MESSAGE

With Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University, we envisioned the creationof a world-class university. To be one of the front-runners in imparting

education in the fields of management, energy & infrastructure,

humanities, engineering and liberal arts. And I am exuberant to announce

that Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University (PDPU) is now one of the

leading international universities of India. In a short span of seven years,

PDPU has reached a crucial juncture when a major transformation is taking

place in the world economy. PDPU now is old enough to create young

professionals who impart significant contributions to the economic and

the social landscape of India.

Today the corporate world seeks a generation of young people who are not

only academically sound, but are also capable to think innovatively. I feel

proud to see the holistic education system of PDPU successfully bringing

the best out of the students.

Id like to reiterate my whole-hearted support for PDPU and wish them all

the very best for their future endeavors and accomplishments.

All the Best!

I feel a great sense of privilege in presenting the class of 2015 to you.

We at the school take pride in creating a set of management graduates

who can dynamically adapt to an ever changing business environment.

We are confident that the exposure imparted to them on campus will be

functionally relevant in the corporate world. As profe ssionals who can lend

value, these young graduates have also been indoctrinated with humility

and integrity as priceless personality attributes.

The two year journey as I see it has been a truly transformational one. It has

been engaging, rigorous, collaborative and has presented a global frame of

reference for the students to internalize and apply to the evolving world of

management. Fine tuning these theories and cases as a generalized view

to all the corporate sectors imbibing the major domains of management

has been a niche and intense experience. These are the learning which our

young graduates extend to you.

I once again welcome you to our campus and hope you will find a set of

students rewired and ready to meet your expectations.

DIRECTORS

MESSAGE

India needs to pay focused attention to industrial development and solvingproblems of growing demand-supply gap in order to sustain both economic

development and rate of growth as envisaged in our development plan.

This is a challenge before all stakeholders and corporate stalwarts.

School of Petroleum Management (SPM) of Pandit Deendayal Petroleum

University has taken a bold step by accepting the challenge to produce

skilled manpower for the industry with highest level of competency, with its

pioneer batch of Energy and Infrastructure Management and the General

Management batch as well.

We need to produce manpower for the country, which is relevant and

employable. SPM has taken many steps in this direction by inviting all

stakeholders in formulating curriculum and syllabus, associating experts

from industry in Boards of Studies and arranging expert-lectures and

case studies, involving MBA students in solving real life problems of the

industry and many more. The continuous student-faculty interaction is one

of the major elements of pedagogy, by which students learn to exercise

their analytical aptitude resulting in innovative solutions of problems. We,

at SPM, are committed to produce relevant and socially useful manpower

required in the current business scenario. I am sure, our highly energetic

and intellectual students will find place to show their potential and worth

in relevant sectors of the industry.

I wish all our students a challenging and bright career ahead.

School of Petroleum Management (SPM) was established in the year 2006 to cater managerial

manpower requirements of oil and gas sector and has soon expanded to serve the larger Energyand Infrastructure sector. With the formation of the Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University

(PDPU) in 2007 the Institute became a constituent body, today popularly known as SPM-PDPU.

The current batch of 2013-15 consists of two distinct programmes, the well established MBA

in Energy & Infrastructure and a newly introduced General Management MBA programme

offering specialization options to students in all important functional management area, viz;

Marketing, Finance, Operations and Human Resource Management.

The six batches of students that have graduated from SPM have got good placements

The industry recognizes MBA Graduates of SPM as most suitable to fulf ill the ir manpower

requirements. We at SPM recognize that a professional programme in management at

postgraduate level must equip students with clear concepts in every functional area of

management. Understanding of business and associated issues, and exposure to industry

practices are equally important for a successful managerial career. Studying the summer

internship projects (SIP) and the companies that took our students for SIPs is strongly

indicative that while domain specialization remains important we have been able to cater to

production, services and consulting organizations. Further, we have also been successful in

attracting a variety of Business and Industry organizations right from Financial Institutions,

Distribution Companies and Production & Operations establishments.

The curriculum at SPM is carefully designed and delivered to impart conceptual knowledge,

provide in-depth understanding of industry and enhance soft skill capabilities. Full-time

residential requirements and two years of engaging co-curricular and extra-curricular activities

also add value to the personality development of our students. Our dedicated team of f ull-time

faculty members are actively engaged in case writing, research and publication and takes deep

interest in shaping-up the young minds. We are fortunate to receive great support from theindustry. Experienced senior executives from industry always help us in our MBA admission

process, designing of curriculum, course development, teaching, research and case writing.

