In the last two years of IPM students get the same opportunity as compared to the CAT students.
IPM encompasses a range of subjects spanning the disciplines of Science, Humanities, and Commerce. It's a hand-picked mix of some of the most useful subjects in these disciplines which will ultimately shape you into being a good manager.
The course also includes subjects on physical training and mental agility. It is a well-rounded course with a lot of depth vis-a-vis a routine MBA.
As far as the placements are concerned, many top-notch companies don’t allow IPM students to apply. Most of the IPM students join start-ups.
In the coming years, companies will be more inclusive during placements. This can be validated by comparing the placement of IPM students in successive years.
