Pathak in the 1960s in response to a competition organized by Prof. Ravi J. Matthai, which translates to "it is the application of knowledge that leads to one's overall development."[25]

Placements for the PGP and PGP-FABM courses are characterized by two phases – summer placements for the first-year batch and final placements for the graduating batch. The summers process is conducted in Nov/Dec for the first year. The second-year placement committee handles the process for them. The placement process for graduating is conducted in two stages. The first is the laterals process in January where firms interview students with prior work experience and offer them mid-level managerial positions. The second stage is the final placement process in around February. This process is handled by the newly elected committee among the PGP1s to avoid any conflict of interest and ensure a fair process. Companies from multiple sectors across different geographies hire candidates for a wide range of functions[56]

Placements for the One Year MBA (PGPX) course happen in two phases for the graduating batch.
