The goal of IIFT-Kakinada’s five-year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) is to integrate management education with STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) while also teaching young professionals managerial and decision-making skills. According to the New Education Policy 2020, students will be able to demonstrate problem-solving abilities supported by appropriate analytical techniques and will use ethical and socially conscious judgement when analysing business situations with an early introduction to the programme and a rigorous and holistic curriculum. The Indian Institute of Foreign Trade will grant candidates who successfully complete the course requirements of the integrated programme in management a Bachelor of Business Administration (Business Analytics) after three years and a Master of Business Administration (International Business) after five years.
Candidates who choose to leave after fulfilling the first three years of requirements will receive a Bachelor of Business Administration (Business Analytics) degree. According to the current MBA course structure, the first three years of the IPM programme would be based on the semester system, and the final two years would be based on the trimester system. Promotion from the BBA (Business Analytics) to the MBA (International Business) will depend on meeting all regulations on academic prerequisites.
