Is math compulsory for IPM IIM Indore?
No, maths is not a compulsory subject to be a part of the IPM program. You are eligible to apply for the IPM program even if you are from a non-math background.
But the program includes multiple maths and statistics courses in the first 3 years that require a good hold of class 11th and 12th grades’ maths.
In the introductory two terms, Differential and Integral calculus is taught by maths faculty, so it should not be difficult. However, if you are not from a Maths background, then you may have a tough time coping with the multiple subjects. Maths and Statistics courses have a high weightage in the first two years and if not handled well, can pull down your overall grade.
But I know a lot of people from IIM Indore with a non-math background, doing well in academics. If you work hard you can have good academic records too, even if you don’t like Maths.
What are the chances of getting into IIM Indore IPM if my OBC rank is 61?
One of my friends opted for both Indore and Rohtak. He only got into the waiting list for Rohtak through the EWS Category Rank 80. It is actually a bit hard to get admission at IIM Indore.
According to a trend, which emerged from IIT and NIT, students are dropping out of their colleges to enroll in Indore because of its tremendous growth in the past few years. This has provided immense opportunities to students related to internships and work.
If you are an IIT/NIT aspirant and still confused whether you should choose Management from Indore or Engineering from IIT in sync with your interest in finance, entrepreneurship or consultation then you must go for Indore. It will also develop your business too.
During the 2nd merit list in 2020, students from NC/OBC category up to the merit rank of 47 got an admission offer. So, if we analyze from that, then you'd have a better chance after the result announcement of JEE Advanced.
How good or bad is IIM Indore Mumbai campus? Worth taking admission over there?
It is worth it to take admission to the Mumbai campus of IIM Indore. The coursework is rigorous and the faculty of the Mumbai campus is just as experienced and capable as the ones in the Indore campus.
The number of recruiters is increasing every year and the highest package is also seeing a rapid increase with each passing year. The companies do not hesitate to visit the Mumbai campus and treat it with the same respect as they treat the Indore campus.
The peer group in the Mumbai cause is also very good and you can expect to get excellent guidance from your peers and faculty. Through guest lectures, networking events and alumni meets; the campus generates and nurtures strong ties with the industries. The location of the institute is also a huge plus.
What was the highest package at IIM Indore IPM?
IIM Indore has published a combined report for its PGP and IPM courses, for its 2023 placements. As per the report, the highest package was 1.14 CPA, with 132.6 % increase. The average CTC was 30.21 LPA, and the median CTC was 27.2 LPA. Companies like EY, Google, Accenture, Hitachi, HUL, MAQ Software, etc. visited the campus with job offers.
Is it better to go for the IPM program offered by IIM Indore or do a bachelor's degree and go abroad?
First of all, it depends on the college you enroll in (for undergraduate study in India) and the subjects you are interested in. Choose IPM if the undergrad institution you are considering is not on par with it. If not, you might still think about that as a possibility.
Additionally, it depends on individual preference, financial situation, family, etc. Moving abroad is a major decision, and not everyone is emotionally or mentally prepared for it. Therefore, it is a very individual choice.
Most importantly, after completing the first three years at IPM, you are free to transfer to another college abroad. People have done this in the past and been accepted to institutions like HEC, and Paris. If you take this route, you will have the security of completing an MBA at IIM-Indore in case you are not accepted to your dream college abroad; however, if you are, you may leave IPM. It benefits both parties.
Additionally, three years is a long time, and if you decide to travel abroad, your preferences may change. In that case, IPM is still a better choice. As a result, we strongly advise choosing this option.
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.
Is there anyone in IPM IIM Indore batch with less than 90 percentage in class 10th and 12th?

How can I get admission in IIM Indore for a BBA? What is its eligibility criteria? What is its cutoff?
IIM Indore conducts an entrance exam called IPMAT (Integrated Programme in Management Aptitude Test) each year for its integrated management program. It is a combination of BBA and MBA.
You have to appear for the exam after your 12th. It is an aptitude test and will test your application skills in quant, verbal and logical reasoning. For applying you need to have a minimum of 60 percentile in 10th and 12th examinations.
The cutoff depends on the difficulty level of the exam. The section-wise cut-offs are released by the institute. You need to clear the section-wise cutoffs too in order to be selected.
Is economics honors a better option or IPM offered at IIM Indore?
Firstly Economics Honours required an in-depth study of Economics whereas the IPM program focuses on the many areas of Management. There is a drastic difference between the nature of both courses. No doubt Economics knowledge is beneficial for the IPM program but is not necessarily important. In IPM, Economics is just a 4 credit course in a term of about 30 credits.
IPM hugely emphasizes Quants over Economics. So if you are more interested in Economics, then IPM is not for you. Your choice should be a good college from DU North Campus. If you manage to get into one then pursuing Economic Honors is a much-preferred option over IPM. Don’t choose a below-average college for Economic Honors. In that case, go for IPM only.
