The verdict
Worth considering
This is a niche, research-first programme for those set on academia or policy. The 80% placement track into academic and think-tank roles is promising, but the low confidence score on public data and missing UGC recognition mean you should do your homework — speak to current FPM scholars, verify faculty research fit, and compare with UGC-recognized PhD/FPM alternatives before locking in.
