IIM’s Doctoral Programme (FPM) has become the cradle of World class faculty for higher education in India
It was in the early nineties that India Inc. woke up to the “business of B-Schools”. A liberalizing economy needed managers to manage the organisations that were mushrooming all over the country. Everyone was thinking ‘managers’… very few were thinking ‘management teachers’. The result today is for all to see. According to the latest HRD report (in Lok Sabha), there are 3,644 business schools in the country offering MBA and 308 institutions offering PGDM; this after the spate of ‘B-school shutdown’ in the last decade. Had it not been for the IIM’s doctoral Fellow Programme in Management (FPM), matters would’ve gone well beyond control.
