The CIMP admission to the FPM  programme is based on candidates' scores in CAT/ GMAT/ GRE/ NET. Candidates are required to submit a synopsis of roughly 5000 words on the topic of their research interest and each candidate have to give a presentation before the selection committee. Further, candidates are shortlisted based on their test scores in CAT/ GMAT/ GRE/ NET, past academic records, relevant work experience, and presentation quality. Then, they are called for Research Proposal Presentation and personal interview (PI).
