At present there is a pressing shortage of quality faculty in Management. This requirement
of the Management schools will be addressed by the M. Phil. Programme. The world
of Management is of a fast-changing dynamic nature. Constant study and research
in M. Phil. Programme will meet this requirement of pressing forward the frontiers
of knowledge and dissemination of updated information in different areas of Management
research. It will contribute to the growing body of knowledge in Management, particularly
in the Indian context. The Programme has been designed to provide an interdisciplinary
approach to research. Water-tight compartments between different disciplines will
be broken down through this Programme. This will lead to cross-fertilization of
ideas which will enrich Management research and teaching. The Programme will provide
government, industry and management institutes with individuals equipped with a
high level of research capability and experience. Graduates of the M. Phil. program
will have a thorough understanding of the principles of business theory and its
applications in various fields, along with the ability to think systematically about,
and apply quantitative methods to, business problems. They will have acquired the
knowledge and skills necessary to begin working independently on their Ph.D. dissertations.

for admission to the Ph.D degree. Moreover, a candidate may not pursue both M. Phil
and Ph.D courses simultaneously.
