Post Graduate Diploma in Product Management
Management is a very delicate art. To be able to foresee, understand and estimate all the scenarios into which a situation can develop and to manage all the factors that govern the modification of the situation to extract expected results is a very elaborate and yet, a very fragile process.
The term 'management' has spawned many careers. Product management is one of them. And it is one intriguing field to work in. A job as a product manager is a chance to work for many different kind of products. It is a chance to understand a collection of varying strategies that need to be implemented while turning something from an idea into a real entity.
To grab a position as a product manager, the skill set needs to be immaculate. And even after acquiring the proper amount of technique and etiquette one would need to work in this field, the most important and majorly horrid thing to face is the interview. In there, in front of the panel of experienced product management professionals, it no longer matters what one knows. All that carries any weight in an interview for the post of a product manager is the ability of the candidate to express themselves in the exact right manner at the exact right second.
The entire idea at Institute of Marketing Communications India (IMCI) is to develop the capability to understand the exact kind of display that would work in a real time environment. At IMCI, the entire weight is put on the growth of the candidate and that is what puts this institution and this course ahead in the line of similar courses.
