To grow professionally in leadership roles in the rapidly evolving industry, business executives require in-depth knowledge and expertise in their fields. This can be acquired through a doctorate that can equip them with the practical-oriented skills to enhance their capabilities. Since a conventional On-Campus PhD degree is more academically inclined with fixed learning schedules, it cannot be an appropriate choice for business executives. To prepare business executives for the top roles in the industry, the Indian Institute of Management(IIM) has started providing an Online DBA doctorate in collaboration with highly distinguished top-tier foreign universities. 

Online DBA Doctorate is an equivalent qualification to the standard on-campus PhD Degree. Although the focus of this online doctoral degree is different from a regular PhD. Unlike a full-time On-Campus PhD which is focused on academic research, an IIM DBA Doctorate is practically oriented and offers applied research. This program is specifically designed for business executives to equip them with extensive and in-depth knowledge and expertise in their chosen fields.

The curriculum of the IIM DBA Doctorate is highly industry-oriented and offers a wide range of specializations in concentration to business acumen. The program stretches for 36 months and students go through compulsory coursework, comprehensive examinations, original research, and Thises/Dissertation preparation. Business executives get cutting-edge research facilities to formulate high-quality independent research that be applied to overcome contemporary business problems. Students get extensive support from highly qualified faculty members to conduct their research. 

Business Executives graduating with the IIM DBA Doctorate are entitled to steep career growth in leadership roles in the industry. They get the most rewarding benefits and career opportunities to make a career in industry as well as academics. Moreover, business executives become authorized to prefix their names with the “Dr” title post-completion of the IIM DBA Doctorate.
