The Institute of Management Development and Research (IMDR) in Pune, India, is the oldest management institution in Pune. It has three full-time programmes: Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM), Post Graduate Diploma in International Trade (PGDIT)and Post Graduate Diploma in Human Resources (PGDHR), along with its other part-time programmes.
[edit] Eligibility
All candidates to the PGDM of IMDR are required to take the CAT (Common Admission Test) of the Indian Institutes of Management (IIM).
[edit] History
Institute of Management Development and Research (IMDR) was founded by Dr R. T. Doshi and Shri Sumatilal Shah in 1974, as a constituent unit of the Deccan Education Society. They were closely associated with Wrangler G. S. Mahajani, who had served as the Principal of Fergusson College, Pune and later, as the Vice Chancellor of the Pune University.
In 1973, Wrangler Mahajani in his capacity as the Vice Chancellor, suggested to the D. E. Society that a new institution be formed to impart Management Education under its aegis. Dr Doshi and Shri Shah not only made large donations but also mobilized funds from their friends and associates. It is with these funds that the main building of IMDR was constructed on the historic Fergusson Campus.
Wr. Mahajani made the suggestion to set up an institute outside the University, from a point of view that the professional and inter-disciplinary nature of Management Education required a different ambience. From 1974 to 1977, IMDR conducted the courses under affiliation to the University. It took over the MBA programme of the MBA Centre of the University of Pune and the DBM programme, run in the BMCC (a sister institution) since 1968. Affiliated to the University of Pune, the IMDR was also a recognised centre for research leading to Ph.D. Autonomy.
In 1977, the IMDR became an autonomous institution by voluntarily delinking from the University of Pune. Since then it has carried on its activities, independent of the University or other statutory bodies. This step was taken to make the teaching programmes, methods of teaching and examination more comprehensive, more flexible and more result-oriented.
