previous years assignments is prohibited.

The faculty members, if they think fit, may disallow or restrict discussion or consultation about the
home assignments and examinations or may adopt any other measure to prevent the use of unfair
means in any segment of evaluation.

Students are required to maintain clear referencing of quoted sources in all their report
submissions.

Guidelines for Grading

A four-point scale will be adopted for evaluating a student in individual PGP courses. The letter
grades are:

Grade Description Grade point

A Excellent 3.50 - 4.00
B Good 2.50 - 3.49
C Satisfactory 1.50 - 2.49
D Low Pass 0.50 - 1.49
U Unsatisfactory 0.00 - 0.49
I Incomplete (final grade pending)
 As per the Institutes norms, no more than 25% of students in a course will be awarded an A grade.
Likewise, no more than 70% of students in a course will be awarded an A or a B grade.

While relative grading is used in the award of A, B and C grades, faculty may award D
and U grades (that result in deficit grade points) when the performance of the students is far
lower on absolute terms compared to the course objectives and minimum expected
performance.

There will be a minimum of two components of evaluation in each course. The weightage of
any one component should not exceed 60%.

All students are given a number grade point up to the second decimal place.

The scheme of evaluation will be communicated to the students at the beginning of each course.
This is a contract that the faculty enters into with each class. This contract should cover teachers
expectations, the weight for each component and relative importance of topics covered. Grading
plans will not be modified after the course commences.

The PGP Office will issue a grade card within four weeks from the end of each term. Grade cards
are given as a means of timely feedback. Students are expected to bring errors, if any, to the notice
of the PGP Office immediately.

Grade Point Average (GPA)

GPA for a term is the weighted average of the grade points obtained in the courses registered for in the
term (weights being the respective course credits).

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)

CGPA, as at the end of a term, is the weighted average of the grade points obtained in the courses
registered up to that term.

Deficit Credit Points (DCPs)

Grade U carries 2 DCPs for each credit. Grade D carries 1 DCP for e a c h cr e d i t .

Students must work consistently to avoid such DCP grades as cumulative DCPs will result in failure to
complete requirements for promotion to the second year and for the award of the diploma.

Criteria for Promotion to the Second Year

A student is eligible for promotion to the second year provided the following academic standards are
maintained at the end of Term III:
CGPA of at least 2.00 for the courses taken in the first year including elective courses; and not more
than 12 DCPs in the first year.
If a student does not meet both the specified criteria at the end of Term III, s/he will have to
discontinue the programme. If a student does not meet one of the criteria mentioned above, s/he
 will be required to go on a slow track and repeat select first-year courses in the following
academic year in order to improve performance. If a student on the slow track fails to meet the
criteria for promotion which is CGPA of at least 2.00 and not more than 12 DCPAs, then s/he will
have to discontinue the programme.
Performance of students will be reviewed term by term in the first year by the PGP Committee.
Those who do not meet specified academic criteria will be advised to go on a slow track. In the slow
track, students take fewer core courses each term, repeat courses where they have received poor
grades and get two years to complete the core course requirements.
It is mandatory for any student who gets 9 DCPs or more and a CGPA of less than 1.80 at the end of
Term II to go on a slow track. However, a student whose performance is better than what is required
to go on a slow track can also opt for slow track in either Term II or Term III. Slow track students
cannot take elective courses in Term III of their first year, but can do so the following year.
The latest grades obtained by slow track students will be considered final. There is no option to
choose the better of the grades.
The fee for slow track students will be on a pro-rata basis and a new fee structure is applicable as
and when it changes.

Award of Diploma Criteria

A student will be eligible for the award of Diploma only if s/he satisfies the following criteria at the
end of Term VI:

CGPA of at least 2.00 in the courses taken in the second year

AND
CGPA of at least 2.20 for all courses taken over the two years
AND
Not more than 18 DCPs over the two years.

In addition to the above three academic criteria, satisfactory completion of the Summer Internship
is a requirement for the award of Diploma for all those who take up the internship.

A student who does not meet two or more of the above academic criteria will be asked to
discontinue the programme. Students who do not meet one of the above criteria can be allowed by
the PGP Committee to take a maximum of one academic year in order to take additional second-
year courses that enable him/her to complete all the above requirements for the award of Diploma.
Apart from the credited non-graded courses, all courses taken at IIMB in the second year will
count towards CGPA, including courses taken in addition to the minimum credits requirement.

Any student, instructed by the PGP Committee to discontinue the programme at any stage has
the right to appeal to the Dean Programmes. The Dean Programmes decision on such an appeal
will be final.
Honors Academic
Merit Certificate : Students who are ranked first in their respective sections at the end of Terms I, II
and III will be given a book grant and a Certificate of Merit.