World class academic and physical infrastructure facilitie s on our campus provide a backbone

to creating a healthy and convenient learning environment for teachers and students

Aspirants of a good management education in the fastest growing economy in India either in

Energy and Infrastructure sector or in other aspects of business management, consider SPM-

PDPU very seriously as an option.

We at SPM promise a robust infrastructure, engaging activities, invigorating environment and

award winning curriculum to make our MBAs one notch superior to whatever competition

that exists. Allow me to present my 59 students of MBA General Management 2013-15 batch

seeking your support in their final placement aspirations for a lucrative, fulfilling and rewarding

career with an opportunity to continue their learning beyond SPM.

Club MARCOM

Club MARCOM is the MARketing and COMmunications club of SPM. In this

competitive business scenario, marketing of products and values has become

a necessity. The corporate world is run by brands and not just by products/

services. Marketing, these days, is as important for business to business

(B2B), as it is for the business to customer (B2C) segment. At MARCOM, we

understand this and try to awaken the marketer in each of us through various

activities such as presentations, Adwise/Admad- the ad making competitions,

jargons, interactive discussions, GDs, book reviews etc. These activities also

help in developing the communication skills and out of the box thinking,

much needed to survive in the world of marketing. It is here that the students

of SPM learn the concepts of marketing in the various segments be it B2B,

B2C and C2C; and hence, making the students of SPM practical enough to be

challenged anywhere.

Club ENERGY

Energy Club is an initiative by students to add a new flavour, a new theme and

to capture the pulse of the campus. It gives an extra edge to understand, learn

and share knowledge on a common platform. This translates to enhance the

students intellect for their managerial domain from their peers and industry

experts.

Club FINNACLE

FINNACLE is a knowledge sharing platform which gives opportunity to cope

up with the constantly evolving world of Finance. Weekly activities such as

Debates, Quizzes, Guest Sessions and Presentations help expand the horizon

in the world of Finance. The conceptual clarity is achieved by the interactive

discussions among the students. News crunching sessions helps gaining

insight to the latest developments in the markets. With this the students

are able to withstand the circumstances of the bear market and ace the bull

market.

Clubs promise a unique melting pot of ideas, values, experiences, joy

rides, friendly terrains, grit, inspiration, and leadership and above all a

tremendous learning opportunity for all. Presentations on different

topics, Guest sessions, Debates, Discussion Forums, Quizzes, News

Crunches are a few activities that these clubs perform regularly. The

underlying philosophy of the clubs is to use students spare time

for personal growth. It not only helps in gaining knowledge but also

sharpens the communication skills.

STUDENTS

CLUBS

Club OPERE SHONZU

discussing about the latest tools and software used in industry

for optimizing the operations. At large such activities help

students to integrate the academics with real time operations

going on in the industry.

Club COGNIVIDS

It is a well known fact that the human mind understands

and retains the most if something is conveyed in the form of

audio + video, ergo, we have Club Cognivids - the movies /

documentaries club of SPM. It is the youngest club of SPM. Theobjective behind starting this club is to inculcate a documentary

culture in the students. Every week, the trailers of three

documentaries are shown to the students and a winning entry is

decided through polling. This winning entry is then showcased

in the club. After the documentary is over, an interactive

discussion on the same is conducted. These documentaries

help the students to broaden the horizons of their knowledge

and develop a better thought process. Once in a while, a

movie is also showcased in the club to take some load off from

everyones mind

Club HR

The HR club is the youngest club at SPM, hardly a year old. It

comprises of HR student members from the junior as well as

senior batch to involve all the students and make them think

from different perspectives by placing practical illustrations.

The HR club started as an initiative to give a boost to the HR

activities in the college. The main motive of the HR club is to

spearhead activities that could remove the traditional myths

surrounding HR as a function and to create awareness regarding

the importance of HR function in the current business scenario.

It facilitates the functioning of the Centre of Excellence for HR.

It provides a platform to the student community to understand

and enhance their knowledge in this field by getting associated

with the faculty, participating in events and contributing through

articles.

Chai Ki Tapri pe Sessions

A conversation between a student and a faculty at SPM led to

the beginning of this club. The aim of this club is to make the

students more aware of the latest happenings in the world

and making them more connected to the real world and hencelessening the difference between an SPMite and Graduate from

some other B-School.

The session includes a class discussion on current affairs, latest

trends in the sector and market as a whole etc. The topic to

be discussed is decided a week in advance and a very healthy,

learning and fruitful discussion takes place. Quite a few sessions

have taken place but the knowledge acquired is immense. The

session has 2-3 people who will be hosting the event so that it

goes in a smooth way.
