Bangalore, 15th, May 2023: Twelve students – eight women and four men, from different parts of India, were welcomed to the sixth batch of the NS Ramaswamy Pre–doctoral Fellowship programme at IIM Bangalore, this afternoon. As part of the one-year certificate programme, they will be mentored by internationally-acclaimed faculty members at the institute. They will get the opportunity to engage with both current and former PhD scholars, and receive expert guidance in writing research proposals. They will experience student life at the IIMB campus.

The twelve NSR Pre-doc fellows will pursue their studies in areas such as Decision Sciences, Entrepreneurship, Information Systems, Public Policy, Production & Operations Management, OB&HRM, Economics, Strategy, and Marketing.

The students said they were excited about receiving academic training that would help them enrol for a PhD programme in their fields of interest that range from Media & Communication to Entrepreneurship.

The N.S. Ramaswamy Pre–doctoral Fellowship (NSR Pre-doc), launched in 2018 by IIM Bangalore, is a one-of-its-kind programme which helps participants prepare for a doctoral degree.

The programme is specially designed around the needs of doctoral-level students and helps them navigate the process of applying for a doctoral degree. Once they have successfully completed the programme at IIMB, they are equipped to take tests and interviews in universities where their research areas match.

This is an important year in your lives as it will help you improve your credentials in applying to a doctoral programme. Use your time wisely and well. Go beyond the structured activities and leverage the larger facilities, especially the excellent library, great databases and the sports facilities here. Work closely with your mentors, build your network here with PhD students, attend seminars by different areas and collaborate on projects,” he said, wishing the students a productive year at IIM Bangalore.

Describing the NSR Pre-doc Fellowship as “unique”, Professor Rahul De, Dean Programmes, urged the students to work with their mentors, choose their courses carefully, and develop a strong focus as the rigor of the programme is high.

Prof. Bandi, Dean Administration and faculty mentor to the students in the programme, said mentoring pre-doc students gives him immense satisfaction as IIMB has been able to attract good students to the programme. “All our alumni are doing very well. Given the diverse backgrounds that you come from, you must invest in knowing and understanding your domain.
