IIM Indore PGP-HRM Course Structure

The first year mixes core management subjects with the basics of human resources. The second year is HR electives and industry projects.

Term	What you study
Terms 1 to 3, year 1	Core management subjects plus hiring, pay and behaviour at work
Summer, after year 1	An eight-week summer project inside a company
Terms 4 to 6, year 2	HR electives: analytics, psychometric tools, learning and industry projects

IIM Indore PGP-HRM Hostel and Campus

The course is fully residential, so every student stays on campus for both years. The room is already inside the course fee and only the mess is charged on top.

Item	Detail
Living on campus	Staying in the hostel is part of the course, not a choice
Room in the fee	The hostel room sits inside the yearly course fee
Mess	Paid to the mess committee, INR 18,000 a trimester
Campus	One campus on a hill in Indore, Madhya Pradesh

Should you pick PGP-HRM at IIM Indore?

This course suits students who want to build a career inside human resources and can live on a residential campus for two years.

Pick it if:

You want an IIM seat without a second exam: ticking the PGP-HRM option on the CAT form is the whole application, with no extra form and no extra fee.

You want human resources work with numbers: the second year is built on HR analytics, psychometric tools and live projects in hiring, pay and learning.

You want the fee back fast: at the last batch's average pay the full course fee comes back inside the first working year, as the ROI tile shows.

You are applying to the flagship course anyway: every applicant is looked at for this course too, so one interview call can end in either seat.

Skip it if:

You want a general management degree: this is a human resources course from the first term, and the electives in year two stay inside HR.

You clear the overall gate but not one section: the sectional cutoff stops you on its own, so a strong total score cannot carry a weak section.

You want to live off campus: the course is fully residential for both years, so the hostel is part of the deal and not a choice.

You want a large batch behind you at placements: this batch is far smaller than the flagship one, so fewer firms come to campus only for HR roles.

Counsellor's advice

If human resources is the job you actually want, place this course above a general management seat at a lower ranked school: the campus, the fee and the recruiters are the same as the flagship course here.

IIM Indore: 9 Answered Questions

Why is there an integrated course of BBA MBA in IIM Indore only?

Darryl ThomasStudied at Indian Institute of Management Indore

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:

You can save time and money by combining both undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
The program builds commercial and management skills for a successful management career.
You will learn marketing, finance, operations, strategy, and entrepreneurship.
The competitive program requires a written test, personal interview, and academic record.
Employers value the program,and alumni work for top Indian and international firms.

Which are the top branded institutes/colleges/university in India like IIM Indore IPM for doing dual courses of BBA+MBA after 12th Commerce?

Vihaan SharmaIPM from Indian Institute of Management Rohtak (Graduated 2022)

IPM is a five-year integrated management program that combines either a BBA or BMS with an MBA. Students who want to pursue careers in management and leadership after completing their XIIth or higher secondary education can register for these courses. Only students who are certain of their goals and who are interested in management should enroll in this integrated course because, over the course of five years, they will only learn about business management and how to become the ideal manager.
These integrated programs are unique in that they offer dual degree programs as well. A second entrance exam is not required in order to enroll in a graduate program. To enroll in the course, there is only one entrance exam.
The following list includes some of the top IPM colleges in India along with information on how to apply.

IIM Indore launched the IPM program in 2011 for young students who wanted to go into management or leadership after finishing their XII classes. The program's learning objectives are broken down into the first three years of the bachelor's program, and the following two years will follow the PG program's curriculum.

IIM Rohtak launched the IPM program in 2019 and was successful in quickly filling 150 seats.

IPMAT is the entrance exam for IPM (as opposed to IPMAT for IIMI), and it has a different exam format and scoring system than IIM I. Following WAT and Interviews at designated IIM R locations, the second round is conducted.

The oldest existing university is Mumbai University, which is situated in Mumbai, Maharashtra (1857). With 60 seats available for the course, it offers an integrated management program that divides the first three years into a BMS degree and the final two years into an MBA degree.

Following the 12th grade, Jindal Global Business School has developed this innovative and distinctive course of an integrated program that includes BBA(Hons)+MBA and lasts for five years. It is a course that equips students with a global outlook through a special approach to learning and communication.

Choosing a college wisely has become increasingly important, so students should not only pay attention to the college's physical facilities but also to the curriculum it will use for their semesters. This provides students with a clear picture of the courses they will be taking at that specific college. One thing to keep in mind when reviewing the curriculum is that UG courses shouldn't be repeated in PG courses because this would lessen the integrity of the courses and allow students to observe evolution in them.

What should I prefer, IPM IIM Indore or a B.Tech from IIT/NIT?

Jason JoseIIT Kanpur

For admission to its five-year course, IPM, IIM Indore administers the IPMAT aptitude test (Integrated Program in Management).

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.

Gourav RajProject Manager at OpenText (company) (2016–present)

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:

40 Questions - MCQ Type - 40 minutes (Quantitative Ability)
20 Questions - Short Answer Type - 40 minutes (Quantitative Ability)
40 Questions - MCQ - 40 minutes (Verbal Ability)

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.

Is IIM Indore doing right by adding courses after courses like IPM, Mumbai Campus and now PGP-HRM?

Swati RajStudied at Indian Institute of Management Indore

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

Is a 4-year tri city BBA course of SPJ better than a 5-year IPM at IIM Indore?

Charu MalikStudied at Integrated Programme in Management, IIM Indore (2021)

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.

Having said that, IPM and the aforementioned course can be compared on the same scale.
Two degrees from IIM Indore (one of which is the regular MBA that other PGP participants are entitled to) is an incredible value that cannot be matched by any other BBA programme in the country.
Other benefits include the environment and opportunities that come with being a student at an IIM.

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.
