IIM Sambalpur
IIM Sambalpur has started a four-year undergraduate programme called Bachelor of Science in Management and Public Policy, which is basically their version of the IPM that other IIMs offer, and it is meant for students who have just finished Class 12 and want to get into management education right away without having to wait till they complete a regular graduation degree.
The programme covers a good mix of subjects like business management, public policy, economics, law, and sustainability, so students do not just learn how companies work but also get a solid understanding of how governments and public institutions function, which makes it quite different from a regular BBA degree that most other colleges offer. It runs across eight semesters with a total of 170 credits, and one of its most student-friendly features is that it gives you the option to exit early, meaning you can leave after the first year with a certificate, after the second year with a diploma, or stay on for all four years and get the full degree, so there is no pressure of being locked into the programme if your plans or interests change along the way.
