Ph.D. Admissions

The IIMA Doctoral Programme welcomes individuals with a solid academic foundation, a high level of motivation, and the intellectual curiosity to do innovative research. The curriculum prepares students for careers in academia and industrial research.

Candidates may submit applications for the following areas of high levels of specialization: (1) Agriculture (2) Economics (3) Finance & Accounting (4) Human Resource Management (5) Information Systems (6) Innovation and Management in Education (7) Marketing (8) Operations & Decision Sciences (9) Organizational Behavior (10) Public Systems and (11) Strategy.

Students spend an average of four to five years in the programme, which includes two years of intensive coursework. Beginning with the first term, students take advanced Doctoral level courses in their area of high levels of specialization, as well as some suggested Post Graduate Programme (PGP) courses that provide a comprehensive management overview and develop fundamental skills for analysing managerial issues. After completing the coursework, students must pass an Area Comprehensive Examination to demonstrate that they have attained a high level of expertise in their area of high levels of specialization. Students then work on their doctoral dissertations. It is intended that these dissertations will make original contributions to an area of management or one of management's parent disciplines.   Students admitted to the programme get a comprehensive fellowship that covers all expenses and provides for living expenses. IIMA has excellent computing facilities, library, and faculty resources. IIMA faculty members actively publish in scholarly journals and advise with businesses and governments in and out of the country. Case writing and related research are actively pursued by the faculty and students.

The Doctoral Programme places its graduates in teaching, research, and consulting roles with world class organizations. A total of 451 doctoral students have graduated from IIMA so far.  

Basic Eligibility Criteria

Candidates must possess-

A Master's Degree or Two-year Post Graduate Diploma (obtained after completing a bachelor's degree with 55% marks or equivalent) or a 5-year Integrated Master's Degree (obtained after completing higher secondary school in the 10+2 pattern) in any field with 55% marks or equivalent. (OR) Professional qualification - CA, CS, CMA (with a minimum of 50% marks) in addition to a bachelor's degree (with at least 55% marks). (OR)  A four-year / eight-semester Bachelor's degree with a minimum CGPA of 6.5/10 or comparable grades.

Note that the Bachelor's/ Master's degree or equivalent qualification should be from any of the Universities incorporated by an act of the central or state legislature in India or other educational institutions established by an act of Parliament or declared to be deemed as a University under section 3 of UGC Act, 1956; or be recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India; or  possess an equivalent qualification from an institution approved by AICTE.

Candidates in their last year of a Master's/ Bachelor's programme that would qualify them to apply may also apply. Such candidates, if selected, will only be allowed to join the programme provisionally if they submit a certificate latest by May 31, 2024 from the Principal/Head of the Department/Registrar or Director of the university/institute (issued on or before May 31, 2024) stating that they have appeared for the examinations (including practical examinations) in all the subjects required for obtaining the Master's/Bachelor’s degree/equivalent qualification.

Their admission will be confirmed when they submit mark sheets and a certificate of having completed the Master's/Bachelor’s degree/equivalent qualification referred in the certificate issued by the Principal/Registrar of their college/institution. The deadline for the submission of Marksheet and the Certificate is December 31, 2024.

Please note that those candidates who have applied on the basis of   their master's degree will have to meet the 55% marks stipulation, and those who have applied on the basis of their bachelor's degree will have to meet the 6.5 CGPA (or equivalent) marks stipulation.   Non-fulfilment of these conditions will automatically result in the cancellation of the provisional admission.

A backbenchers take on Jadavpur University!

Campus life.

Campus Life is pretty fun. Because of the large size of the campus many fests are organized from time to time along with a host of other events. The arts department, science department and engineering department each has their own fests spanning over 2-3 days each. There are mainly two types of libraries: departmental library and central library. One can also get their hands on research papers through computer rooms (each department has one). But the quality of computers are a bit lagging with out of date hardware and softwares being used. Other than that it's pretty good. Now, coming to clubs there are many choices ranging from dramatics to sports club. Each club organises their own event from time to time over a year.

I faced an interview process where I had to present by research proposal. One can prepare a PPT and present it infront of the interviewers. Questions will be asked from the topic presented. The interviewee has to defend the proposal put forward by him/her. In order to defend a proposal one has to be adequately be versed in the topic being presented. For that, one has to devote a good amount of time in finding out as to why such a research is needed and what can be contributed in research literature through such a topic.

Davangere University

The Davangera University is situated in Karnataka. This University is UGC as well as AICTE discerned. My experience at this university was enormous. This university is famous for its Post Graduation courses as well as for Bed. You will get all the facilities such as Hostel, canteen, bank, etc inside the University Campus.

I was a student of PhD in economics at this university. You can get the admission in PhD on the basis of entrance test. Another criterion to get the admission in PhD is that you must hold a Master degree of any recognized University with 55% marks.

My experience in this college has been amazing

The college has various well-equipped labs, enormous sports ground, where a variety of sports tournaments are hosted and a variety of college events like national day celebrations, college fests, inter-college competitions etc are held.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee is a little expensive, but it is lesser than various colleges providing the same course and the same facilities. The fee for my course is around INR 75,000 and for the entire three-year course, the fee is around INR 225,000.

Durg College Review

Placement experience.

Our Placement Cell was highly driven to match the reputation and the merit that the college stands for. The country's top companies like Axis Bank, Policy Bazaar, Decathlon, Vivo, Just Dial, L& T Finance etc., were all frequently visited.

Course Curriculum Overview

Ph.D in Economics is a very common course a lot of people will do. While the research work was going on we were asked to submit six month progress reports and was asked to give atleast two Presentations. It was not a tedious process.

Sardar Patel Institute of Economic and Social Research - [SPIER]

The course curriculum is structured beautifully and will be taken well by the students aspiring to take up research as their career especially in the field of economics. The syllabus is good in terms of excellent exposure to many interesting research areas.

College Events

We have most of our focus on the seminars an educational conferences based on the economic subject. Many good things and useful information is taught to us in those seminars. Other than that there are no other events celebrated as such.

Nirupam Saha

Gurukul of India.

Campus life is full of creative,enthusiasts, smart peoples and critics. The culture of campus is full of art lovers, such as of theater, singing, dancing, photographers, sculptures , linguists ,and more. The university team almost every year brings National prizes in the inter-university youth competitions. In sports the university reaches state and national levels too, and have also brought few national prizes in women basketball, men football , chess etc,

The faculty of the college are learned, well qualified and friendly. The student teacher ratio is very good. The teachers are dedicated towards the teaching as well as very much devoted to their own research interests. The department is blessed with a variety of teachers affiliated to different field of study on the subject. The departmental faculty academic culture is heterogenous in nature and both mainstream as well as radicals belong here.
