Should you pick the FPM at IMT Ghaziabad?

This course suits people who want a research and teaching career and can study full-time on campus for four years.

Pick it if:

You want to be paid while you study: every full-time scholar gets INR 54,000 a month and a room on campus, so the fee is not the real cost.

You are moving from a job to research: IMT takes a CAT, GMAT, GRE, UGC-NET or JRF score up to five years old, so an old score still works.

You are counting the money: the stipend adds up to INR 25.92 Lakhs over 48 months, next to a course fee of INR 2.45 Lakhs.

You want to teach in a business school: the four-year course is treated as equal to a PhD by the Association of Indian Universities.

Skip it if:

You want a big research batch: IMT keeps 10 seats a year and they cover all eight research areas together.

You cannot leave your job: this FPM is full-time and residential, so you cannot do it from home in the evenings.

You turn 46 before the cut: IMT does not take an applicant over 45 years on 31 Mar 2026, so check your date first.

You will apply only after your Master's result: you can join first, but the degree certificate must reach IMT by 30 Sep 2026 or you lose the seat.

Counsellor's advice

If you want a research career and can live on campus full-time, apply in the first round, because the panel meets soon after each last date. Check your Class 10, Class 12 and bachelor's marks before you pay the application fee, as 60% in each is a hard gate.

FPM Eligibility▾

Master's degree: 60% or more in any subject. A five-year integrated Master's counts too.

School and college marks: 60% in Class 10, Class 12 and your bachelor's degree.

Professional route: CA, CMA or CS at 50% marks with a 60% bachelor's degree.

Test score: A valid CAT (the IIM entrance test), GMAT, GRE, UGC-NET (the national eligibility test) or JRF (junior research fellowship) score, taken on or after 1 Jun 2021.

Age: Not over 45 years on 31 Mar 2026. There is no work experience rule.

FPM Admission Process▾

Apply online: Fill the FPM form on the IMT site in one of the two rounds.

Document check: IMT checks your degrees, marks and test score before it calls you.

Research aptitude test: You sit a written test on research thinking on the interview day.

Interviews: The FPM Selection Committee meets you first, then the FPM Committee.

Final round and joining: The last interview is offline on campus. Then you accept the offer, pay and join full-time.

Will you get an FPM seat at IMT Ghaziabad?

Pick your Master's marks and your test score. The answer follows the rules IMT publishes for the FPM.

Master's marks

60% or moreBelow 60%

Test score

CAT, GMAT or GREUGC-NET or JRFNo score yet

60% or more · CAT, GMAT or GRE

Yes, you can apply. Your marks and your score clear both gates, so the panel will read your research plan next.

60% or more · UGC-NET or JRF

Yes, you can apply. A UGC-NET pass or a JRF counts in place of CAT, GMAT or GRE.

60% or more · no score yet

Almost there. Your marks clear the gate, but IMT needs a valid score, so sit CAT, GMAT, GRE or UGC-NET first.

Below 60% · CAT, GMAT or GRE

Not this year. IMT asks 60% in your Master's degree, and a good test score does not cover a shortfall.

Below 60% · UGC-NET or JRF

Not this year. A UGC-NET pass does not replace the 60% mark rule in your Master's degree.

Below 60% · no score yet

Not this year. You need 60% in your Master's degree and a valid test score before you apply.

EDITOR'S NOTE

IMT publishes no score cutoff for the FPM. The panel weighs your research plan with your score, so a clear, narrow research question can carry a middling score.

In short

IMI Delhi pays INR 11,000 more a month, but its fee is higher and it sits below IMT Ghaziabad in the ranking. If the stipend decides your year, apply to both.

In short

XLRI does not publish an FPM fee and pays less each month, but it ranks far higher. If a research name on your degree matters most, apply to XLRI as well as IMT Ghaziabad.

In short

FORE School of Management charges INR 1.42 Lakhs less and takes the same 10 seats, but it publishes no stipend. If being paid every month matters, take IMT Ghaziabad.
