"Learning that is redundant is no longer knowledge. That is why IIM Lucknow continuously updates the courses it offers. In so doing, it allows the students to keep abreast with the latest developments and techniques in management.
This institute follows a case-based teaching methodology. By giving students a glimpse of situations faced in the real world, we help them find patterns in what initially looks random. The result? An individual who can not only respond to any unstructured situation, but also one who revels in the exercise.
Fully enabled lecture theatres, with state-of-the-art audio-visual tools help our students present all aspects of a study. Regular presentations help them to become both knowledgeable individuals and persuasive speakers.
The global business arena is in the midst of a metamorphosis – the final result can only be conjectured at. But one thing is certain – whatever tomorrow is, the students of IIM Lucknow will build it. Their knowledge is not static – and in an environment where one often has to run hard to stand still, this institute prides itself of the fact that its students walk confidently ahead of the rest.
The characteristic features of the Post Graduate Programme are as follows :
- The programme is designed as an integrated whole to generate maximum synergy among its components.

Academic Evaluation
The academic performance evaluation system is viewed as a means to promote learning process, and is designed to assess the ability of the student to apply knowledge for problem-solving and increasing organisational effectiveness. The evaluation is a continuous process based on assignments, quizzes, project work, seminar presentation, viva-voce, mid-term test and final examination.
A ten-point grading scale with corresponding letter grades is used as follows:
| Letter Grade | A+ | A | A- | B+ | B | B- | C+ | C | C- | D | F |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grade Point | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
The Term Grade Point Average and Cumulative Grade Point Average are computed in each term as the credit-weighted averages of individual grades in and up to each term respectively. The academic criteria for continuation in the programme, promotion to Second Year, and award of diploma, are specified in the PGP Manual which lays down the policies and procedures governing the programme. The Manual is given to all students at the time of registration at the beginning of the academic session.

Hence the IIM Lucknow International Exchange Programme initiative – a process through which our students do a part of their studies in Business Schools all around the world. At the same time, foreign students and teachers come to IIM Lucknow to understand the working and mindset of one of the potentially largest markets in the world.
