Is the IPM program at IIM Indore very competitive? How many students take part in the IPM test every year on an average & what's the awareness level of IPM?
IIM Indore is a major deal in and of itself. According to my friends studying at IIM Indore, around 15000 students (approximately) took the aptitude test last year.
- This year's figures will rise as the IIM bill is enacted, and the first class of IPM graduates is placed 100% of the time, with an average package of 17.5 lakh.
- In the following years, it will undoubtedly be difficult.
- For the past three years, IPM has received between 15 and 19 thousand applications.
- Every year, 120 people are accepted.
- As a result, the math would lead you to believe it's more difficult to get into, than IITs and other prestigious institutions.
But that is not just the case, you can get in if you have above-average intelligence and can solve problems quickly. If you approach the interview casually, admission can become difficult.
How was your first day at IIM Indore IPM?
Here is the experience of one of the IPM students of IIM Indore.
She completed some paperwork and a brief registration process as soon as she arrived at the campus and Hostel Reception Center, after which she was given her temporary identity card, room key, etc. She also completed the course registration and other paperwork later that day.
The following two days of Induction were when the real action began.
On the second day, she and her friends hurried to the auditorium after hearing an introduction to the faculty, information about IGNOU, and the format of the IPM course. The remaining three days of the induction passed slowly. Despite the fact that students were involved and there were actual activities.
You are prepared for life at IIM, which is tedious and enjoyable but irregularly busy, during the 7-hour continuous induction.
What will be the future prospects after an IPM in IIM Jammu?
The future prospects for an IIM Jammu pass-out who has pursued IPM or the Integrated Program in Management are similar to the prospects of any IIM pass-out. This is because IIM is a brand image and the age of the institute does not matter much. What matters is your willingness to pursue a management career.
IIM Jammu launched its 5-year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) in 2021 and this will be the third batch that will get admission in 2023. As of now, no batch has passed out yet so it’s difficult to ascertain its worth. But for reference, I have tabulated the stats for PGP students

Which is better IPM course in IIM Indore or B.Tech CS in DTU?
IIM Indore and Delhi Technical University (DTU) are both very good institutes for their respective courses. The better option among the two will be DTU if the student is not interested in either the Management course or a tech course. A close senior of mine got a choice between DTU IT course and IPM course in IIM Indore and he decided to go with It course in DTU because: -
- Placement in DTU is much better than IIM Indore for the past few years.
- The IPM course is for 5 years whereas the IT course is for 4 years.
- Students who want to pursue a master's degree like MS or MBA get a better opportunity and have chances of getting a good job offer.
| Categories | IPM at IIM Indore | B.Tech in CS at DTU |
| Course Fee | 26 lakh | 7.81 lakh |
| Course Duration | 5 years | 4 years |
| Highest CTC | 25-28 LPA | 15-20 LPA |
| Average CTC | 14 LPA | 8-10 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | ICICI Bank, Nestle, Asian Paints, American Express, etc. | Capgemini, Wipro, Infosys, IBM, etc. |
The IPM course now has been converted into a degree course, But still, students usually prefer the 4-year B.Tech course rather than the 5-year long IPM course. If you want to study management after your class 12, then IPM will be a good option for you.
What has more value, an IPM from IIM Indore or a BBA from some reputed college and then an MBA from some top IIM?
First, keep in mind that you're looking for a program that will help you develop your entire personality while also giving you access to cutting-edge amenities and facilities and an assured MBA from one of the best B schools in the nation. The IPM course offered by IIM Indore is ideal for you if this is what you're looking for.
If, however, you are solely interested in a BBA program and are confident that you can enter IIM ABC after BBA despite the competition from roughly 2 lakh engineers, then go for it.
However, if you choose to do so, you also have the choice to leave the IPM after receiving your undergraduate degree and enroll in a better business school to complete your MBA. Therefore, if you must choose between the two, it is advised that you go with the first because it will give you better exposure, a more competitive environment, better amenities, and a rare opportunity to graduate from an IIM that is among the top 5 in the nation.
