Prospective students interested in pursuing management education at one of the country's top-ranked IIMs should take note of the available courses and eligibility criteria.

Programmes Offered for 2026 Admission

IIM Indore offers a diverse portfolio of programmes catering to fresh graduates, working professionals, and executives. The key programmes available for the 2026 admission cycle include:

• Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP) – The two-year full-time flagship MBA-equivalent programme, primarily admitting candidates through the CAT score.
• Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) – A five-year integrated programme designed for students who have completed Class 12, combining undergraduate and postgraduate management education.
• Post Graduate Programme in Management for Working Executives (PGPMX) – A programme tailored for mid-career professionals seeking advanced management education while continuing in their careers.
• Executive Post Graduate Programme (EPGP) – A one-year full-time residential programme for senior professionals with significant work experience.
• Fellow Programme in Management (FPM) – IIM Indore's doctoral-level programme for those aspiring to careers in research and academia.

Admission Process and Key Criteria

For the flagship PGP programme, admission is based on the Common Admission Test (CAT) score, followed by Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds. The IPM programme, on the other hand, admits students through the IPMAT (Integrated Programme in Management Aptitude Test), a dedicated entrance examination conducted by IIM Indore annually.

Working professional programmes such as PGPMX and EPGP consider candidates' work experience, academic background, and performance in interviews as key selection parameters. The FPM admits scholars based on scores from CAT, GMAT, GRE, or UGC-NET, depending on the specialisation area.
