At present, IIM Indore is not the only IIM that offers BBA + MBA courses. IIM Indore and IIM Rohtak have been offering the five-year integrated course in MBA for undergraduate students for a few years now.
In 2021, IIM Ranchi, IIM Jammu, and IIM Bodh Gaya also introduced IPM degree courses for students after Class 12.
The Five Year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM), is a unique program that aims to meet the aspirations of young students to become management professionals. Admission to this program is done through the JIPMAT entrance exam followed by Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI).
Some more benefits of the course include:

For admission to its five-year course, IPM, IIM Indore administers the IPMAT aptitude test (Integrated Program in Management). IIM Indore offers IPM as a dual degree program (bachelor's + master's) for students who have completed the 12th grade. It is a program that enables entry into an IIM immediately following the 12th grade.
IIM offers a much better compensation package than any IIT or NIT. With the exception of a select few, the number of engineers in this group increased significantly.
Consider the following factors before choosing a college:
When it comes to partnerships with businesses and foreign institutions, IIM is the best. This greatly aids a college's growth and ability to improve its placements, ranking, and access to education abroad.
One of the most significant social influences today is brand, which has an impact on those in your immediate vicinity. IIM Indore has recorded a 6% increase in average salary, which has increased to Rs. 25.01 lakhs per annum in placement 2022 from Rs. 23.6 lakhs per annum last year. The average salary of the top 100 students in the batch has also increased, to Rs. 37.95 LPA from Rs. 33 LPA last year. In Placement 2022, the highest salary was Rs. 49 LPA, compared to Rs. 41.5 LPA the previous year.

Choosing a Data Science Program is a difficult task because the market is flooded with these courses. All of the programs are in collaboration with prestigious universities.
The program includes a fantastic combination of IIM Indore. That, however, is no longer a challenge. The best part about Jigsaw is that they always have a listening ear—they are eager to learn about the challenges of the students and are resolved with the same responsibility. Every issue will be addressed and resolved.
The course is good; the more time you spend on it, the more knowledge you will gain. you will never be crippled with content as Jigsaw is having a pretty decent quality of content and is very easy to follow.
All weekend classes will be recorded and made available to you if you want to review the material. The course will walk you through the statistical methodologies and tools used by data scientists for data analysis and modeling.
You have both graded and non-graded assignments. Non-graded for practice and graded for completion of the course. The more you practice, the more confident you will become. You will complete a mini capstone and a capstone project to gain hands-on experience.

IIM Indore IPM is a better option than an MBA Tech from NMIMS. Being an IIM, it offers better exposure. The academics, faculties, and infrastructure are top-notch. IIM Indore IPM placements have been pretty good over the last few years. According to the recent placement drive, students received an average CTC of INR 22 LPA.
For the IPM course of IIM Indore, there is a particular IPM paper that takes place for admission. The format of the paper has changed over the past 3 years. CAT and the IPM exam conducted by the IIM Indore are both different. The format of the IPM paper is as follows:
Although both CAT and IPM exams are different, the format of both of them is the same. Some short answer-type questions are not MCQ type and are slightly different. Although the maths section is higher than the other section in the exam due to the short answer-type questions, the difficulty level would not be much. The cut-off for Quantitative Ability of the IPM exam is nearly 25-30%, therefore you need to go through a lot of Advanced Mathematics and should practice the CAT level mathematics well. According to the marking scheme, Each correct answer is +4 in the exam, and for the wrong answer, there is -1. This negative marking scheme is not applicable for the short answer questions.
Courses like IPM and PGP-HRM are bold, outstanding, and pathbreaking. It took great hard work for the decision-makers to start these courses. However, the amount of success for these completely depends upon the intention.
The real question would be, “Why IPM? Why Mumbai Campus? And why opting for HRM course?”. If the answer to all of these questions is “Money” then whether IIM Indore is doing right or not will depend on the number of admissions, fees, and the ROI.
If the answer to your question is “for a good career”, then the success completely depends upon the faculty, facilities, and placements. Even if the intentions are considered to be good, most government bodies do not take the lead and act from the front.
It is very confusing to say if the students are too ignorant to believe what they see or if the institutions are providing incorrect information
You will have a plethora of combinations to choose from. Let me tell you about some of your options:
So you can pick and choose between a lot of options and see what meets your interest and choose a career path accordingly.
IPM does not offer a BBA degree but you will receive a BA degree for your undergrad coursework (Foundations in Management). The subjects taught at the undergraduate level are vastly different from those taught in any other BBA program. Any decision based on an assumption about the IPM curriculum can land you in big trouble.
Returning to the question, I'm not familiar with the specifics of the four-year Tri-City programme, but I'm sure it entails a lot of learning from an institute like SPJ.
Comparisons can be made when other IIMs launch courses similar to IPM, which does not appear to be happening anytime soon. Until then, IPM would be a clear winner in terms of undergrad management education.
