IIM-A to raise fees for PGP-PMP course

AHMEDABAD: The Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad has decided to hike the fees for its one-year post graduate programme in public management and policy (PGP-PMP) for students seeking admissions in the second batch.

The fees for the programme will be raised from Rs 9 lakh to Rs 12 lakh for non-sponsored candidates, official sources said here on Thursday.

The fees for department of personnel and training sponsored central government candidates could also be raised, they said.

The PGP-PMP programme was launched by the institute in April 2007 for persons with significant work experience, who can become risk-taking leaders and managers. The pioneering batch of the programme has 33 partici-pants.

The 12 participants are sponsored by various government de-partments, while 21 are non-sponsored participants.
