Research Seminars @ XIMB
 Research Training Seminar (RTS)
These seminars focus on research thinking and research practice, including topics such as goals and methods of research, logic and philosophy of research, language of research, contexts of research, research skills, new research topics, etc. We invite researchers, research students, and research-inclined professionals in every discipline to participate in these seminars. If you wish to lead a seminar under this series, please choose a topic that focuses more on the process of research (e.g., the context of research, the challenges before the researcher, available choices, etc.). Please send a brief reading material to be circulated beforehand. Also, please send us a one-page résumé of yours. We hold these seminars throughout year, on Friday afternoons. We reimburse domestic travel fare (Rail/Air) and provide local hospitality. There is also an honorarium of Rs 2,500 per seminar.

RTS Reports
 Research Review Seminar (RRS)
These seminars are led by our doctoral scholars as a part of their pre-registration work. Each scholar is required to lead at least four such seminars. These seminars should focus on key research themes pertaining to the topic of research chosen, as well as the related methodological issues. This process is expected to facilitate the scholar's effort at reviewing the academic literature and formulating a research proposal.
