Indian Institute of Management- Lucknow (IIM-L)

Yes. EFPM is a part time non - residential programme. Classes during the first year are held with WMP students in alternate weeks. During the second year, three campus visits of 21 days duration each are needed to finish the course work. Thus, for “exempted” candidates (e.g., those who are qualified to join the programme directly in the second year), only three visits of 21 days is needed to finish course work. During third and fourth year, a few campus visits for a few days may be needed to complete other formalities (e.g., to take comprehensive examination, thesis proposal presentation, thesis defence etc). There is, however, an implicit understanding that the student will be in constant touch with his/her supervisor through skype, mails and other mediums.

Students interested in pursuing research careers and having high scholastic aptitude should apply. Typically students may have varied backgrounds. For information please refer our web announcement of Executive FPM ( http://www.iiml.ac.in/efpm_announcement.pdf) eligibility criteria

The Exec-FPM students will continue to work with their organizations while pursuing the programme.

Classes may be held in either Lucknow or Noida campus at the discretion of the authorities.
