"After a short stint in the corporate world, I realized
that my interests lay in academia. However, finding a suitable management
institute to pursue my interests was not easy. It was almost impossible to find
an institute in India that could groom one into a well-rounded scholar. After
reading about IIMT® and its Management Teacher Program® leading to the Ph.D. degree, I felt that it was exactly what I needed for
starting my new career. This three-year intensive program (with an attractive
stipend) provides comprehensive exposure to all aspects of management education:
management coursework, pedagogy, and research.
IIMT®’s focus on fostering a research culture is one of
its biggest strengths. To support research activity, the institute
provides access to almost all major databases and maintains an excellent
library. Training at IIMT® also encompasses institutional
development, management development, executive development, course design
and development, workshops, and a number of other activities which deepen
our understanding of the diverse roles of an academician." |

"I sincerely thank IIMT® for giving me this
opportunity to work on my dissertation at the University of Toledo. It gave me
an understanding of what it takes to do research on par with international
standards. I am glad that I got the opportunity to work under Dr. Kunnathur and
Dr. Sundar, my thesis advisors. This international exposure helped me develop
both professionally and personally."
