BANGALORE/MUMBAI: Now, IIM aspirants don't have to wait to get a bachelor's degree before taking the entrance test; at least a few can hope to step into India's top management school right after school.
The Indian Institute of Management-Indore has launched a five-year integrated post-graduate programme in management — a three-year degree programme followed by masters. The first batch scheduled this year will have 120 students.
The five-year residential programme allows students to drop out after the degree course, designed to be a mix of essential skill subjects — maths and statistics, history, literature and political science, biological sciences, languages, finance and accounting, economics and information technology. Apart from classroom lectures, IIM-I has a component on international exposure and an internship at a social organization.
