The institute delivers classroom-based, hybrid, and international double-degree programs to individual students and corporate clients.

Product overview

Goa Institute of Management (GIM) is a premier AICTE-approved business school offering a portfolio of seven distinct management education programs. The flagship offering is the full-time residential PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management) — a two-year NBA-accredited program equivalent to an MBA, serving as the core platform for general management education. This core is complemented by four specialized PGDM programs: PGDM-HCM (Healthcare Management), PGDM-BDA (Big Data Analytics), PGDM-BIFS (Banking, Insurance & Financial Services), and the IDA (International Double Degree in Analytics) which extends the BDA curriculum with a partner institution in Portugal. GIM also offers a Hybrid PGDM for working professionals and two doctoral tracks — the FPM (Fellow Programme in Management) for academic researchers and the EFPM (Executive FPM) for senior executives. A full suite of Executive Education and Management Development Programmes (MDPs) rounds out the portfolio, targeting corporate clients with customized training. The BDA program notably integrates advanced analytics, AI, machine learning, and deep learning as a central differentiator, while the HCM program uniquely blends healthcare domain expertise with management education.
