About IPM
In 2011, IIM Indore introduced a five-year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM). The program was introduced to cater to the changing needs of the corporate sector. The program is suitable for the students who choose to make a career in management right after they have passed 10+2.
The 5-year Integrated Programme in Management introduced by IIM Indore aims to provide an excellent education that enables students to adapt and develop diverse skills, which helps them become competent leaders in the industry. After IIM Indore, it was IIM Rohtak that introduced the program in their curriculum. However after these two IIMs, IIM Bodh Gaya and IIM Ranchi introduced IPM in their curriculum from 2021.
