Is the IPM program provided in IIM Bangalore?
No. At the moment, only IIM Indore and IIM Rohtak offer these courses, for which students must pass the IPMAT, which is administered separately by both IIMs. IIM Indore launched it in 2011, and IIM Rohtak launched it in 2019. However, due to its high potential and demand, all IIMs will soon launch this course.
There is a pre-doctoral program that generally takes about a year and allows students to study the core subjects in a doctoral program before deciding whether or not to pursue a Ph.D. and, if so, in what field.
Comments
IPM is offered only at IIM Indore and Rohtak. It might take another 2 to 3 years for them to begin these courses.
IIM Bangalore, however, is planning to start a 4 year UG program from 2023 in Liberal Arts. It will require a better infrastructure which is probably not feasible for older IIMs and newer ones will take the time placing these students.
As far as IIM Bangalore is concerned, you can think of taking the following courses as they will probably not be offering an IPM course any time soon:
| 2 Year MBA (Post Graduate Programme in Management) | Post Graduate Programme in Enterprise Management (PGPEM) |
| 2 Year MBA in Business Analytics | Post Graduate Programme in Public Policy and Management (PGPPM) |
| One Year Executive MBA | Doctoral Programme (erstwhile Fellowship Programme in Management) |
In the meantime, you can keep an eye on IIM Ranchi and Bodhgaya who have announced IPM programs starting this year.
