FPM Process
The FPM consists of two major phases. In the first phase, the participants will attend courses in the first two years. In the first year, most of the courses are from the Post Graduate Programme (PGP) and builds the fundamental understanding in Management. In the second year, all the courses are designed exclusively for the FPM that strengthen the specialization area of the participants. Along with the second year courses, a participant will be undertaking a pre-thesis dissertation work. At the end of first year, the participants will undertake a Summer Internship facilitated by the Institute. After two years, the participants are expected to pass a comprehensive viva voce examination to infer that they have acquired the necessary capabilities to undertake independent research. The transition from one year to the next year is based on stipulated performance of the participants.
In the second phase, the participant will develop and present a research proposal. After undertaking the required research as proposed, the participant will submit the doctoral thesis before the end of fourth year. The submission of thesis will be permitted after the participant publishes a peer reviewed international journal article (or a paper is accepted for publication) and a national/international conference proceedings paper. During the course work, the participants will be mentored by the faculty advisor and followed, in the third year, by a research advisory committee consisting of three faculty members to guide the research and the dissertation writing. The thesis will be examined by a panel of experts who are well recognized in the research domain of the thesis.

The participant with an IIM PGDM is exempted from the first year PGP coursework. All the participants are permitted to submit the thesis after spending three years at the institute.
