Anyone here who applied for Innovations and Management in Education at IIMA this year?
@IIMAscholar @IIM.Ahmedabad How many applications does IIMA receive on average for IME branch? Are there other IIMs/IITs with specialization of similar domain?
Guys, how true is it that few research areas r restricted in scope. For example HR as most research areas have already been covered.R esearch, if any r secondary in nature. Can someone please throw light on this. If someone is doing research in operations, can u please tell the scope of research/ job prospects in future.
Will it be a wise decision to leave a 60k/month, dying govt job for FPM/PhD in Management at any of the TOP 25 B schools in India? If yes what should be the subject choice?
Dear Friends,
I'm considering an FPM/PhD program and had a few queries. These are newbie questions, and I haven't found a relevant thread. Bear with me if some of these seem very basic doubts:
1. How does one choose between taking GRE/GMAT/CAT exams if any of these scores are acceptable?
2. How important is it to zero in on a research area before applying? I have some thoughts on strategic management, competitiveness in the digital age and intellectual property - is a preliminary expression of interest sufficient?
3. I'm a family man with a 2 dependents (wife & son) - how feasible is it to sustain on the FPM/PhD stipend alone? I'm not bothered about the loss of salary, I'm just bothered about satisfying basic household needs. (6yrs post-MBA work-ex, single income family)
4. And lastly, how hard is it to get back into and manage the academic rigour, once you've been in the industry for six years? I've been a good student throughout and my work-ex is relevant.
Looking forward to your thoughts.

Hi,
I have been selected for EFPM 2017 @iiml Noida Campus in Sustainability Mgmt Area (Had applied to IS area also, but was not selected there). The program is targetted at working professionals. From this year, the 1st year of EFPM has been clubbed with their WMP program (Executive PGDM of IIML Noida Campus) with classes every alternate Fri-Sat-Sun at their Noida Campus.
My profile is as follows:
B.Tech(CSE) + PGDM(PT) from LIBA
18 yrs work ex with IOCL in IS field and currently based out of Chennai and looking after Training and Development fuctions.
IIML has a Sustainabaility Mgmt PGDM full time program at their noida campus. I have liking for the topics covererd by this area whcih is mainly inter disciplinary in nature. My current work is not directly related to this area.
Had a talk with an IIML faculty reg the program in general and other aspects such as value of EFPM vi-a-vis FPM, Programme naming once IIM bill becomes an act, how EFPM is viewed for academic postions by IIMs/Other B-Schools as against Full time FPM / Phd from IITs etc.
He was of the opnion that EFPM is as rigorous as FPM in terms of content/commitment requirements. Also, has a bright chance of getting the Phd tag once IIM act comes in. Still, he was of the opinion that, because of family, full time job and other commitments, many in EFPM could not complete the program and keep dragging on OR even drop out mid way. Considetring that I was far away from institute transporation is another issue. To this he was suggesting joining a part time Phd at nearby DOMS at IIT Madras / IISc Bengaluru. IITs / IISc have 3 year part time Phd programs mainly targetted at Lecturers / Scientific Community looking for Promotions which has a 6 month residency requirement. Also, being technical institutes, they are pretty strong in IS/OM areas.
My long term plan (3-4 yrs down the line) is to shift to academics in a leading b-school like IIMs. I was thinking that an EFPM (Chance of being called a Phd in near future) from an establised IIM like lucknow would brighten the chances of my plan to switch to academics (I do admit that the quality of publications and research does matter).
I am in dilemma whether to accept the IIML EFPM offer now OR to wait for 6 months and apply to DOMS at IITM / IISc for Phd (Part Time) in their next intake. IITM talks about opportunities for joint Phds with some universities abroad (it is for full times only, i suppose). Full time Phd / FPM is ruled out bacause of family commitments .
Kind advise from seniors solicited.

Can someone advise how to prepare for the same and what percentile is required in CAT for getting calls for FPM in IIMs. Also, can anybody share what type of questions were asked in RAT for Operation management & data science by IIM B?
Whats your Indian strategy of publishing in journals? I mean the desi component of the strategy? I for one feel handicapped because I have no intra day tick by tick data. OF course everything i write has a unique contribution in it or I won't send it to a journal.
