The Five-Year Integrated Program in Management (IPM) 2020-2025 is meant for those candidates who have completed (their standard XII/Higher Secondary Education (HSE) or equivalent) or those appearing in the year 2020. This innovative program aims to identify and amplify the leadership potential of young men and women to enable them to shoulder challenging managerial and administrative responsibilities in the context of Indian and global organisations.

• IPM provides an in-depth exposure to various areas of management and other branches of knowledge such as Biological sciences, Economics, History, Languages and Literature, Mathematics, Philosophy, Psychology, Social sciences and Statistics.
• The Program consists of 15 terms spread over a period of 5 years. IPM is delivered such that the first three years builds a strong foundation, and the last two years sharply focuses on management. The foundation has three major elements:
• Courses in Economics, Mathematics and Statistics build logical ability and analytical rigour.
• Courses in Political Science, Psychology and Sociology provide an understanding of the core disciplines on which the study of management is based.
• Courses in Engineering, Fine Arts, Humanities, Literature and Science provide the breadth and perspective.
• At the end of the five-year academic experience, those candidates who have successfully completed the program academic requirements are awarded the degree of an MBA along with BA (Foundations in Management) degree.

Need of the Program

1. An effective manager should visualize the change in the context in which he is operating and bring about the change. IPM prepares participants to appreciate and play this role.
2. IPM provides appropriately trained manpower who would explore effective management in sectors other than business. Needless to emphasize, India needs talented managers in several (social, voluntary, non‐commercial) sectors other than the business sector.
3. In order to train such managers who can bring about change, the design and delivery of a holistic management curriculum is a pre‐requisite. The Integrated Program in Management (IPM) is precisely aimed at such an opportunity.
4. The holistic curriculum with a motivation to prepare managers who can conceive and supervise change would provide an opportunity for the participants to realize their leadership potential.
