IIM Indore has welcomed the new batch of the Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP), Post Graduate Programme in Human Resource Management (PGP-HRM), Doctoral Programme in Management (DPM), and Integrated Programme in Management – Fourth Year (IPM-4th Year) on June 27, 2024.
While most IIMs are focussed on increasing the gender diversity of their management programs, IIM Indore stands out as an anomaly. The female students stood at less than 30% of the total students admitted to the flagship PGP program of IIM Indore. Another noticeable trend seen was a marginal dip in number of candidates admitted to the PGP-HRM program this year.
