Is there an Exit Option?
Yes, both the IIMs offer an exit option after three years of the program, however, the student will then be graduated with a bachelor's degree solely. This also means that if students wish to pursue MBA after exiting IPM after 3 years of completion, they will have to appear for CAT and apply again like a fresh candidate.
Please note, the students will be required to maintain a minimum GPA to transition from BBA to MBA after three years. Curious minds can always appear for CAT without exiting this program and make their decision after the exam.
