True strength of EDPM program at IIM Trichy is that it gives you an opportunity to explore best of both worlds - academia and practice. You internalize a theory from a systematic review of literature and look at your practice at work through that lens, at the same time you assess a problem statement at your work and bring it back to research arena to analyze it with the methodological rigor. It is an 'experience' that will not only change your outlook about research and practice but leaves you with inquisitiveness to expand your territory of cognition, as well as action. All of this is possible only because of highly proficient and research-oriented faculty members at IIM Trichy, who despite their frenetic schedule take time out to guide you on the right path, to take on a fruitful & eventful journey!

EDPM of IIM Trichy has been one of the best learning experiences so far for me. The faculty members are highly supportive yet demand excellence, and more importantly work to ensure the subject being taught is actually learnt and internalised. Coming back to studies after over 2 decades, I have been able to cope with the rigor and academic demands primarily because of the highly enabling environment of the institute, especially the members of the faculty.

EDPM is a very nicely designed program which in a phase wise manner introduces the research methodology to the participants. The course content is carefully selected in line with their relevance to the discipline of the student. The program acknowledges that the participants know a bit about their subjects and hence the emphasis is to build upon the same rather than teaching the subjects from basics. A mix of internal and external faculty takes the sessions in a systematic manner. The best part of the program is the flexibility which this program offers. This makes it extremely suitable for working professionals who have other professional obligations to attend.

EDPM at IIM Trichy is a meticulously crafted course for management professionals passionate about learning, teaching, and research. The course curriculum equips scholars with the most relevant research tools in their areas of interest. The depth and breadth of the course are second to none. The highly experienced faculty members bring academic rigor to the curriculum while hand-holding and bridging the gaps in understanding for those scholars who have been away from academics for a long. All scholars get remote and physical access to the learning resource center, which includes an incredible library with an extensive collection of books, databases, journals, and magazines required for research.
EPDM scholars also get to spend some time each term at the serene and lush green campus of IIM Trichy, making the learning experience memorable.
