Scholar Guidance

DBA Admission Guidance

A sound decision, a strong application, and a research idea rooted in the work you already know.

Overview

What this service covers

You have spent years in industry, and you want your experience to count for something more — a doctorate that speaks to practice, not just theory. The DBA is designed for exactly that. But choosing between a DBA and a PhD, finding a credible programme, and framing a research problem drawn from your own workplace all take careful thought.

DBA or PhD

We help you decide between a DBA and a PhD on the basis of your career goals, time and intended contribution.

Find a credible programme

We guide you in identifying recognised DBA programmes — in India and abroad — that match your profile and schedule.

A researchable problem

We help you translate a real business problem into a researchable proposition for your application.

Application stages

We support you through the statement of purpose, research outline and interview stages.

Balancing work & study

We advise on balancing doctoral study with a demanding professional role from the outset.
