In an epoch of scientific and industrial uprisings, education is undergoing swift changes. Information technology and cognitive science are driving the transition from education 1.0 to learning 2.0. which is kept in mind while developing the PGDM course syllabus. PGDM course colleges in India need to acclimatize to this new milieu by encouraging a human-machine relationship, teacher-student interaction, life-long learning, and ubiquitous learning. A mix of online and face-to-face teaching is one example of how PGDM course institutes can diversify their provision beyond bricks and mortar, even after the threat of COVID 19 ends. Thus, an institute offering a PGDM course should develop strategic thinking to achieve relentless innovation and become more robust. It comes down to the following aspects: holistic thinking, practical thinking, and bottom-line thinking, as well as an excellence-oriented and open approach to education. In times of crisis, keeping the big picture in mind and maintaining smooth coordination among different units will enable a PGDM institute to respond quickly and achieve shared goals.
