Talking about the opportunities attached to IPM, IIM Bodh Gaya director Vinita Sahay said, "The number of opportunities for students interested in entering the corporate world is significantly less, especially at the undergraduate level.

The candidates will be assessed through a test called the Joint Integrated Programme in Management Admission Test (JIPMAT) that will be conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) responsible for organising tests such as JEE and NEET.”

The first three years of IPM include courses on basic concepts of mathematics, economics, social sciences, psychology, financial management, IT, and organizational behaviour, along with courses on physical training and mental health.
