Rigorous coursework focused on research training
The program is designed to help students complete their dissertation within a period of five years. In the first eighteen months, students are required to complete a coursework which exposes them to general management subjects, fundamental courses to gain an appreciation of management research, advanced courses in their respective areas of specialization and courses in research methodologies. In total a student has to earn a minimum of 54 credits.
The curriculum has undergone a careful modulation recently which has further increased its emphasis on research training. Students begin with doctoral level courses from the first term itself, and are required to opt for only a few select PGPM level courses for the requisite exposure to general management inputs.
