Classes for the maiden PG course is set to begin in September. Briefing newspersons, Dr Narasimhan said as part of a deliberate decision, 10 seats have been allocated for every State, and the total number of students to be taken in after written tests and interviews outside Chennai would be 130.

Dr Narasimhan said SMOT’s four-semester 16-month PGPM was being conducted at its Chennai campus. The course fee (including tuition fees, course materials and a working lunch) has been pegged at Rs 4.3 lakh. The programme, according to him, is co-signed by the Sobey School of Business, at Mary’s University in Canada, an AACSB-accredited institution, counted among the top 5 business schools in that country. The SMOT Director said in order to address industry’s need for quality management talent, a lot of importance has been given to what comes after placement. He said out of the 1.22-lakh students who pass out annually in India, only some 20 per cent were “job ready”.
