Now you might wonder how one can become a sports management professional, especially if you

The answer is simple; enrol in IISM’s Post Graduate Program in Sports Management  
(PGPSM).

sporting industry. They will also learn exciting subjects like sports management, sports 
marketing,  sports law, sports analytics, sports sponsorships, sports public relations, financial 
management,  and strategic management among others. These subjects better train the individual

This is the major difference between a general postgraduate program and a specialised  
postgraduate program in sports management. IISM will teach you all there is to learn about how  
to implement the learnings of management into the world of sports. Since the duration of PGPSM

but also get hands-on experience by working at prominent sporting ventures happening across the  
country. This gives them a better idea of what is needed from them when they graduate and are  
ready to take on the challenges of the sporting world. Some of our PGPSM students have gotten  
opportunities to intern at prominent sporting events across the country like IPL, Khelo India  
Games, etc.
The learning does not stop at getting internships at IPL, Khelo India Games, etc. After the  
completion of the course, the students also get excellent placement opportunities at India’s  
leading sporting organizations in both the private and the government sectors. This is the reason  
why PGPSM is opted by many as it helps students interested in learning about the sporting world  
get a better chance of exploring varied verticals of the sports industry.

pursue after PGPSM. Some exciting career options one can pursue after PGPSM are: –
