Ph.D. in Management at DTU

If you are looking at Ph.D. in Management, DTU in Delhi runs it as a 3-year, full-time doctoral course.

At its core, the programme covers how organisations run: accounting, marketing, finance, human resources, operations and business communication, usually with case studies and an internship.

DTU is a public/government institute, founded in 1941. This page brings together what is on record for this course at DTU — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most PHDBM programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means how organisations run: accounting, marketing, finance, human resources, operations and business communication, usually with case studies and an internship. Typical first jobs: management trainee, business development, sales, marketing or operations roles.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask DTU for the current semester-wise plan.
