The IIM Bodh Gaya organised introduced their Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) course on March 24, 2021. The institute is all set to launch the five-year course from the academic year 2021.
The course is designed for undergraduate students interested in the management field. Dr Vinita Sahay, Director, IIM Bodh Gaya, said that the number of opportunities for students interested in entering the corporate world is significantly less, especially at the undergraduate level. IPM will be a gateway for ‘fresh out of school’ students interested in corporate without waiting to reach the postgraduate level to study.
The first three years will be for undergraduate studies and the latter two years will be for the core management studies, and the IPM course will culminate with an MBA.
The candidates will be assessed through a test called the Joint Integrated Programme in Management Admission Test (JIPMAT). IIM Bodh Gaya and IIM Jammu have come together to conduct JIPMAT across 78 cities in India. The registration will start from 1st April 2021. The assessment will be done based on Class X, XII and entrance test scores. The weightage to the JIPMAT scores, Class X and Class XII percentages will be 70%, 15%, and 15%, respectively.
