Master of Philosophy (M. Phil.) in Commerce

This is a full-time research program of 18 months (approximate) duration in which scholars are trained to present their research findings. In preparation, they will complete prescribed courses aimed at giving them a thorough understanding of the principles of commerce and its application in industry. The ability to think systematically, and apply quantitative methods will give them the knowledge and skills to later work independently on their Ph.D. dissertation.

The electives offered by the department are subject to departmental guidelines (course pre-requisites, faculty and student availability). The candidates will decide on the electives, in consultation with the faculty member who has agreed to guide them. In each elective course, there will be about 16 colloquium sessions during the semester of about 2 ½ hours each, where the various topics will be presented by candidates, and discussed, under faculty supervision. Candidates will come prepared with the reading material listed for the session and indicated at the start of the semester.
