1022
@cacs The least that doing PhD teaches you is writing detailed answers 😛
1023
@buffer he he he....you are being life saver for so many students here. Would love to meet u at campus on 21st
1024
@cacs I had noticed that post long back. You may have noticed that that is the only post by the user in PG. Most probably a disgruntled FPM student or someone who was denied an admit. Most probably the latter because the user doesn't know that IIMs have no relation with UGC or its grants!

1026
@buffer Can you please tell me what are the research areas in IT and systems . I would love to be working in research project which has some technical and practical ground instead of just theoretical .
What kind of internships do students get to do during thesis work ?
Also do people who complete their fellowship from IIMs get absorbed in IIMs easily or do IIMs prefer faculties from foreign universities or IISC and IITs .(top notch inidian universities)
1027
@buffer You had given wonderful insight to you...I am mesmerized by your replies...How many seats total FPM is? As they had called 163 people..from all specialisation....so do they have a fix quota for Total FPM seats...and per specialization how many seats???? Thanks
1028
@Muneza ...there is no quota as such -- if ur potential is appreciated, u wud b absorbed (come wat may!!) ...ATB :)
1029
@rudrani ...in MIS, even ppl from the IITs, ISI & IISc are preferred
1030
@rudrani ..the written test @ IIM-K isn't administered always, or for all areas.
1031
@AAOne ohk...means their would be only PI...at IIM k...

I have some reservations about how much the concerned professor in pH.d can exploit you as a resource. I have heard from some people that sometimes ph.d guides ask you to do their personal work and treat you like a servant, because he/she basically holds the command of whether your ph.d gets complete or not - he can simply say I am not happy with his performance and that is the end of it. is it true?

1033
@meera26 this is not totally wrong. In fact, it happens most often. "Jiski lathi ussi ki bhains"
1034

Hi! MDI FPM ka kya status hey?? Anybody applied there?

1035
@mmgg Do you know about the thesis completion rate, esp at IIMC? And also how often does it stretch beyond 4 years time?
1036

@meera26 In any case the phd cannot go beyond 5 years. Normally 4-4.5 years. Moreover, the IIM C scholar @buffer enlighten us better on this query.
1037

Anybody interested in the area of behavioral sciences over here?

1038
@mmgg I mean does it ever happen that some people NEVER are able to complete the ph.d? 😛 Just wondering!
1039
@meera26 ...am not aware of such things happening in the IIMs atleast!!

@mmgg ...fellows in the past have recd. their degrees as late as after 8-10 years; however, the trend has changed now!!
1040
@meera26 ...i would sincerely urge u to stop thinking of all the negatives!! Cheers :)
