7. CURRICULUM

7.1 Course Workload

Class hours for courses are determined in direct proportion to their credit units. A typical course in
our MBA Program carries three credit units and involves 30 hours of classroom teaching and 10
hours of interaction time with the course instructor outside the class. The courses of lesser or more
duration is assigned proportionate credits. A three-credit course requires approximately 100 hours
of work, both in and outside the classroom, from the student. The 30 hours teaching in three credit
courses is usually spread over 10-11 weeks.
7.2 First Year Program
All first-year courses are compulsory and together fetch a total of 64.5 credits for a student. A list
of first year courses including information on assigned credit units of each course is given in
Annexure-III.
7.3 Summer Internship Program (SIP)
Every MBA student will be required to work on an assignment/project with a company or an
organization for a period of eight to ten weeks after completion of his/her first-year end-term
exams (i.e., between April and June). The summer placement is a compulsory credit requirement
of the MBA Program and carries three credits. The Placement Office will assist the students in
finding suitable summer assignments. The summer placement aims at achieving the following
objectives:
(a) Widening the horizon of students by providing them an opportunity to work in real
organizations.
(b) Getting the hands-on experience of day-to-day challenges of real business organizations
and resolving such challenges by applying their knowledge and understanding of such
situations developed through their MBA curriculum.
(c) Providing students an opportunity to network with a prospective employer and exploring
possibilities of getting a pre-placement job offers.
(d) Honing the skills of students to present their summer internship work in the form of Project
Reports.
(e) Enriching of CVs of students by providing them the opportunity to work on real-life projects
and then mentioning the same in their CVs.
Each student will be working under a company mentor in his/her organization and needs to
sincerely work on the assigned project/tasks under the guidance of company mentor and are
encouraged to acquire Pre-Placement Offers (PPOs) Before proceeding for their summer
internship, every student will also be assigned a faculty mentor of IIM Jammu. Every student
needs to keep his/her faculty guide updated of his/her summer internship work/project progress
through a fortnightly report.
Post completion of his/her SIP, student necessarily needs to submit the following to the
Program Office for registering into Term IV: (i) a detailed report of internship project/tasks

Page 6 of 68
 in the prescribed format; (ii) the confidential grading of his/her SIP work done by his/her
Company guide in a sealed & signed envelope; and (iii) a certificate from the host organization
on its letterhead certifying the completion of the SIP. No students will be allowed to register
for the second year without these documents.
The grade of the student in the summer internship is decided through the joint evaluation of
his/her summer internship work/project by his/her company mentor (50% marks) and faculty
guide (50% marks). Towards the completion of the summer internship, company mentor
evaluates the summer internship work of the student for 50% marks based on grading rubric
shared with him/her and sends a confidential report of the same to the Placement Office via
email. A hardcopy of the confidential grading (on the organization’s letterhead) in a sealed &
signed envelope is also provided to the student on last day of his/her internship. Similarly, the
faculty guide evaluates the summer internship work of the student for the remaining 50%
marks based on the grading rubric shared with him/her and sends a confidential report of same
to the Program Office. A salient part of evaluation by faculty guide will be based on
presentation of summer internship report by the student before the faculty panel led by his/her
faculty guide. Sometimes a company or organization may allow the student to disclose only
the limited contents of the project report with the Institute due to reasons of confidentiality of
report information. Even in case of confidential SIP project works, the student would request
the Placement Office or Faculty mentor to talk with the company mentor for allowing him/her
to share non-confidential portions of his/her SIP project with the assigned faculty panel (team
of two faculty members). Additionally, Placement Office/Faculty mentor would assure the
company that the project information shared by the student would not be used for any
commercial purposes and be not disclosed further to anyone by the faculty panel.
The final grade of the student in the summer internship will be included in his/her Term IV
grade sheet and will be derived by averaging of the grade points received from the Company
mentor and the faculty guide. A student getting overall “D” or “F” Grade will be required to
repeat his/her Summer Internship Training with the next batch and will not be given MBA
degree unless he/she improves his/her grade in the SIP.
7.4 Second Year Program
The Program Office will announce the elective courses to be offered in the second year of MBA
by the first week of February 2025, based on the elective pool offered by various functional areas.
MBA 2nd year Courses: A student must take at least 48 credit units from courses offered over the
three terms such that student does not take:
• Less than 18 credit units in Term IV;
• Less than 15 credit units in Term V; and
• Less than 15 credit units in Term VI.
The students in the second year can choose a maximum of one audit (non-credit) course per term
besides choosing their credit electives subject to the approval of the course faculty. Please see
section 7.6 for detailed information on Audit courses.
For MBA (Batch 2024-26), students need to submit their choice of electives for Term IV, V & VI
to the Program office latest by March 13, 2025. The indicated choices for Term IV elective courses
will be firm choices. No changes in Term IV choices are permitted after the last date as announced
by the Program office.
The choices for Term V and Term VI elective courses will be tentative and can be changed up to
15th August (for Term V courses) and up to 15th October (for Term VI courses). It may be noted
that the change, if any, will be allowed, subject to no existing running elective course(s) gets
dropped. A student can at the most change a single elective choice per term from his/her initially
subscribed list provided it doesn’t result in any existing running elective getting dropped. In
addition, the student may be asked to change some of his/ her chosen electives in case Program
office finds that parallel scheduling of some electives while being necessary (due to non-availability

