Instructions
For Filling Up The Application Form
An applicant is required to submit a Fellow Program
(FP) Application Form 2013 for each area of specialization that (s)he applies
for. Completed Application Form(s) must be submitted along with an Application
Fee of Rs. 500/-. This fee should be paid by a crossed demand draft for Rs.
500/- payable to "Indian Institute of Management Calcutta" on a bank

When applying to two areas of specialization, an
applicant is required to submit two separate application forms, complete in all
respects, one for each area of specialization. However, a single payment of the

For each area of specialization applied for, two
letters of recommendation (in the prescribed format) are required. Blank forms
for recommendation letters, and instructions on how to return them, are
