(PGDM-IB) programme is unique among international management programmes because we
focus on preparing our graduates to be global tour leaders who possess a deep knowledge of
the intercultural sensitivity and skill to handle both out bound and inbound tourists. Mentored
by Thomas Cook (India) Ltd., PGDM-IB programme provides learners with international as well
as general business skills, and an opportunity for hands on experience. With IITTMs core
competence in tourism and travel-the largest global industry today, we prepare learners for
this. They will also be equipped with skills transferable to other sectors of global businesses. In
times when companies must spend each rupee judiciously it has become increasingly important
for tourism companies to hire managers/executives who are trained to be relevant to their
requirements. At PGDM (IB) we believe that for graduates to be worth the employers money,
they need to be trained/ educated in a manner that they may contribute from day one to the
company by creating value for their customers and company. We believe that the only way out
is to offer a programme working closely with industry, so that it produces learners who are of
immediate use for the tourism companies. Being the leader in tourism education in South Asia,
we have excellent relationships with the tourism companies which have enabled us to
appreciate their needs. The Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM - International