Page 7 of 68
 of slots), is challenging on account of up to 2 students being common across any two elective
courses.
The students will give elective course choices according to the procedure and timings as
communicated by the Program Office. Each student must submit a signed hard copy of the elective
selections to the Program Office, failing which the students will have to accept the elective allotted
to him/her by the Institute. The choice submitted through signed hard copy is final & firm through
Term IV, V & VI. The students must also clearly specify the elective course where they intend to
register as an audit student. The students should retain with themselves a copy of the course list
submitted to the office.
The existing minimum number of credit students (excluding audit student) in an elective to get it
floated shall be 10% of the total batch across all the functional areas. Electives will not be offered
if the requisite numbers of credit students do not opt for it. Similarly, an upper cap of students in
an elective may be kept beyond which no students will be allowed to take the course.
The respective areas may announce prerequisites which may be in terms of minimum grade in
earlier courses/terms or an earlier term course(s). Students can subscribe to the particular elective
provided they fulfill its mentioned prerequisites. The Finance area has fixed the following
prerequisites for subscription of finance elective:
• A minimum of B+ in both Financial Accounting (Term 1) and Corporate Finance (Term 2)
• Subject to fulfillment of above requirement, an upper cap of 70 students in each of the finance
elective
• In case of fulfillment of both the above prerequisites, the subscription list will be prepared
based on the CGPA of the student.
Similar prerequisites may be announced by other areas which will be intimated to the batch well in
advance. The prerequisites may be modified/ changed/ updated from time to time depending on the
decision of the area. All students are required to abide by the prerequisites announced by the areas.
In case the Institute, due to some exigencies, decides to drop a course, the students who have
subscribed to that course will be asked to register for another course to meet their requirement of
electives/credits.
7.5 Value Added Compulsory Workshops
The Chairperson (MBA) may, on the advice of Functional Area faculties, announce Value Added
Compulsory Workshops. These workshops are done on contemporary relevant topics which as yet
may not have formed part of our regular MBA courses. The attendance of students in such
workshops is compulsory. These workshops are included as audit workshops in the grade sheet of
the term in which they are organized. Students who comply with all requirements of a workshop
(including minimum attendance of 80%) will only get the benefit of inclusion of that particular
workshop in their grade sheet. A student on complying with all requirements of a workshop will
receive a grade of S (Satisfactory) for that workshop. Some of these workshops may desire
additional payment of workshop fees over and above the regular term fees. Wherever such fees are
applicable, students will be allowed to participate/attend the workshop subject to prior payment of
requisite fees.
7.6 Audit (Non-Credit) Course / Non-Credit Compulsory Courses
Auditing a course allows a student to take a class without the benefit of course grade being included
in the Term Grade Point Average (TGPA)/ Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
calculation. A student who audits a course does so for self-enrichment and academic exploration.
The auditing of a course is allowed only on a space-available basis with the approval of the
instructor of the course. A student is allowed a maximum of three credit units equivalent course(s)
per Term in the second year of the MBA as the audit course(s). The audit course(s) will be over
and above the spelled-out credit units to be taken in every term of the second year of the MBA
program. The grade secured by a student in a course audited by him/her will be treated as a grade
in any other elective course and shall be mentioned in the grade sheet. However, the grade obtained

