The Institute's first Annual Report on a full year (1962-63) articulated IIMA's hope that a doctoral programme would be initiated. In 1968-69 the Institute approached the M.S. University, Baroda and the Gujarat University to allow IIMA faculty members to guide doctoral candidates enrolled at these universities. In the meanwhile, the Institute was making every effort to establish its own doctoral programme. At the 80th faculty meeting (February 10, 1971) the Director announced that a committee set up to examine the feasibility of launching a doctoral programme (headed by Dr. C. Rangarajan) had recommended a Fellow Programme in Management (FPM) that would be equivalent to a PhD programme. At that time, there was some talk of the IIMs at Ahmedabad and Kolkata (Calcutta) gaining degree-granting status, but it was not clear when this would happen. The faculty members at IIMA decided to go ahead with an Advanced Programme in Business Administration that would lead to the title of Fellow of the Indian Institute of Management (equivalent to a PhD degree). The advertisement for the programme was released on March 1, 1971. Article by Team Archives |
