BESPOKE MANAGEMENTPROGRAMMESWHAT ARE BESPOKE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMMES?
IFIM Business School’s Bespoke Management Programmes allow students to create their own learning paths and career goals. The flexibility to choose courses freely enables students to custom-create a curriculum uniquely suited to their individual needs and aspirations.
Students can pace their learning – they can take extra credits or reduced credits – according to their aptitude. They can even choose to drop a course if they are so inclined. The ultimate purpose is to leverage their strengths and align their learning path to the needs of the Industry and Business.
IFIM Business School’s Bespoke pedagogy empowers students to create their own learning paths and career goals, thereby creating a better industry fit compared to generic management programmes that are inflexible in their approach. IFIM is the only institution with a completely flexible PGDM programme, patterned on leading international B-Schools, which has been widely appreciated by the corporates as they get highly-focused resources.
IFIM’s exceptional faculty and industry mentors will guide students every step of the way – to help them discover the areas in management they are passionate about.
IFIM Business School’s holistic and integrated learning methodology is geared not only towards creating rewarding careers, but also towards learning and aiming for life-changing experiences.

IFIM Business School, in association with S.A.F.E. (Students Against Female Exploitation), an organisation formed by the dynamic students of IFIM, conducts a marathon every year for the cause, 'Save the Girl Child'. It attracts Bangaloreans from all walks of life. The participants of both genders, varying from students to working professionals, cover a distance of 5-10 km in total. The three major objectives for Kanyathon are Save the Girl Child, Women Empowerment and Awareness against Female Exploitation.
IFIM has a unique four-and-half-month Industry Internship Program (IIP) that enables students to ‘learn by doing’, in a real corporate work environment. The IIP provides a transitioning bridge between theory and practice which enables students to gain valuable insights about how to use their knowledge in the real world.
IIP has been appreciated by recruiters across industries as it empowers students with an insight into their chosen industry.

IFIM's Social Immersion Project empowers students to design sustainable and measurable solutions for social issues through research. Once they go through this immersion process, students become socially conscious and ethically responsible citizens.

I see in this programme yet another proof of
IFIM’s commitment to enable its students to constantly find ways and means to weave
the classroom with the real world. I have found this platform to be one
which enables the student to grow in understanding and
gaining confidence in preparing themselves
to be the leaders of tomorrow.
Dibyendu Sharma MondalSenior Consultant - Unisys
The mentorship program provides an immense opportunity to the student to leverage the expertise of the industry experts thereby equipping them with the skills and knowledge before they are out in the industry. This is a wonderful and enriching program to work and I am amazed that the institute puts so much thought process in developing and nurturing their students. As a mentor it helped me learn how to interact with students who may have trouble learning, or have different ways of learning subjects that differ from my own.I loved that every interaction with my mentee and with the mentoring staff who are always positive and supportive. Being able to tutor and mentor my students in helping them achieve what they aspire is a wonderful feeling.
It is a fabulous initiative by IFIM going
beyond education to caring by connecting students to industry, and helping them get
an insight and guidance before they make their choices in their career. It is about
making them believe in themselves and
providing a framework on how to achieve their objectives and realize
their dreams.

My mentoring experience at IFIM
Business School has been fabulous.
Corporate mentors bring in loads of
experience while the mentees bring in
immense amount of energy and desire to
learn, enabling students to map their desired career path.
The corporate mentor gets to personally
interact with every student and
understand their passion, aspirations
and dream job, and go on a journey of
exploration to help them achieve their goals. It is a truly
fulfilling experience.
Edwin Moses Group VP -Oracle Financial Services
IFIM's Corporate mentorship is one of its kind. It is a wonderful platform where students can leverage immense experience of corporate leaders who guide them in identifying strengths and traits which help in realizing their career aspirations/goals.