Page 8 of 68
 in the audit course will not be used for the purpose of the qualifying criteria for award of Degree
and will not be included in the calculation of TGPA/CGPA.
The fee for audit course(s) will be over and above the term fees (Rs.10,000/- for a full-credit course
and Rs.6,000/- for a half credit course) to be paid additionally along with the usual fee for the term
in which the course is offered.
The student who is seeking to audit an elective course, shall indicate which elective course is to be
treated as audit course at the time of elective bidding. Such information should reach Program
office as per the notified date. The decision of Program Office to allow or disallow a student from
seeking auditing of an elective course would be final.
The grade obtained in the non-credit compulsory course will not be counted in the calculation of
the TGPA/CGPA. Further, satisfactory completion of a non-credit compulsory course will be a
minimum C grade, else the student needs to repeat the course for fulfilling the requirement of the
award of degree. The general attendance norms will be followed in terms of Non-Credit
compulsory courses.
7.7 Course of Independent Study (CIS)
The objective of CIS is to provide students an opportunity to explore their own idea and do some
original thinking in an area of their interest. This helps in development of Higher Order Thinking
Skills (analytical, synthesis and integrative skills) of students. Additionally, CIS provides
opportunity to students to acquire ‘deeper’ understanding of the select field of study. The chosen
theme for CIS need not necessarily belong to a given functional area, and may embrace multi-
functional linkages.
7.7.1 Guidelines for CIS
CIS can be taken only in Term V and/or Term VI for any student. A student interested
in CIS needs to work under faculty Supervisor(s). The consent of the Supervisor(s)
must be submitted to the Program Office along with the elective choices. The CIS
proposal for Term V and Term VI, duly signed by the faculty supervisor must be
submitted to the Program office on the day of the Term V/ Term VI registration, as
applicable. In case the duly signed proposal is not submitted, the student would be
asked to drop the CIS and register for elective course(s).
7.7.2 Eligibility Criteria
The eligibility criteria for CIS is:
• Minimum CGPA of 7.00 in MBA-I (First year).
• Minimum B+ grades in all relevant courses to the area of the CIS. The courses
relevant to the area of a particular proposed CIS would be determined by the
proposed faculty guide and approved by the MBA Committee.
• Student opting for CIS should not have any F or D grades in any course. This
would be subject to review on a case-to-case basis by the MBA Committee.
7.7.3 Faculty Supervision and Faculty Panel
The CIS has to be done under the supervision of Faculty Member(s) chosen by the student
and approved by the Chairperson (MBA). The final enrollment for CIS will be done along
with the confirmed choices of electives opted for Terms V/VI. Written consent of the
faculty supervisor(s) and the proposed title of the CIS are necessary at that time. For every
proposed CIS project, MBA Committee will constitute a three-member faculty panel led
by the faculty supervisor(s). The faculty panel would be responsible for monitoring and
evaluation of the CIS project. Faculty Members are free to lay down criteria for choosing
students and limiting the number of students for supervision.
a) Two copies of the CIS report must be submitted to the Program office before the first
day of the end term examination, of the respective term.
b) No extension of time for submitting the report will be allowed.

Page 9 of 68
 c) On receipt of the report, Program Office will issue a notice to the student for
presentation to the faculty panel before end term examinations.
d) Presentation once made will be final. No student will be allowed to make a
presentation more than once.
7.7.4 Proposal Evaluation
A student, who had opted for CIS, should submit his/her CIS proposal to the Program
Office by end of second (fourth) week of the term in which CIS is initiated. The proposal
will be evaluated by the faculty panel. If satisfied with the proposal, the faculty panel may
accept the proposal. If not satisfied, the faculty panel may reject the proposal or may
propose amendment to the proposal and ask the student concerned to resubmit the proposal
through Program Office.
7.7.5 Guidelines for CIS
(a) The CIS offers an opportunity to the student to explore a topic in-depth in an area of
special interest to the student. The CIS comprises an investigation, together with the
written report and interpretation thereof, of a subject accepted and approved by a
member of the faculty. A CIS could either be of an exploratory type or a prescriptive
type with a focus on its applicability to management situations. It may be a case study,
a study of a policy problem, a historical study, development of a new method,
comparison of two or more methods, formulation and testing a hypothesis relevant to
some areas of management. The CIS may be a field/library-based study or both.
(b) Report format for the CIS report will vary depending on the nature of CIS.

