I am a working professional, working in state civil services, kindly guide whether it's possible to pursue part time PhD?

[@pragati_econ]

The IIM PhD program is a full-time program with no part-time option available. In the past, some civil servants have pursued their PhD studies within this program. If you are considering such a pursuit, it may be beneficial for you to engage in discussions with these individuals to gather insights and information regarding study leave rules that may apply to your situation.

[@Stayfab_with_suman]

Hello ma'am can u pls tell me.....when a student qualified in ugc net jrf.. then what are the procedures for admission in IIM Bangalore

[@pragati_econ]

You are eligible to apply in that case, without a CAT/GRE score. Depends on which subject you cleared your NET in and which area you are applying for. NET JRF doesn't exempt you from the written exam or interview at IIMB.
