Fellow Programme in Management (FPM)
The Fellow Programme in Management (FPM) is the doctoral programme of IIMA. FPM admits students who have a strong academic background, are highly motivated and who have the intellectual curiosity to undertake original research. The doctoral programme prepares students for a career in academia or research positions in industry. Students generally take four to five years, including two years of rigorous course work, to complete their doctorate.