8. INTERNATIONAL ADJUNCT/ VISITING FACULTY

The Institute has a strong resolve to engage world-class faculty members in its MBA Program to provide
international exposure to the students. In this regard, the Institute may invite from time to time faculty
members from the Partner Institutes/ Universities under Faculty Exchange Program and other top Institutes
across the globe.
Due to the long-distance and related travel time, the courses which will be taught by the international
adjunct/visiting faculty members are allowed to be completed within 2-3 weeks. However, even in such
cases, faculty is not allowed to finish the course in less than 2 weeks of time. In such cases, faculty is also
allowed to conduct only one single comprehensive end-term exam in lieu of separate mid-term and end-
term exams. Also, the weightage of such end-term exams should be between 50% to 60%.

9. ATTENDANCE

9.1 Attendance Rules

100% attendance is mandatory in all courses. A maximum of 20% leeway in attendance is
provided to allow for any unanticipated medical reasons/ personal reasons/ contest/ placement/
institutional work/ any other activities. Thus, even with exigencies, a student is expected to attend
a minimum of 80% of classes in each course. If a student fails to meet the minimum specified 80%
attendance requirement in one or more course(s), his/her original Grade(s) based on academic
performance in those course(s) would be lowered in accordance with the grade penalty rules laid
down in the following table:
Attendance % (In each Course/s) Grade Penalty
More than or equal to 70% but less 1 Grade drop (e.g. from A+ to A, B- to C, C to D,
than 80% etc.)

Page 11 of 68
 More than or equal to 60% but less 2 Grade drop (e.g. from A+ to A-, B to C, C to D,
than 70% etc.)
More than or equal to 50% but less 1 Letter Grade drop (e.g. from A+ to B+, B+ to C,
than 60% C to D, etc.)
Less than 50% F grade will be awarded

If a student gets D grade in a particular course and also gets a grade drop due to
attendance shortage, ‘D’ will become an ‘F’ grade. It is important to note that students
having less than 50% attendance in a course due to any reason including medical
problem(s) will be awarded F grade in that course. In other words, minimum 50%
attendance is required to be eligible to get a pass grade.

9.2 General Guidelines

The Institute insists on regular and prompt attendance in classes. Attendance will be taken by the
instructor directly/ through biometric and the students should be attentive at the time of attendance/
marking their attendance through biometric to get their presence recorded. Unauthorized absence
from class/institute will be considered a breach of discipline and the Institute will be free to take
appropriate action in such cases.
A student is required to monitor his /her attendance regularly. All doubts regarding attendance
should be clarified with concerned faculty within appropriate time (at the end of each class during
recess or at the end of class hours of the day). If the student is marked absent even when present,
he/she should immediately inform the concerned faculty by submitting a written application
justifying his/her stand.
ONLY under extra-ordinary circumstances, students may obtain leave of absence under the
following rules and procedures:
• Students must follow the procedure specified by the institute for availing leave of absence
from the campus. Students going out of station or to their local guardian for overnight stay
must follow due procedure first getting his application recommended from Chairperson
(Student Affairs) and Administrative Officer - Academics. If a student is noticed to be out
of station for overnight without prior approval, disciplinary action may be taken against
him/her to the extent of debarring from appearing in the examinations. Students are advised
not to visit local guardians frequently or go out of the station as it will hamper their
academic progression.
• In case of sickness, medical certificate issued and/or countersigned by the Institute Medical
Officer/Visiting Doctor or a Doctor from Government Hospital, along with the prescribed
application form must be submitted to the Program Office within 3 days of joining classes
after illness. No student shall be allowed to join the Program unless he/she presents a
medical fitness certificate duly endorsed by the institute’s Medical Officer/ or Government
Hospital.
• Institute’s Medical Officer/Visiting Doctor/Government Hospital Doctor will issue medical
certificates only in case of diagnosed illness where they are convinced that the student is
too ill to attend classes. These include hospitalization, communicable diseases (chicken-
pox, jaundice, and typhoid) and accidental injuries (fractures and deep traumas).
• In general, for medical treatment in Jammu city or in any other city, student must be referred
by the Institute's Doctor / Visiting Doctor / Health Centre of the Institute. Resident
Doctor's/Visiting Doctor’s reference may not be required only in case of emergency.
• For grounds other than sickness or family emergency, leave may not be granted for a period
exceeding three teaching days. Before applying for leave, student should contact their
course instructors to ensure that they are not missing any quizzes or examinations during
the leave period. No attendance will be granted for such leave. Students must refrain from

