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.

How do I prepare for IIM, Indore IPM on my drop year?
It is preferable if you enroll in any educational coaching institution because you are taking a drop year, especially for IPM preparation. This is because for IPM, students have to give a PI and an Aptitude Test.
- The classes would be well-versed in giving CAT and IPMAT foundation courses which can be considered an additional benefit.
- Also, you will not be familiar with the format of IPMAT unless you attempt a mock test before the final exam.
- IPMAT is online, there won't be any previous year question bank, therefore the mock tests will offer you an advantage and also assist you for the PI round involved in the selection process.
- For the Quantitative aptitude section, I would suggest that you refer to NCERT questions (Classes 11th and 12th) and several competitive examinations questions..
- For the verbal aptitude test, You should focus on improving your basic grammar, reading books, and improving your vocabulary.
Lastly, as I have seen my friends prepare and do well in exams, I will encourage you to do the same. Be confident while giving your answers and attend the PI with complete honesty.

Is it good to do a BBA from an open university run by a state government like KSOU and TNOU to get in a better college in the future for studying an MBA?
Joining an MBA college does not usually depend on a student graduating with a regular course or correspondence course. But if you are not from a regular course, you tend to miss a lot of experiences which are only possible in a college atmosphere.
During your interview for admission in an MBA course, you will be asked why you opted for this rather than a regular college. You might have to put some more focus on extracurriculars as they will also come in handy during your selection.
Your selection will only be considered if there are not many students from regular courses applying for MBA. It is a very rare situation, and you should not depend on it.
It is suggested that you go for correspondence BBA or any graduate course. Join the full-time program and get familiar with the classroom environment. Symbiosis or Manipal is recommended for BBA as they are more reputed colleges than state Universities.
The fees of the IPM course at IIM Indore are too high. What is an alternative?
The total fees for IPM are nearly 20 lacs, but the returns will also be equivalent to the invested amount. You will be getting an IIM Degree and a chance to study with some of the best brains in the country.
There are many banks that will finance your education. Banks usually provide full education loans for students. Canara bank provides a full educational loan without any collateral. There are some scholarships as well such as the NBFA scholarship that are given to students of IPM.
But it is important to remember that the course will make them a better future if the candidate is ready to work hard and conquer all the challenges.
