While IIMs have been offering the five-year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) since 2011, they had never launched standalone UG courses before 2024.

Between 2024 and 2025, IIM Sirmaur, IIM Sambalpur, and IIM Kozhikode have launched full-time, residential four-year undergraduate programmes in fields such as management, public policy, and emerging technologies, and IIM Bangalore introduced a three-year online BBA in Digital Business and Entrepreneurship (BBA-DBE).

Similarly, IIM Udaipur has announced plans to launch an ‘on-campus BBA programme from next year. The fees of UG courses range from %4.5 lakh for IIM Ban-

galore’s online BBA to nearly ₹28 lakh for Kozhikode’s Bachelor in Management Studies (BMS).
