Built for Research Careers
The FPM is a full-time doctoral programme centred on original research, advanced methodology, international collaborations, and peer-reviewed publications — ideal if you're targeting academia, policy, or high-level consulting rather than a quick corporate placement.
The verdict
Good fit
IMI New Delhi's FPM is a rigorous, research-heavy doctoral track with a tiny cohort and affordable fee structure. It's a strong choice if you want to teach, publish, or shape policy. Skip it if you expect a short master's with guaranteed high corporate CTC and mass recruitment.
