How is the IPM course offered by IIM Indore? After completion of 5 years, do we get a diploma or a degree from IIM?

With the implementation of the IIM Act, students of the five-year Integrated Program in Management (IPM) would, like their PGP counterparts, begin receiving degrees rather than diplomas in 2018.

In contrast to their peers in colleges, IPM graduates could not enroll in higher education programs. It was for this reason that many students chose not to apply for the course.

Authorities at IIM Indore were troubled by the fact that IPM was a diploma program. Concerned, IIM Indore administrators permitted IPM course participants to pursue degree programs concurrently via distance learning. However, this action also did not put an end to the worries related to the IPM course.