Directors Merit List : The top 5% students in the batch, during the first year, will be included in the
Directors Merit List and will be given a book grant and a Certificate of Merit. The Certificate and the

with co-curricular and extra-

curricular achievements

Administration
Appointed by the Director and the Dean to oversee all academic aspects of the programme, the
Chairperson (PGP) will be the link between the students and the faculty. S/he will guide and counsel
students as required. If any student has a problem of an academic nature, it may be referred to the
Chairperson (PGP). The Students Academic Council (SAC) will coordinate with the faculty and the
Chairperson (PGP).

Appointed by the Director in consultation with the Dean Programmes and the Chairperson (PGP), the PGP
Committee will decide all academic and disciplinary matters pertaining to the post-graduate programme. It
will also recommend to the faculty the names of students eligible for the diploma as well as the students
asked to repeat or discontinue the programme.
Students should approach the Administrative Officer (PGP) for administrative support on matters such
as course registrations, term registrations, issue of identity cards, payment of fees, attendance records,
travel concessions, etc.

The Administrative Officer or AO (Hostel) deals with all hostel-related matters that affect individual
students. The student hostel secretary and the SAC president will coordinate with the AO (Hostel) and
Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) on hostel issues.

Library Rules
Any violation of library rules such as theft of books, journals or periodicals; damage of library material; hiding
library material to prevent access by other students; and failure to return library material on time will be
viewed seriously. Any complaint received from the librarian in such matters will be referred to the PGP
Committee for disciplinary action.

Medical Facilities
Medical aid is available on campus. The Health Centre is open during the working hours of the
Institute (10.00 am to 1.00 pm and 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm). A doctor is available for free
consultation. However, the expense for medical tests, specialist charges, hospital and such other
expense have to be borne by the students.

All students are required to avail medical insurance under the Mediclaim scheme. Since
it a group medical insurance scheme, students cannot opt out of the scheme. Students are
advised to keep the identity card issued by the Insurance Company with them at all times as
this will facilitate obtaining hospital facilities without cash payment. Students are advised
to inform the AO (Hostel) and the AO (PGP) immediately in case they face any serious medical
problems.

Students are requested to undergo a thorough medical check-up before they plan to take
part in any physically demanding activity on campus such as playing outdoor sports or taking
part in blood donation camps etc.

Internal Committee
[Established under the Prevention of Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention,
Prohibition and Redressal) Act 2013]

Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) is committed to the fundamental rights of

individuals, including the right to life, equality and dignity. IIMB strongly supports gender
equality and opposes any form of gender discrimination and insensitivity, gender related
violence or abuse, including sexual harassment.1

1 Sexual harassment includes any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, other verbal or physical
conduct of a sexual nature such as loaded comments, remarks or jokes, letters, phone calls or emails, gestures, exhibition
of pornography, lurid stares, physical contact, stalking, sounds or display of a derogatory nature, use of the body or any
part of it or any object as an extension of the body in relation to another person without the latter's consent or against
that person's will, deprecatory comments, conduct or any such behaviour based on the gender identity/sexual orientation
 It is imperative that one is able to identify conduct amounting to sexual harassment and
understand how to respond to it promptly and appropriately. This is critical both for the
individual as well as for IIMB as an institution. IIMB is committed to upholding the
Constitutional and legal mandate to combat sexual harassment of women and ensure that
human rights of all those who come within its jurisdiction are safeguarded.
IIMB has constituted an Internal Committee, under the Prevention of Sexual Harassment of
Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act 2013, to address claims and
concerns of sexual harassment and is headed by a senior woman member of the faculty. The
role of the Committee is to take cognizance of any complaint, provide assistance and redressal
to victims, conduct enquiries when required, and recommend necessary actions to be
undertaken against any person found responsible for the harassment.
For further information or grievance, please write to ic@iimb.ernet.in and for more details, and
please also refer to Gender Sensitivity Guidelines on the Institutes website
http://hrm.iimb.ernet.in/iimb/gender_sensitivity/index.htm.

In-house Counsellor

IIMB provides counselling services to students through an in-house counsellor. The counsellors office is
located in C block, Ground Floor (Room No.C008) and can be reached at extension 3367, e-mail:
sugami.ramesh@iimb.ernet.in.

Vishwas is a voluntary counseling organization that has been closely associated with IIMB to enhance
the quality of life for students on campus. Vishwas works closely with Mitr IIMBs student volunteer arm

environment at IIMB. Details of Vishwas and Mitr are available on the Spidi site. The Centre offers counseling
services with complete confidentiality.

time.
Notwithstanding anything contained in these rules, no discussion of any sort will be permitted

discussion or consultation about the home assignments and examinations or may adopt any
other measure to prevent the use of unfair means in any segment of evaluation.
Students are required to maintain clear referencing of quoted sources in all their report
submissions.
Plagiarism and use of sources without references will be considered as use of unfair

responsible.
Proven use of unfair means in any component of any course, will result in award up to zero
grade point (U grade) in the entire course or component in the first instance. Any student
found to use unfair means on a second occasion in the programme is likely to be asked to
