The two-year PGP, the flagship programme at IIMB, is the MBA programme. The focus of the PGP curriculum is on developing a learning manager who is able to adapt to the fast changing world around him/her, without losing sight of underlying values and ethos. The programme lays the foundation for conceptual and analytical reasoning, and gives the students an insight into the dynamics of the business environment.

The Post Graduate Programme spans six trimesters spread over two years, with a summer internship at the end of the third trimester. The curriculum places great emphasis on the ability of the student to develop an integrated view of managerial problems and on his/her ability to apply and learn in live situations.

IIMB also has a very strong student exchange programme offered in collaboration with leading management schools. With the emphasis on developing managerial skills in leadership and teamwork during the programme, IIMB students are best equipped to manage and lead in the global business scenario which is getting increasingly complex and dynamic.
