justify;\">The IFMR GSB\u2019s PhD Programme, now under the aegis of the Krea Doctoral College, has focused on cutting-edge research in finance and management since the inception of the programme in 1982 as part of the then IFMR (Institute for Financial Management and Research). The diversity within Krea University and the interdisciplinary approach to research have further enhanced the quality of the doctoral curriculum at IFMR GSB. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The doctoral coursework has two phases. The first phase comprises the first two years, during which the doctoral scholars undergo selected graduate-level (MBA level) and doctoral-level courses which lay the foundation of research by exposing them to various functional areas (Data Science &#038; Information Systems, Economics, Finance, Accounting, &#038; Quantitative Finance, Marketing, Operations, Organisation Behaviour, and Strategy) within management. The coursework helps PhD scholars gain an in-depth understanding of management research from both theoretical and applied perspectives, thus preparing them to become successful management educators. In addition to various courses, an integral part of the coursework is the Independent Research Study, which prepares the PhD scholars to embark on writing their doctoral dissertation by instilling in them the required research skills. At the end of the first phase, PhD scholars need to qualify in comprehensive oral and written examinations. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second phase begins from the third year when the PhD scholars start working on their research topic under the guidance of faculty members. During this phase, PhD scholars make presentations periodically to update the progress made in doctoral research. Finally, the doctoral degree is awarded after the submission of the thesis, its subsequent evaluation by external subject experts, and a successful public viva-voce. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Krea University provides generous financial aid to PhD scholars and strongly encourages them to participate in reputed peer-reviewed conferences, colloquiums, and workshops both in India and abroad. The library at Krea University has a rich collection of books, journals, and periodicals and subscribes to several databases required for empirical research.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It gives me immense pleasure to inform you that our PhD graduates have joined reputed academic institutions and research organisations in the past.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are keen to embark on an enriching journey of doing doctoral research, please reach out to us.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Institute for Financial Management and Research (IFMR) was established in 1970 and has an impressive and long record of contributing to the expansion and enrichment of the knowledge base in the financial services industry. In 1982, IFMR became an approved research institution to conduct research leading to award of PhD by the University of Madras. Initially, the PhD degree was in the area of Finance and then since 2014 in the area of Management.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2018, IFMR was re-christened as IFMR Graduate School of Business (IFMR GSB) and integrated within the newly formed Krea University under the IFMR Society. IFMR GSB offers MBA and PhD programmes under Krea University from 2018. Krea Doctoral College will now oversee the PhD programmes of the university, in both schools &#8211; IFMR GSB and SIAS. IFMR GSB strives to provide a stimulating research environment to its research students, supported by faculty with exceptional research credentials. IFMR GSB endeavours to be an institution that contributes in the space of higher education by training students who then go on to become thought leaders and teachers themselves.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The alumni of the PhD programme have assumed positions as faculty in prestigious academic institutions such as Ashoka University, Great Lakes Institute of Management, the Loyola Institute of Business Administration, Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Indore, IIM Kashipur, IIM Shillong, IIM Amritsar, IRMA, Madras School of Economics, Mahindra University, and Rajagiri Business School. Other alumni are in significant roles in research institutes, think- tanks and corporates such as Centre for Excellence in Fiscal Policy and Taxation, CRISIL, Deloitte, ICICI, Institute for Human Development, and SCOPE international.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">IFMR GSB\u2019s in-house journal, \u201cJournal of Emerging Market Finance\u201d reinforces IFMR GSB\u2019s research credentials. With the support and guidance of faculty, PhD students publish extensively in peer-reviewed journals and present their research in various national and international conferences. The annual research symposium at IFMR GSB provides an excellent platform for students to showcase their work and interact with researchers from the Krea ecosystem and other national and international institutions.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">IFMR GSB offers a research programme leading to the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). The PhD programme combines rigorous coursework and a flexible curriculum with in-depth research requirements while staying true to the Krea vision of interwoven learning, ethical values, critical thinking and interdisciplinary education.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 900;\"><strong>The University now offers the PhD programme to full-time and part-time students <\/strong><\/p><p>Full-time students receive tuition waiver and stipend for four years. Extension up to one year may be granted, following review by the Dissertation Committee. Part-time PhD students are required to do coursework which is a blend of in-person and hybrid lectures and return to campus for end-of-year 1 examination and comprehensive examination, and proposal, synopsis, and thesis defense. Both part-time and full-time students are awarded a PhD in Management.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
