The Indian Institute of Management, Indore (IIM-I) is piloting an online portal to enable participants of its post graduate programme (PGP) to bid for subjects of their choice.
The B-school students, with inputs from the faculty, have introduced a bidding system that allows them to make a customised choice of courses.
As part of the process, students get 400 points to spend on the five subjects they are required to select at the end of the year. The bidding will commence from September 6. IIM-I academic affairs committee student head Manan Duggal said, "The entire process would be carried out online."
Earlier, students were not allowed to choose their subjects. They were allotted to them on the basis of their grades in the first year. Duggal said the new system will make the programme flexible and give students the power to pursue the course that would help them plan their future.
