IIM INDORE: 5 YEAR INTEGRATED PROGRAM IN MANAGEMENT(IPM)

Launched by IIM Indore in 2011, the five-year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) is the first of its kind in India. It is a unique and creative programme meant for young students with managerial and leadership aspirations. Through the IPM, IIM Indore seeks to attract young students, and mould them as outstanding leaders through a world-class education.

IPM is aimed at students who have passed out of class XII/Higher Secondary or equivalent from schools across India.

The Programme consists of 15 terms spread over a period of 5 years, with each year having 3 terms of 3 months. IPM is in two parts. The first three years build a foundation, and the last two years focus on management.

The foundation has three major elements:

• Courses in Mathematics, Statistics and Economics build analytical rigour.

• Courses in Psychology, Sociology and Political Science along with courses in Economics provide an understanding of the core disciplines on which the study of management is based.

• Courses in Science, Engineering, Humanities, Literature and Fine Arts provide breadth and perspective.

A combination of analytical rigour and wide exposure equips IPM students for leadership roles and positions of responsibility in different sectors.

After 3 years of intensive study of foundational disciplines, the IPM students train as managers along with the students of the Institute’s 2-year Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP), undertaking the same course package in management studies in years 4 and 5.

IPM students are required to complete a social internship at the end of year 3, and a business internship between years 4 and 5. This experiential learning inculcates leadership qualities in them and hones their managerial skills further.

On successful completion of the five year rigorous academic experience, the participants would be awarded Integrated Diploma in Management by IIM Indore. A Study Centre and an Examination Centre of Indira Gandhi National Open University have been opened at IIM Indore to facilitate the students to get a bachelor’s degree.

The application window for aptitude test (AT) of IPM course is open till April 16. The test will be held in 28 cities across the country on May 13. The candidates will be selected on the basis of overall performance in AT and personal interview. The candidates who clear the AT would be shortlisted for the personal interview. Candidates who have obtained minimum 60 per cent marks in classes X and XII can apply for admission in the course.
