IPMs or Integrated Programmes in Management are steadily gaining momentum in both the B-School world and the business world. The need for ‘trained managerial talent‘ is addressed through an IPM where candidates are prepared, from a ‘foundational level, for taking up leadership positions in corporates/government organizations‘.
IIM Rohtak and IIM Indore already have their own version of an IPM. Following suit, IIM Bodh Gaya is launching its own IPM from the academic year of 2021 called IIM BG-IPM 2021-26.
Let us now dive into the details that have been released about the IPM offered by IIM Bodh Gaya.
Programme Overview
Firstly, an IPM involves a BBA or ‘Bachelor of Business Management‘ degree and an MBA or ‘Master of Business Management‘ degree. This is what IIM Bodh Gaya is offering, taking a leaf out of the books of IIM Indore and IIM Rohtak.
Furthermore, once accepted, one can choose to leave upon completion of their BBA degree (3 years). Those who stay will go through the MBA degree (2 years) and complete the IPM (5 years in total).
