From Classroom to Boardroom: How RIMS Bridges the Gap Between Theory and Corporate Practice

In today’s dynamic business environment, possessing theoretical knowledge alone is no longer sufficient to secure leadership roles. What employers truly value are individuals who can seamlessly bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world corporate applications. Ramaiah Institute of Management Studies (RIMS) understands this and has designed its PGDM program to create professionals who are not only academically sound but also industry-ready.

The Balance Between Theory and Practice

At RIMS, we believe that business theories are crucial for understanding the core principles of management. However, equally important is learning how to apply those theories in a practical, results-driven business setting. Our PGDM curriculum combines rigorous academic instruction with hands-on experiences that allow students to transition smoothly from the classroom to the boardroom.

Courses such as Strategic Management, Operations, and Financial Analysis are taught with real-world case studies, simulations, and live projects that mimic corporate challenges. This experiential learning approach ensures that students understand not just the “what” but the “how” behind business strategies.

Industry-Centric Curriculum

The RIMS PGDM program is constantly updated to reflect the latest trends and demands of the business world. We work closely with industry leaders to ensure that our curriculum addresses the current needs of employers and equips our students with the tools to be competitive in today’s job market.

Our Corporate Interaction Programs include:

  • Guest Lectures: Experts from top organizations share their insights on emerging business trends.
  • Industry Projects: Students work on real-world problems in collaboration with companies.
  • Internships: Hands-on industry experience gives students exposure to corporate operations, enhancing their practical knowledge.

Transformative Learning via Internships and Live Projects

A significant part of the PGDM journey at RIMS includes internships and live projects. These opportunities allow students to apply the theories learned in the classroom to solve business challenges, giving them real-world experience long before they graduate.

RIMS’ extensive network of corporate partners offers students the chance to intern with some of the top companies across sectors such as finance, marketing, operations, and human resources. By working on live projects, students gain a comprehensive understanding of business operations, develop critical problem-solving skills, and improve their leadership abilities.

The Role of Soft Skills in Corporate Success

Beyond technical and theoretical knowledge, success in the corporate world also depends heavily on soft skills. At RIMS, we provide training in essential areas such as:

  • Communication and Presentation Skills
  • Team Collaboration
  • Negotiation and Conflict Resolution
  • Leadership Development

Our dedicated soft skills training modules ensure that students can confidently present their ideas, work effectively in teams, and lead projects to successful outcomes—skills that are highly valued in any organization.
