Hi.. I am interested in FPM-Public Policy and Management. Most of the students in this particular course have done graduation or post graduation in Humanities or Social Sciences. I have done B.Tech. from NIT Jaipur and currently working. All my research projects and internships are in Materials and Metallurgy. So, is it possible for me having an engineering background to get admission in this discipline? I am taking GRE in Sept this year. Thanks.

Hi. While applying for CAT one can choose the programs for which we wish to apply.

Does that mean that score and application be sent directly to those institutes? 

If yes but suppose one does not get good CAT score but a good GMAT score, can one reapply with GMAT score again in December to the same IIMs for same program? Will it be accepted?

Please help.

Thanks.

Hi there...Nice to find this discussion thread

I am aiming for FPM programs or PhD from abroad in 2015 and have been looking for some help regarding preparation and targeting institutes

Following is my brief Profile:

B.E. (Instrumentation) 2006: 77.1%, MBA (Marketing and Operations) 2009: CGPA 6.91, 3 years of Work Ex in IT Sales in Redington India and Wipro, UGC-NET-June 2012, MPhil (Management) 2014, Faculty Development Program FDP from IIMI 2014

Currently I am working at IIMA as an Academic Associate in Marketing area. I have started preparing for GMAT and getting scores of around 650 in mock tests. I have also been working on some research papers. I am planning to write GMAT in Oct this year

I have few specific questions:

How do I shortlist Universities abroad? My research interests are CSR and Sustainability. I have recently start looking at the Universities abroad and the information is overwhelming. How should I find out and target the options based on my profile and chances of getting through

I want a decent stipend also and would have to support my spouse too. How much chance do I stand to get this for whole 4-5 years?

I am not sure whether I am ready to for a FPM like rigorous 2 years course work. I have heard that in Europe the coursework duration is less compared to US. So should I focus on colleges in Europe given that I have basic understanding of RM and my doctoral topic.

I think this is enough...the query list is too long and I'll keep searching but thanks in advance to anyone who cares to reply to this longish post..

Cheers...GA

Hi All

I need help with either the info or links which can provide the following information regarding full time PHD programs:

1. Good Institutes in Asia that one should target and the average score for admit

2. Good Institutes in UK that one should target and the average score for admit

It would help me prepare a list of colleges for applying as per my eligibility.

Thanks in advance!