Page 12 of 68
 approaching the visiting and full-time faculty members for any exemptions in attendance
on any grounds.
The Program Office or the concerned faculty will not be responsible for the student losing
any segment of evaluation on account of his/her leave or not meeting the minimum desired
attendance of 80%.
9.3 Attendance for Participation in National /International Level Contests/Events:
Students can participate in prestigious events being hosted by top
institutions/universities/organizations with prior approval from the Chairperson (MBA). We
don’t encourage their participation into insignificant events. They need to adhere to the
following guidelines if they desire attendance in lieu of participation in events/competitions
being hosted by other institutions:
i. Attendance will only be provided if:
a) Competition / event is hosted by top category institution(s)/ universities/
organization(s) (IIMs, IITs and institutions of similar standing) of any stream; or
b) Student is representing the state or country.
ii. Permission has to be processed at least three days before the date on which student will be
missing his/her course session(s), by submitting an application along with the documentary
proof to the Program office.
iii. In an academic year, a student can be given a maximum exemption of 10% in courses
whose sessions are scheduled during the period when student has participated in the event.
iv. Institute authorities reserve rights to deny the permission to participate depending on the
date(s) and nature of event/competition for which student is seeking exemption.
v. Any component of course evaluation missed on account of participation into such events
will not be reorganized for the student.

9.4 Attendance for Corporate Engagement/Placement Activities:

Students formally participating in the corporate outreach program/placement process through
the Placement Office would be provided up to a maximum of 10% attendance in a course if
course sessions have taken place when student is involved in the above activities. To avail above
attendance, student participation has to be certified by the Placement Officer/Chairperson
(Placements). We expect that a student involved in the above activities shouldn’t utilize the
provided 20% leeway in the attendance for the personal reasons and shouldn’t seek this 10% as
additional remission in attendance after exhausting 20% leeway on his personal causes. All
students need to take note of following regarding 10% remission due to the involvement in the
above activities:
i. Attendance will only be provided if student engages in the above activities with the prior
permission of the Placement Officer/Chairperson (Placements).
ii. Permission has to be processed at least three days prior to the date on which student will be
missing his/her course session(s) by submitting an application along with the documentary
proof to the Program office.
iii. In an academic year, a student can be given a maximum exemption of 10 % in courses
whose sessions are scheduled during the period when student has participated in the event.
iv. Institute authorities reserve rights to deny the permission to participate depending on the
date(s) and nature of event/competition for which student is seeking exemption.
v. Any component of course evaluation missed on account of participation into such events
will not be reorganized for the student.

10. EVALUATION SYSTEM & ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
10.1 Examinations & Continuous Evaluation
The structure of evaluation may vary with course. The evaluation of academic performance in each
course is based on varying combinations of the following components:
• Any two or more formats (Class Tests/ Quizzes/ Project/ Assignments/
40-50%
Class Participation/Presentations/ Games & Simulation etc.)
• Mid-Term Exam 20-30%
• Term-End Exam 30-40%
• Total 100%

No midterm examination will be conducted in Term VI and the weightage of one single
comprehensive end-term exam component would be 50-60%.
Both mid-term and end-term exams are compulsory for a 3-credit course and must constitute at
least 50% of the total evaluation. For courses with 1.5 credit units, mid-term examination is
optional, but end term examination is compulsory. For continuous evaluation during the Term,
faculties can choose any two formats from the suggested modes. The relative weightage of
components for a specific course will be at the discretion of the course faculty within above
prescribed ranges. The detailed evaluation scheme for every course will be conveyed to the students
at the start of the course by the course instructor. Attendance is necessary for Mid and End Term
examinations for every student in each term, failing which he/she will be debarred from the
registration for next term. Such students are required to continue from that term along with next
batch.
No repeat MID/ END Term will be allowed under any circumstances except for recorded
absence in any MID/END Term exam due to the death of immediate family (parents, spouse,
siblings, and children) or on medical reasons. In such cases, Chairperson (MBA) after due
validation through submitted documents (death certificate or medical certificate issued
and/or countersigned by the Institute Medical Officer/Visiting Doctor or a Doctor from
Government Hospital) may permit student to appear in a specially arranged MID/END Term
exam. All such cases will be decided on case to case basis at the end of the academic term or
session.
10.2 The Grading System

A ten-point grading scale with corresponding letter grades as follows will be used:
Letter Grade A+ A A- B+ B B- C D F
Grade Point (GP) 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 0

The Term Grade Point Average (TGPA) will be calculated by computing the sum of grade points
in respective courses multiplied by their respective credits, and dividing it by the total credits for
all courses in the term.

