Our Programmes
Post Graduate Diploma in Construction Project Management (PGDCPM)
“Under JNTUH affiliation”
Overview
This interdisciplinary Programme of studies builds upon the concepts and methodologies of management, engineering, architecture, law, information technology, social and behavioural sciences and combines theory with practice. The curriculum is a judicious blend of theoretical and applied courses both in general management and construction management, accompanied by practical experience and research work.
Theoretical courses aim to improve the student’s understanding of certain fundamental phenomena and relationships that characterize the changing world in which managers must operate. Applied courses, which occupy the bulk of the student’s time, link the theoretical studies to practice problems in the construction, infrastructure, and real estate development projects. Practical experience is gained by a student through construction practice, site visits and summer training where he/she learns to practice the newly acquired management skills under the supervision of an expert.
