The programmes include a two-year post graduate programme in management (both at Indore and Mumbai), a one-year full time executive post-graduate programme in management (EPGP) and a five-year integrated programme in management (IPM, 4th and 5th Year).

IIM-Indore is now among the few B-schools accredited by AMBA and the 4th IIM in the country to receive this accreditation.
