Post Graduate Programme in Public Policy and Management (PGPPM)

Admission Procedure-2018 for Non-Government Participants

About the Programme

The Post Graduate Programme in Public Policy and Management (PGPPM) is one of the key long duration programmes offered by IIM Bangalore, since 2002. Senior government officersand professionals from social, infrastructure and private sectors as well as future leaders will find the programme useful in strengthening public policy and managerial skills in the current scenario where the boundary between the public and private sector is growing increasingly indistinct. This unique programme promotes cross learning between professionals from the Government and Non Government sectors.

The PGPPM was introduced by the Centre for Public Policy (CPP), which was established by IIMB with initial support from the Department of Personnel and Training, GOI and UNDP. It integrates public policy and general management skills into a single programme.

The PGPPM programme was extended to the non-government, ‘open’ candidates in 2008 and enables cross learning between participants from the private and public sectors.
