IIMA's FPM program is unique and distinguished. It is a difficult program that puts your motivation to the test. You will complete two years of coursework, followed by a comprehensive examination, before submitting a research proposal and defending your thesis. It is a research program that should not be compared to traditional PG programs such as PGP/ MBA.

The duration is roughly 4-5 years, but it can be extended depending on your effort and luck. There are no tuition fees, and the institute will provide you with a generous stipend for the next five years. Following FPM, one can pursue an academic career or work in the industry. The degree provides you with numerous options, freedom, and opportunities.

To summarize, it is an excellent program that is difficult to complete. Even after passing through the hallowed portals, the journey to completion is difficult yet rewarding.

I don’t have detailed knowledge about what happens after completing the Fellow Membership Program at IIM Ahmedabad but I know a certain hardworking professional who had been working in top MNCs and they were outstanding in their academics but they could make it to the FPM at IIM Ahmedabad.

One of the people I know left his job and got into IIM-A as a research associate. He is still working at IIM-A. He recently got interview calls as well.

Another person I know was from BIT Mesra. She made it to FPM at IIM Ahmedabad last year at the age of 23-24. People look her up with great respect due to her achievement at this early age. There are a few others as well who are extremely talented and trying their best to achieve it.

A few FPM alumni I know are working as professors in many of the old IIMs. So, overall if you have that caliber and dedication, you will definitely achieve your goal. With the knowledge I have about the Fellow Membership Program of IIM Ahmedabad, I would rate it 4/5.
