Xavier School of Management Thursday inaugurated the 5th batch of its Post Graduate Programme for Certificate in Entrepreneurship Management (PGP-CEM) at its Jamshedpur campus.
The new batch consists of 66 students shortlisted on the basis of a rigorous selection process. “While half of the students are from Jharkhand, the balance is drawn from different parts of the country including as far as Jammu & Kashmir, on the one hand, and Tamil Nadu and Kerala on the other”, XLRI said in a statement.
The (PGP-CEM), designed and developed by Entrepreneurship Development Centre (EDC) of XLRI in 2010, is a full time 6-month programme.
The curriculum also included some specific fields of interest in the context of entrepreneurial development in India like technopreneurship, family business and agripreneurship. Social enterprises having evolved as a distinct form of entrepreneurship in the country, a separate course has been designed to analyze the features of this form of business too.
Apart from three classroom terms covering 24 different courses on entrepreneurship management, a project module is also envisaged as an integral part of the programme. As a part of the project formulation exercise, each student will be expected to formulate a viable project on an area of his/her choice under the mentorship of a faculty member.
