SDMIMD’s flagship offering is a two years long full time residential Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) program which is approved by AICTE and accredited by NBA. The program has also been recognized as equivalent to MBA by Association of Indian Universities.

SDMIMD’s PGDM Program is accredited by ACBSP (Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs), USA, and by EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development), thus becoming the first institute in India to get the dual accreditation of ACBSP and EFMD – EPAS. These accreditations have propelled SDMIMD to be among the top global Business Schools and have enabled the students to learn in an environment that is process and outcome enabled and globally oriented.

With the intention of strengthening the PGDM program and providing students and faculty with international exposure, the Institute has partnerships with several foreign universities for academic collaboration.

The campus is enabled with contemporary learning and IT infrastructure. As a fully residential B-School, the campus provides a tranquil and invigorating environment for living – be it the fully furnished single occupancy hostel room, student managed mess, well equipped gym and wellness centre etc.
