PHASE-I:COURSE WORK

  • The doctoral coursework is a compulsory pre-requisite for all research scholars in the preparation of their doctoral journey. The structure of course work comprises core, flexi-core, and research based courses leading to an understanding of management discipline, building theoretical foundations in the core area, develop basic skills for analyzing managerial problems and instill research interest.
  • In the first year, the scholar shall compulsorily undertake a minimum of 10 credits and a maximum of 12 credits distributed over the three terms.

  • The participant will start working on the primary research problem of the PhD thesis under the guidance of the Thesis Advisory Committee (TAC). Towards the same, at the start of the second year, the scholar is required to initiate the process of formation of TAC as per the Institute norms. The scholar will start working on a research proposal under the guidance of the TAC.
  • The participant will present the draft thesis in an open seminar (Pre-Dissertation Seminars) after the TAC clears the draft for the same. The draft thesis will be modified based on comments received from the TAC and the audience of the public seminar.
  • The scholar will complete 2.00 Credits from Seminar courses which will be based on independent study which scholar will undertake in consultation with the TAC. The evaluation of the doctoral seminar course will be done a committee duly formed by doctoral committee. Another 00 credits will come from the presentation seminar based on the research papers communicated to journals.

PHASE-III: THIRD YEAR ONWARDS

  • From third year onwards, the doctoral dissertation work provides them with an opportunity to make original contributions to an area of management or to one of its disciplines. The scholar is expected to work towards presenting papers at a conference, journal publications and other scholarly contributions.