TGPA =

Similarly, the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) will be calculated at the end of each term
as a composite index of the academic performance of the student up to that stage in the Program.
Therefore, it means that TGPA is an indicator of student performance for a term, whereas CGPA
is an indicator of student performance in an academic year.

Page 14 of 68
 A good instrument for evaluation should be able to distinguish between learners with
different levels of the course proficiency & understanding right from the basic to the
advanced levels. Such carefully planned evaluations help a lot towards the closure of the
course to arrive at the justifiable grade ranges for the course. The Faculty Member will assign
a numeric score to each student, which will be the weighted sum of component scores. Numeric
score for individual components along with class distribution of scores may be communicated to
the students. Any student desires clarification on his/her numeric scores in any component can
discuss and resolve the matter with the concerned course instructor(s) within two days of
receiving/publishing of marks.

While submitting the final scores of students in a course to the Program Office, the Faculty Member
will also specify score range for each letter grade. To avoid problem of skewness, grading pattern
should follow an approximate normal distribution except that the discretion should be used while
awarding grades D and F. Faculty members are required to follow the following grading guidelines
for courses with total enrollment of more than 20 students:
Suggested percentage of
Grade Type
students of total course strength
Letter grade A (A+, A, A-) About 30%
Letter grade B (B+, B, B-) About 60%
Letter grade C, D and F About 10%

For courses with total enrollment less than 20 students, faculty members can deviate from above
suggested ranges without being highly skewed towards the higher or lower letter grades.

Faculty should not directly disclose the grade ranges to the students as in exceptional circumstances
the MBA Committee may need to moderate the grade ranges before finalization of results. All
grades will be circulated to the students by the Program office only after the MBA Committee
approves the results.

In exceptional circumstances, MBA Committee would reserve the right to moderate the submitted
grade ranges of courses to ensure adherence to the grading guidelines and ensure consistency of
grading across sections (in case same course is taught in multiple sections). The right of moderation
would be used by the MBA Committee (for upward or downward revision of grades) only under
exceptional circumstances (i.e., in case of major deviation from the grading guidelines).
10.3 Promotion & Graduation
10.3.1 CGPA and number of D & F grades will form the basis for determining if a student is
eligible: (a) for promotion from the first to the second year, (b) for award of IIM Jammu

Terms by considering the evaluation at foreign university/business school (equivalent
grade) and GPA of the five terms at IIM Jammu. If a student fails to qualify any course
during the International Student Exchange Program, then F grade obtained in a course(s)
will be considered for the purpose of academic evaluation at IIM Jammu.
10.3.7 CGPA of MBA Program of IIM Jammu is based on relative grading in the individual
courses and hence is not convertible into percentages. However, notionally the CGPA may
be multiplied by a factor of 10 to obtain a numerical percentage.

to the Director (Chairperson, Academic Council), who in consultation with the
Academic Council may reconsider his/her case for readmission in the second year with
the upcoming batch in the next academic year. The decision of the director on such an
appeal will be final. However, the student has the provision to appeal only once during
the second year.
10.3.10 A student is terminated from the second year, can appeal for repeating the second year
with the upcoming batch if and only if there is no case of in-discipline during his/ her study
period at IIM Jammu.
10.3.11 Students who have been awarded an F grade (or accumulate 2 D grades) as well as a
CGPA of less than 4.5 at the end of any term in the Program will be asked to withdraw
from all student committees of IIM Jammu.

their grade by reappearing in supplementary end-term exam to be conducted for
that course by paying requisite fee of Rs. 8000/- per course.
(b) Supplementary exam component will be equivalent to the component of End term
exam only and will be added with performance of student in the other remaining
components originally used in the course to arrive at the new final grade. The
grading will be done by applying the original grading ranges used in the course.
(c) The maximum grade which can be earned by a student through the provision of
supplementary exam is ‘C’ grade or lower even when by applying the original

