The programs are full-time, four-year residential courses and will be conducted at IIM Bangalore’s new campus in Jigani.
The program was conceived as part of IIMB’s vision to contribute to the UG education in India with the same academic rigour that defines its postgraduate and executive education programmes.
The curriculum will integrate economics, data science, philosophy, communication, and ethics, with a flavor of business education to establish a strong application-based orientation.
Programme highlights include two internship cycles; an international exchange term offering; a curriculum grounded in context sensitivity, individual transformation, and life competencies; and the option for a three-year exit with a degree. The balance of depth and breadth offered is expected to set these programmes apart from other UG offerings in India.
