Part-time
Executive Fellow Programme in
Management (Exec-FPM)
For Working Executives
The
Programme
The part-time Executive FPM
provides executives with an opportunity to earn a "Fellow in Management" from
XLRI Jamshedpur without interrupting their career.
The part-time Executive Fellow
Programme in Management (Exec-FPM) is equivalent to a Ph.D. programme. It has
been designed to cater to the scholarly needs of working business executives who
already have an MBA. The objective of the part-time Executive FPM is to develop
prospective scholars for careers not only in management research and teaching
but also in management practice, consulting, training, and development.
Eligibility
& Admission Process
Applicants for the part-time
Exec-FPM: -
-
Should have a full-time MBA
degree from a recognized university, or its duly recognized equivalent (a
two-year full-time Post Graduate Diploma from IIMs, XLRI, etc. is recognized
as equivalent to MBA by AICTE and is eligible);
-
Should be currently employed
in a full-time job; and
-
Must have at least three
years of full-time managerial experience as on 1 October 2005 (the
experience must be as a manager, officer, executive, or supervisor in an
organization, or as a faculty member in an academic institution, and may be
before or after acquiring the MBA or both).
Interested candidates are
required to download the application form and follow the instructions. The
last date for application is October 31, 2005.
Short listed candidates will be required to appear for a personal interview
during November 2005 at XLRI, Jamshedpur for the final selection. The programme
will commence in February 2006.
Course
Structure
The Exec-FPM would follow two
stages. In the first stage, the selected candidate needs to meet the course
requirements. This would be fulfilled through 4 campus visits of 20 days'
duration each, spread over a period of 13 months.
On successful completion of the
course requirement, the student has to qualify in two comprehensive examinations
(one in the area of specialization and the other in interrelated areas) before
taking up the thesis work.
The second stage (thesis) will
start after that. The student will select a thesis topic from among the areas -
Economics, Finance, Information Systems, Marketing, Operations Management,
Organizational Behaviour, Personnel Management & Industrial Relations / Human
Resource Management, and Strategic Management. The student is expected to
identify a thesis topic in consultation with a thesis adviser, and work under
the supervision of a Thesis Advisory Committee (TAC). On successful completion
of all the requirements of the Exec-FPM, a student will be awarded the title
'Fellow in Management'.
Besides the 4 campus visits of 20 days' duration each that are needed to finish
the course work, 3 additional campus visits will normally be needed to finish
comprehensive examinations, defend the thesis proposal, and defend the final
thesis. The total duration of the programme will ordinarily be four years and a
maximum of five years. Two extensions, of six months each beyond the aforesaid
maximum period of five years may be considered in exceptional cases.
Fee
The total fees for the entire
programme will be Rs.90,000/- payable in two installments (Rs.50,000/- while
accepting the admission offer, and Rs.40,000/- after six months); this does not
include board and lodge during campus visits.
