In this programme, the executives can work towards a doctoral degree while remaining in their jobs. Prof Debashis Chatterjee, Director of IIM Kozhikode, said. "This is the first time in India that we are defining a PhD in the form of a Practice Track. It is an idea whose time has come.
While you are in the job you can bring real life problems to your doctoral research for investigation and discover the solutions with the kind of clarity that only a deeply embedded knowledge system can bring," an IIM-K press release quoted him as having said.

Prof Kausik Gangopadhyay, Chair of the doctoral programmes, said the programme allows research specialization in not just conventional management areas such as economics, finance or strategy but also interdisciplinary or sectoral specializations such as in banking, manufacturing, sports or tourism as per the participant's choice of research area.
The last date for online submission of applications on the Institute's website is June 5 this year, the release said.
