FPM at IMI Kolkata Offline Course

The Programme - 

IMI Kolkata offers ample opportunities for advanced study and research. The primary focus of the programme is to prepare qualified candidates for academic careers in research, teaching and consultancy. The programme includes intensive formal courses as well as individually pursued self- study or seminar courses on special topics. The research scholars are expected to work closely with the Institute’s well-known faculty, both inside and outside the classroom.

Programme Duration - 

The programme consists of two phases. The first phase of the programme involves course work for two years followed by a comprehensive examination (CE). The CE based on research scholar’s chosen area of interest will be taken after completion of the course work. The CE serves as a gateway to the dissertation as the means to ensure that research scholars have the background knowledge to do a doctoral dissertation.

The second phase requires scholars to work on their thesis. This involves the preparation of thesis proposal, pursuing research on this proposal, and finally an examination based on the thesis leading to FPM. Under the guidance of esteemed faculty, a bright student can complete the programme within four years.