18. INTERNATIONAL STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM (ISEP)
IIM Jammu has developed the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP) with its partner
institutions to provide a cross-cultural exposure with a mutually valuable scholarly global perspective.
IIM Jammu believes these engagements would result in knowledge sharing and dissemination, and
adoption of best business practices from partner institutions in academics and research.
Guidelines for ISEP
1. The students are allowed to go for ISEP during the terms IV, V, and VI only.
2. Students who go on an Exchange Program in term V must take the full course load for students at
their respective partner institution/university, taking only post-graduate level courses that amount
to not less than 150 contact hours over the exchange term. A student can take credit for a maximum
of 30 additional contact hours beyond 150, provided the International Relations Office Committee
approves the course. Thus, a student must earn a minimum of 15 credits while on exchange.
3. Representative course load in the terms is as follows:
a. Term IV: 180 hours (18 credits)
b. Term V: 150 hours (15 credits)
c. Term VI: 150 hours (15 credits)
4. A student not getting a passing grade in a course while on the exchange will not earn any credit.
5. The credits for courses in each exchange institution/university will be released by the partner
institution/university, depending on their course offerings.
6. Students failing to earn the required credits from the ISEP will be asked to make up the deficit by
taking additional course work at IIM Jammu in the sixth term of the same year or the next academic
year and will not be granted the degree till they complete the academic requirements.
7. The deficit from the ISEP cannot be more than three credits. Registering for such an additional
course is subject to meeting the minimum and maximum credits requirements in a term.
8. The Program Office of IIM Jammu will create grade equivalence considering the partner
institution/university grading system which will be placed before the MBA Committee for
recommendation. The decision of the MBA Committee in this regard will be final.
9. The students going for ISEP are required to complete the student exchange process mandated by
International Relations Office. They are supposed to opt for courses that have not been taught in
earlier terms at IIM Jammu.
10. The students must fill the student exchange request form and duly submit it to International
Relations Office to verify the details and approval from the Program Office. The proforma of the
form is attached in Annexure X.
11. No excused absence from attending classes will be granted to students on ISEP who leave before
closing the last term OR arrive late for the following term. Thus, students not attending classes for
the reasons stated above will be marked absent.
12. Students whose exchange term ends later than the start of the sixth term at IIM Jammu can register
with prior permission within a maximum of two weeks from the start of the sixth term. This leeway
is available only if their institution/university term or examinations runs during the first two weeks
of the sixth term.
13. However, even with prior permission, no attendance waiver will be granted for the days missed, and
fines for late registration will apply.
14. A student on exchange with a partner institution/university during IIM Jammu’s Term VI will be
eligible for convocation, provided the exchange term ends in line with the academic calendar of IIM
Jammu.

Page 29 of 68
 15. The students must submit the marksheet/transcript received from the partner institution/university
to the Program Office for conducting grade equivalence and generation of the IIM Jammu transcript.
16. Students of a batch, whose exchange program gets extended beyond IIM Jammu’s date of
convocation for that batch, will not be eligible for convocation of that year and award of medals in
his/ her batch. Such students will be provided a provisional degree by IIM Jammu post completion
of their exchange term. They will receive their degree certificates in the convocation conducted in
the succeeding academic year.
19. FINAL PLACEMENT RULES
The Placement Office will facilitate, guide and counsel the second-year students in securing suitable
final placement at the end of the Program by bringing them in touch with prospective employers.
However, in no way does it guarantee an on-campus placement to them.
(a) Students availing of the placement facility provided by the Institute may be charged a fee as decided
by the Institute from time to time.
(b) Campus interviews for final placement normally commence in the first or second week of October.
(c) Normally no leave of absence from class for attending placement interviews will be allowed until
the end of the Program.
(d) Final placement facilities may not be provided to those students who are in arrears.
The campus placement Program is conducted according to the rules framed each year by the
Placement Office in consultation with the student representatives. Once finalized, the rules are binding
on each student participating in the program, and their violation may disqualify the student(s)
concerned from seeking campus placement.

20. LIVE PROJECTS

Live project means doing the project on a real problem being faced by a company. These projects can be
very important and you’ll get to mention them on your CVs during placements. Institute consciously tries
to initiate its class sessions early in the day so that student can get time to establish connection with
companies around and work on live projects. Anytime kept free by the institute can be used for engaging in
live projects. However, there is no provision of condoning attendance requirements of courses on account
of any engagements w.r.t to the live projects.

21. HOSTEL RULES
