All about IPM and MBA after Class 12: Everything you need to know

These days a lot of students are interested in pursuing a career in management. Considering this, many IIMs (Indian Institute of Management) have introduced the 5 years Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) course. IPM is a dual degree program (Bachelors + Masters) offered by IIM Indore, IIM Rohtak, IIM Bodhgaya, IIM Jammu, and IIM Ranchi. The benefit of this course is that it allows students to enter an IIM right after Class 12.

Now, a student aspiring to pursue a career in management need not diverge from his path by going for engineering or law. IPM stands out in terms of the environment that it provides and the time that it gives a student to think and plan his/her life and align the reality with the aspirations. The IPM course was started in 2011 by IIM Indore.
