IIM Sirmaur Ph.D : Fees 2025, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Candidates require a valid test score of CAT/GMAT/GATE/GRE/UGC-JRF or IIM Sirmaur’s Research Aptitude Test (RAT).

Candidates must have obtained any one of the following qualifications after higher secondary school (10+2) or equivalent:

• A Master's Degree in any discipline with 55 percent marks or a two-year post-graduate diploma with at least 55 percent marks along with a Bachelor’s degree with at least 55 per cent marks
• A 5-year Integrated Master’s Degree with at least 55 percent marks (obtained after completing higher secondary schooling in 10+2 pattern) in any discipline
• A professional qualification like CA, ICWA, or CS (with at least 50 percent marks) along with a Bachelor’s degree (with at least 55 percent marks)
• A 4-year/ 8 semester Bachelor's degree (10+2+4 pattern) with at least 6 CGPA.

Note: The percentage of marks obtained by the candidate would be calculated based on the practice as followed by their respective University/Institution. In case of grades / CGPA, the conversion to percentage of marks would be based on the procedure as certified by the respective University/ institution. If any University/institution confirms that there is no scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by dividing the candidate’s CGPA by the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the result with 100.

Applicants must have work experience of at least 10 years after graduation, either in industry or academics.

Internal Research Aptitude Test (RAT): On the day of the interview, IIM Sirmaur will conduct an offline Research Aptitude Test at IIM Sirmaur.

The participants are expected to complete their thesis in four to six years.

IIMS proposes to enroll at least 10 Executive Ph.D. candidates, preferably one in each area of specialization.
