researcher, and the academician. The program equips students for careers in teaching and research, as staff-level specialists in functional areas in corporate, government, non-government and international organisations, and as consultants. The programme has the first two years in common with the Post Graduate Programme. Beyond the second year, FPM students work on advanced courses and for their doctoral thesis.

Current Details:
Currently there are 52 students in the programme at various stages. To facilitate practical experience in teaching/training, senior Fellow students are being permitted to assist the faculty on a part-time basis. They are also being allowed to spend their summer, assisting the faculty in designated research projects in areas related to their dissertation research. Both FPM students and the faculty have found this very useful. As FPM students generally have work experience before joining this programme, the norms for summer placement at the end of the first year have been modified to suit their specific requirements.
