Is Amity University Noida good for part-time PhD in Management?
Amity University Noida isn’t a good option for a part-time Ph.D. in Management. If you want to do a Ph.D. just for the sake of getting a degree, then you can go for it. But if you are genuinely interested in research then it will be better if you prepare for UGC NET.
How is the FPM in Finance at IIM Indore, Lucknow, Kozhikode?
The FPM or the Fellow Program in Management is a full-time, residential, fully financially supported doctoral program of the Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode.
One of my friends joined IIM Kozhikode for research under financial accounting and control. According to her, the first year is full of rigor and a rigid curriculum. The FPM students share the curriculum with MBA students in the first year along with 3 FPM courses. The shared curriculum enables them to get in insight into various aspects of Management.
Like the first year, the second to has 3 semesters of 3 months each. This year comprises core FOm courses that give a depth understanding of methodologies and various econometric tools.
One major drawback my friend faced was the improper ratio between the number of courses and their period of study. The second year has 7 courses in each term which imply 12 days per subject which is insufficient. If we consider the 30 hours of classes per course, it means we attend classes for 210 hrs ( appr 8 days).
So IIM Kozhikode no doubt offers top-notch facilities and resources but you will have to prepare yourself to physically and mentally tire yourself to avail of them. FPM is an excellent course for research aspirants and not for casual learners.
Is an FPM from a newer IIM, say Udaipur, worth it or should I try again next year?
The current leading USP of IIM Udaipur is its highly enriched research culture which has made it among the top IIMs in this aspect specifically. The NIRF rankings also speak of its rising status over the last few years. Some highlights of the FPM program from IIM Udaipur are
Some world-class faculties from IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta visit the campus of IIM Udaipur to spread their knowledge and sophistication to FPM students. This is done through coaching programs and workshops where you can identify your inclinations and talents.
The faculty of the FPM department is dynamic and capable of a concerted arrangement required to produce research through its students and themselves.
Research is something that requires your efforts at a personal level. So joining a 2-year Research program will be beneficial to you only. You can also switch to better research programs or even redo your Ph.D.
To initiate a career in research, one needs serious personal commitment, else there are many instances wherein people have failed to make a career in research. The newer IIMs offer little scope in this aspect and Udaipur is an exception. So don’t lose this opportunity and go for it without much thought.
