IIM Udaipur's doctoral program is designed for students who aspire to become globally acclaimed scholars in their field. At IIMU, we believe that giving students ample opportunities to network with global peers through international exposure would play a key role in transforming Indian students into global scholars.
IIMU encourages PhD students to attend international conferences/seminars to present their research papers. For this purpose, students will be eligible for a grant of INR 2,00,000 over a period of four years to attend international conferences/seminars (outside India) subject to the acceptance of their research papers. Students are also encouraged to seek visits in research-oriented schools abroad to conduct research while in the program. The student can use the international conference budget for such visit instead of presenting at conference. Students are typically guided in such a manner that they present at least one paper in an international conference before their dissertation. Attending leading international conferences from their field allows PhD students to gain a global perspective on cutting edge research theories and methods and also provides them networking opportunities with academic peers and experts.
Students are also eligible to receive an additional funding of INR 2,00,000 to attend another international conference if they co-author a paper with an IIMU faculty member which gets accepted at a FT50/ IIMU A* journal list during the tenure of their PhD program.
The institute will fund an international immersion for up to two students (merit-based) in a year—enabling them to spend four months at an esteemed university abroad. The student will get assigned to an esteemed faculty from the host institute who will be their study-abroad “guide”. During their stay, the student can ideally assist on research projects, attend seminars and engage with the labs/ research centers of the host institute. The program will cover travel costs, living expenses, medical insurance (actual) and contingencies for the period. This is a unique offering in IIMU that is not currently available at any other IIM.
