The candidate will be paid a stipend of Rs 25000/ per month along with stay and food facility for first three years of course. The candidate is required to attend lectures and seminars, present papers in conferences and publish in leading journals and also provide academic inputs to JGBS students. The program allows you, subject to academic approval to construct a course relevant to your specific area of interests.
Classes for part time PhD program will be held in Delhi/NCR area. The scholars will be communicated about the venue and timing of classes once the admission process is over. Normally classes will be held on Saturdays/ Sundays/ Holidays. There will be extensive use of technology platform to interact with scholars. The sessions will be recorded and made available to participants for their reference. The part time students will undergo the same course structure like a full time student as per UGC requirements. The program is designed to help working professionals to undertake a PhD program without disturbing their current work engagements.
The PhD program consists of two phases. The first phase of the program involves core and doctoral course work, followed by a Viva and a Research Proposal Presentation. The second phase requires the PhD scholars to work on their thesis and finally defend the same. The thesis is expected to make significant contribution to the discipline of management or an allied area of management.
The course work aims at providing inputs in various areas of management to enable the scholar apply them in his research. Eight core courses across different management disciplines have to a completed during the first phase. These courses will provide basic knowledge and skills that the PhD scholars must be familiar with while conducting research in emerging issues of management. These will include the use of latest methodologies and other research tools. The coursework and the research work is interspersed with two semester breaks during which the scholars are expected to work on their areas of interest. The scholars are encouraged to do a research paper/project with an area faculty during the summer and winter semester breaks.
On successful completion of the core courses, the scholars will have to appear for comprehensive exams based on these courses. On passing the exam, they will be allowed to do the doctoral level courses, spanning a semester. The scholars are required to do four such area specific doctoral courses. Out of these four, at least three have to be from the scholar’s area of specialization and the fourth course may be a doctoral course from any other area or a seminar course. These courses will provide the required subject knowledge in the area of specialization and also provide exposure to contemporary issues worth investigating. During the second phase of the coursework, the scholars are allowed to undertake a seminar course in consultation with an area faculty in the field of research interest. This will be a course of 1.5 credits. The scholar needs to identify a topic of interest which may potentially lead to a thesis problem. The outcome of this course should be a research paper/working paper of JGBS and can be taken for publication in an appropriate journal. The scholar and guide will be co-authors of the paper for the journal.
