When do the IIMs start taking applications for FPM ? Do you need to have the area of specialisation and research proposal and SOP ready right at the time of applying ? Moreover - do you get a call for interview on the basis of cat score itself ? If i have a good cat score , can I be assured of a call for interview ?
Some guidelines for UGC - NET ? I read someone post that for IIMB , instead of RAT , we can go for a JRF in management ? So the following are my queries - :
1. What is the syllabus for RAT ? IS it a simple aptitude test.
2. Do IIM bangalore themselves conduct this test ? When can we take RAT ? How to apply ?
3. Regarding NET - when can one take NET. How does NET help in getting into FPM from IIMs. Is there different weightage if I apply via CAT or via NET ?
4. As soon as I clear NET , am I considered a JRF in management ?
thanks.. In 12 years i have mix work ex as a production engg and service delivery manager.regarding placement if u refer IIMA site they r mentioning FPM people can sit for campus and got selected..
dear Puys and Pgals. I am noticing that a lot of people are asking about RAT. Let me clarify some things. The RAT is like the CAT. Everyone has to take the RAT no matter what other scores you have submitted. RAT is usually followed by area specific tests. That said not all areas conduct such an area specific test. The tests are followed by interviews.
Life at IIM-B for an FPM is different you will not have the same courses as PGP you have to do doctoral level classes for 2 years. Details are present on the site for those who are interested. 😁
hi everyone...i am preparing for the FPM prog and my profile is as below...
X-72%,
XII- 83
Bcom-63%
MBA-(Finance)-62%, UGC - Net Cleared(Management)
Total work exp-6 years ( 3 years banking, 3years academic) . I have two queries...
1. I have done my MBA in Finance and i want to pursue FPM in HR/OB/ so would it be an issue for getting admissions in iims if i am opting for a field other than my area of specialization.
2. What are the sectional and overall percentile cutoffs with regards to CAT/RAT for getting admissions into IIMs esp IIM A/B as there websites are not providing the clear info.
Regards
Is thr nc obc quota for FPM at IIM A??
Wht percentile will be required for it??
IIM - B notification is here -
This time RAT and interview tentatively scheduled to be in February . The forms will roll on from Sept 1 .
I query has come in mind, for NITs & AICTE approved colleges , basic requirement for management faculty for assistant professor post is MBA.Now if one does not have MBA degree but have FPM degree will be eligible for assistant prof post ?
IIM-A FPM advertisement is out..please find see the attached file below, last date for application Jan 30,2014.
Spent the last two days reading previous year FPM threads... very informative. Especially 2008 and 2010.
I havent read much about the Doctoral programme of FMS in PG. Even on their website , there aint a good deal of information available. The streams mentioned doesnt sound similar to conventional FPM programmes in IIMs. Is the doctoral program of FMS not good ? I heard the degree comes under Delhi University. No information about the stipends or duration of the course as well.
Minimum of 2 to 5 years work ex for doctoral program in FMS/MDI/IIFT/NITIE/IISC😞 😞 Seniors out there please help me out. I completed my B.Tech from NIT Jamshedpur this year. 10th - 89 , 12th - 76, engg. 8.1.... Hardly any academic achievements , no paper published , no idea about research. Have been just an average student in college. Always struggled to mention stuffs in my CV. I am woking with Godrej consumer products now. I want to become a teacher. No specific area of interest. Though we had many subjects of industrial engineering in our engineering and I liked those. I was looking forward to FPM programmes in supply chain or operations management etc, but most of the institutes are asking for work ex. So I guess I am left with IIM A,B,C,L,I,K..... I do want to become a teacher and I will definitely take the extensive coursework , I just cant go back to prepare for GATE n all to get into M.Tech from IITs to start teaching.
Kindly weigh my profile and chances of admission into IIMs.
I scored 92 in CAT last year. What would you suggest , should I focus in the coming two months to improve my CAT score first or in the next 6 months , before the application gets evaluated , I should work on area of interests , go through some text books n all. ?For those who need to interact more on PhD/FPM, join

Hi.. I am planning to pursue FPM from IIM next year. I have one doubt.. Is research proposal required for clearing FPM interviews?
@sau100 "Just one more thing. Area of interest being Economics & Business Environment, what should i read /analyse in the meantime to get more understanding of the same. I mean to get prepared for the post-cat process." I am not sure which area you want to get into there is economics and social sciences if that your area of interest I would suggest getting in touch with someone from ESS Kartik is a member on PG ping him
-I am interested to do FPM course from IIM.My specialization would be in BS.Would like to know how to prepare myself for the interview process and what type of questions should I expect from the panel.Also which research papers should I go through which could be beneficial for me in the long run.Would appreciate your guidance on the same.
i have heard that iims do take people with UGC-jrf..generally jrfs are given stipend of 21k by HRD and even iims pay some stipend to the fellows..after joining in iim is it possible to avail both the stipends.?
hi puys,
had a query. anyone who has taken the gmat to apply for the FPM program pls help!
i am planning to take the GMAT in October.

Why do you want to do an FPM? Is PGP more lucrative to you?
