Ph.D is a research course. Students are selected through URET/UGC-NET/UGC-JRF. The Dept. provides an excellent environment for carrying out advanced research, thus creating highly committed researchers trained in the most recent methodologies and engaged in producing original research work.
BU doctoral programme provides a diverse set of opportunities for interdisciplinary education and research. The small entering class ensures close interaction with the faculty, where students can determine their own directions under the guidance of their thesis advisory committees.
Students spend generally a little over four years that includes course work. Course work in the first year provides a HR management/Research methodology overview and develops basic skills for analyzing managerial problems. In the second year, students take advanced doctoral level courses in their areas of specialization. The doctoral research, for the next couple of years, provides them with an opportunity to make original contribution to an area of management or to one of its source disciplines.
The faculty of Department have studied and worked in the best of institutions within India and around the world. Their involvement with public and private organizations allow them to bring relevant research issues into the classroom and in their research. This creates an exceptional environment for developing a research programme that can build sound theory for analyzing complex managerial problems.
