testimonials
I am freshman, recently exposed to the Fellow Program in Management in the Institute of Management Technology. My domain of interest is Operations Management. In my very short tenure, my experience was astounding. The structure in IMT is highly organized in research, academic and all the other forms. The rigour on research is quite high and there is an abundance of resources. The course structure for this course is quite comprehensive and it is delivered by a group of highly experienced faculties, who not help us in academia but also help us in figuring out other aspects of life. A blend of discipline based courses along with general management courses provides with an overview of this entire subject as well as strongholds our area of interest. The main attraction is the literature-rich library with all sorts of journals, books and magazines. Direct access to statistical databases has also been provided for additional benefits. The hostel and mess facilities are at par. To sum it up, I have embarked into an interesting journey so far.
The FPM Program at IMT prepares research scholars for the journey right from the first moment. The two-year of rigorous coursework gives a complete grasp of research as well as the necessary assistance for developing required abilities in a chosen area of specialty. The faculty support is the finest thing I have here since they are always willing to help and advise me with any of my ideas or work. In addition, the institute has supplied all the enhanced facilities as well as access to a rich collection of journals and research databases.
