Takers for doctoral faculty development programmes up slightly at IIMs

IIM Lucknow sees applications rise from 250 to 300 in the past three years

Fellow programme in management (FPM) and faculty development programme (FDP), two sources of inducting trained faculty for the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) have seen marginal rise in applications in the past 3-5 years.  

While IIM Lucknow has seen applications rise from 250 to 300 in the past three years, IIM Kozhikode has seen the same fall from 272 in 2013 to 134 this year. "The number of candidates enrolling for FPM varies from year to year. The past trend shows that there has been a marginal increase in the enrollment year by year," an IIM-K spokesperson stated.
