New Delhi, July 21 Indian Institute of Management Lucknow’s Noida campus has introduced a 24-week General Management Programme for Defence officers. The programme is open to both short service commission officers and others.

The response to the first three programmes conducted by IIML was a huge success with all 49 officers of the first programme and 60 of the second getting good job offers. The third batch, which is undergoing placements right now, is also witnessing a slew of great offers.

This year after applying the selection criteria 59 Defence officers from all three branches of the Armed forces have been selected for the programme. Out of the 59 officers, seven candidates are lady officers.

“Management education to defence personnel contributes to providing defence officers a second career choice after retirement. But the larger role in the national interest is to prepare a disciplined and responsible citizen to play important roles in today’s competitive business scenario,” said Prof N.K. Gupta and Prof S.C. Bansal, Programme Directors.

The aim of the programme is to capitalise on these skills of the officers and optimise them to suit the corporate world’s requirements. The objective of the programme is to provide the participants with a basic understanding of the managerial systems and processes.

The programme has been designed to provide the defence officers with basic functional inputs in subjects such as accounting and finance, decision sciences, organisational behaviour, human resources management, communication skills, marketing, strategy, information technology and business environment.
