Ques. What is the cost of doing FPM in ISB Hyderabad?

● Top Answer By Ritesh Agarwal on 26 Mar 21

Ans. It is to be cleared first that the FPM course is completely equivalent to a Ph.D degree. It takes approximately 4-5 years to complete, along with accurate learning and research work. The fact is that ISB generally pays Rs. 40000 as a stipend along with House Allowances to the candidates who are doing FPM on a full-time basis. Thereby you are not required to pay anything from their own pocket, but they can earn 40 thousand per month. However, the most important thing is that FPM requires accuracy to complete the study without spending money. So, you have to study with full accuracy, and earn support from this institute to carry on your personal and family expenses.

Ques. Can you become a professor in IIMs or IITs after FPM from new IIMs, like Rohtak or Raipur?

● Top Answer By Biplab Roy on 21 Jan 23

Ans. Becoming a professor from the new IIMs is definitely possible but rare. The FPM program offered at the new IIMs has varied peers some being freshers while some with Masters from foreign universities. The following things matter when selecting an Assistant Professor in a new IIM Your experience  The quality of your papers The chances are rare because most of the new IIMs have professors who have done Ph.D. from older IIMs like IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, and IIM Calcutta.

Ques. How good is the placement scenario at iim kozhikode for fpm programme?

● Top Answer By Milind Padalkar on 14 Nov 22

Ans. The FPM or Fellow Program in Management at IIM Kozhikode does have its own placement program. This is because the batch size is very small.  But the FPM program in itself is such a meticulous one that all its students become scholars or researchers. The recent data confirms that most of its fellows have been placed in the top IIMs or other reputed Management Schools ranked high on NIRF. The only thing you need to be careful about is not delaying your thesis work and having good publications. If not you might face problems at the time of placements. The FPM degree has been renamed as the PhD and IIM Kozhikode provides excellent placements for the same.Read more

Ques. I've got two options, TAPMI PGDM and IRMA PRM. What should I choose?

● Top Answer By Alka Singh on 09 Mar 23

Ans. When deciding on an MBA program, it's important to consider your interests and career goals. If you have an inclination towards rural management, then IRMA would be an excellent choice for you. On the other hand, if you're looking for a general MBA degree and specific profiles post-MBA, then TAPMI may be the better option. If rural management is your area of interest, then IRMA should be at the top of your list. IRMA has a strong reputation for its rural management program and provides excellent opportunities for students interested in the field. On the other hand, if you're looking for a broader MBA degree and want to explore different profiles, then TAPMI may be a better fit. When it comes to post-MBA profiles, TAPMI provides a variety of specializations to choose from, including finance, marketing, human resources, and operations. This means that you can choose a specialization that aligns with your interests and career goals. Additionally, TAPMI has a strong reputation in the industry and attracts many top recruiters, which can enhance your job opportunities post-MBA. Ultimately, the decision between IRMA and TAPMI will depend on your individual interests and career aspirations. Make sure to research each program thoroughly and weigh the pros and cons of each before making a final decision.Read more

Ques. How is the FPM in Finance at IIM Indore, Lucknow, Kozhikode?

● Top Answer By Sumit on 03 Jan 23

Ans. 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. Read more

Ques. How tough is IIM B test for getting into fellowship program at IIM Bangalore?

● Top Answer By Siddant Mittal on 15 May 23

Ans. Unlike CAT, RAT (Research Aptitude Test) is not a unified exam. Evert IIM conducts its own admission process for FPM and thus the pattern of RAT varies from IIM to IIM. One of the patterns is termed as minor RAT followed at IIMB and at a few other IIMs. The RAT consists of different types of CAT questions including questions on verbal skills, logical reasoning, quantitative etc. However, the quantity of questions is less and the questions are distributed differently. Questions are designed to determine minimum eligibility requirements and are not meant for elimination thus the overall test is not too difficult . It's important to note that the RAT pattern for each of the IIMs changes every year. Though some preparation definitely needs to be made for these exams, I would not suggest giving more time to prepare for interviews than the written exam.Read more
