This programme has been designed to suit the needs of students from India and other countries in the Afro-Asian region. The programme helps the technically qualified engineers and architects to develop requisite managerial skills and further sharpen the technical skills to manage and execute the complex and large engineering projects. The curriculum is a judicious blend of theoretical and applied courses both in general management and construction management accompanied with practical experience and project work. Theoretical courses aim to improve the student’s understanding of fundamental concepts and relationships that characterise the changing world in which managers must operate. Applied courses, which occupy the bulk of the students’ time, link the theoretical studies to practical 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 the students learn to practice their newly acquired managerial skills under the supervision of an expert. Research gives the ability of scientific analysis of a problem and report writing skills. Computer application skills and knowledge in managerial decision making are imparted through special courses in workshops / seminars. This programme commenced in 1987 with UNDP and ILO technical assistance procured for NICMAR by the Government of India. The syllabi were first developed in 1986 at an international workshop of experts of management in the construction industry and in co-operation with the faculty members of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Michigan (USA), Loughborough University (UK), Indian Institute of Management (Ahmedabad) and other leading management and technology institutes in India and several industry leaders. The programme is structured to prepare NICMAR graduates for undertaking professional responsibilities demanding high proficiency in skills of applications of latest information technology, people management, project finance, international markets - all with a special reference to infrastructure development and real estate projects. The curriculum has been reviewed from time to time to incorporate the latest advancements in Construction, Real Estate, Infrastructure and Project (CRIP) industry and built a strong competence in diversified areas. All students who successfully complete the programme are recruited by reputed Construction, Real Estate, Infrastructure and Project (CRIP) companies through the campus placements. Consulting Organisations and Companies from manufacturing / service sectors also visit the Campus for recruitment. OBJECTIVES The objective of this programme is to develop a mature and responsible IT savvy professional techno-manager with an emphasis on managing construction business / projects at domestic and global level, who can accomplish responsibility in diverse fields and has following competencies: - Sound knowledge of the theory and practice of corporate management. - Skills and techniques of construction project management. - Knowledge and application of latest technologies. - Proficiency in finance and people management skills. - Understanding of construction and real estate development business, management of facilities, building services and infrastructure development projects. - Facility to apply the knowledge and skills to the effective delivery of the projects. - Competency to handle a project in the specialised construction sector. - Knowledge of information technology tools for professionalizing IT system in construction.

Students are permitted to take up group projects wherever found suitable and approved by the Institute. These are evaluated by external examiners, wherever possible. viii. Summer Training As part of the curriculum each student has to undergo supervised field training with a reputed construction firm for 8 to 10 weeks. During this period they can do their project work for which they have to select a live problem of the concerned company / industry and get it approved from the Institute. Therefore, the summer work will make students’ research an applied research in the area of construction management. Agencies for practical training are carefully selected. The host agency is expected to nominate a senior officer to supervise the student’s work, be willing to pay a stipend to the student and hopefully may offer employment to the student trained by it. What the Institute looks for is meaningful and supervised work experience for the student. Sponsored students may be allowed to do training in their own organisations. Students are expected to arrange their summer training on their own. REGULAR TEACHING FACULTY Faculty is the foundation on which NICMAR programmes are designed to grow. Therefore careful attention is paid to attract the best talent from the world of academia as well as the industry. Faculty categories are as below: - Core / Permanent Faculty - Adjunct Faculty - Visiting Faculty - Guest Faculty STUDENTS’ DEVELOPMENT NICMAR has a number of schemes in place to provide full or partial financial support to a variety of student activities. The Institute strongly believes that these activities contribute to the all round development of the student personality. PEDAGOGY NICMAR believes that the method of instruction for maximising learning would vary from course to course, and therefore, uses a host of pedagogic approaches in different courses such as case studies, lectures, group and individual exercises, class projects and simulation of business environment. DISCIPLINE AND CODE OF CONDUCT Students shall be courteous and formal in conduct with faculty and staff at all times. Also, they are expected to extend courtesies to all the management, faculty, administrative and support 7 staff, failing which an appropriate disciplinary action shall be taken against the erring student. A Code of Conduct for the students is issued at the time of admission. It is mandatory for all students to follow it. ASSESSMENT Assessment of students’ performance is done as per Guidelines of Academic Administration available in a printed booklet on request. The NICMAR learning system de-emphasises lecturing and examination system by balancing classroom learning and practical work in overall assessment. Coursework comprises 80.60% of total inputs while the practice workshops, summer training and the project work cover the rest. Overall, assessment by examinations has 56.41% weightage and the rest of 43.59% is through concurrent internal or joint assessment. i. Weightages The curriculum of ACM comprises course work, practice workshops, summer training and project work. The relative weightage of each component in the total package of 304 credit points is shown below: Item Total Credits Weightage % Course Work Practice Workshops Summer Training Project Work 245 39 4 16 80.60 12.82 1.32 5.26 Total 304 100 Thirty percent of the course work and all practice workshops are subject to Concurrent Internal Assessment (CIA). Examinations are held for 70% of course work. Project work and summer training are assessed jointly by project guide and external experts. The relative weightages of different methods of assessment are as under: Method Total Credits Weightage % Examination Concurrent Internal Assessment J oint Assessment 171.50 112.50 20.00 56.41 37.00 06.59 Total 304 100 ii. Examinations The Term-end examination is of 70 marks (each paper) and will be of 2.5 hour duration. The Term-end examination may have the following components. a. Essay type questions. b. Structured or short answer questions. c. Questions involving computations and derivations. d. Case analysis. It is to be noted that the Term-end examination covers the entire syllabus of the courses taught during the term and also any additional information given by the teacher during lectures. iii. Concurrent Internal Assessment Concurrent Internal Assessment (CIA) is for 30% marks out of a total of 100 allotted for each course. The student must secure a minimum of 40 marks in a course for passing. The Concurrent Internal Assessment is done on a continuous basis by the teacher of the course concerned. The internal assessment can be based on one or a combination of the following: (a) a mid-term examination, (b) an essay type assignment on a topic assigned by the course teacher, (c) the student’s overall performance in the class, and (d) a presentation in the class on a selected and relevant topic. iv. Joint Assessment Students’ Project Works are subject to J oint Assessment by the Project Guide and an External Expert appointed for the purpose. The assessment may constitute a Viva Voce. A panel of experts is especially constituted for the purpose. The internship is also assessed jointly by the company supervisor of the student and a faculty member, both nominated during the summer training. v. Failure Cases NICMAR’s Post Graduate Programmes are high profile programmes to which students of a high calibre are admitted through a process of rigorous evaluation of their competence. It is, therefore, expected that no student will fail in any subject or will delay submission of project work without valid reasons. However, if any student fails to obtain minimum passing marks in any subject, his / her overall result will be withheld. Such a student will have to take examination by paying re-exam fees of Rs. 2000/- per subject along with the next trimester and obtain the minimum passing marks, so as to enable him / her to qualify in the course. Similarly, non-submission of project work on time is viewed with displeasure. A candidate is not considered to have completed the programme unless he / she submits the project work, is adjudged as satisfactory, and given the ratings by the Examiner/s appointed for the purpose. If the students wish to get their examination paper/s re-evaluated then this can be done on payment of re-evaluation fees of Rs. 1000 per paper. vi. Grading System Evaluation will be on a trimester basis. At the end of every trimester, a Trimester Performance Index (TPI) and Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) will be calculated. Student should clear all subjects for passing the programme.
