IPE’s flagship PGDM began in 1995. It combines core management subjects with electives, a summer internship and project work. Students study accounting, economics, marketing, finance, operations and organisational behaviour before moving to their chosen subjects.

The programme runs across six trimesters. The summer internship lasts about eight weeks. The broader first-year curriculum makes this the main option for applicants who want to study more than one management function before choosing electives.

PGDM–BFS is the finance-focused programme. Its subjects cover banking, insurance, financial services and risk, alongside the core management curriculum. The course has been offered since 2008.

The published programme material includes financial markets, banking operations and the regulation of financial services. Students complete project and internship work as part of the two-year programme. This is a separate diploma from the flagship PGDM with finance electives.

PGDM–MM has been offered since 2007. The programme covers consumer behaviour, marketing research, sales and branding, with management subjects such as accounting, economics and business communication.

The prospectus describes a six-term, 106-credit programme with an eight-to-ten-week summer internship. Marketing electives follow the core courses. Students study how firms research markets, build brands and manage customer relationships.

PGDM–IB began in 2009. It covers international trade and business alongside finance, marketing, operations and strategy. The curriculum includes the global business environment, international business laws and multinational company strategies.

The programme is taught at the Shamirpet campus. Its international focus comes from the curriculum; it should not be confused with a degree that requires study at an overseas campus. Published academic fees follow the same schedule as the other PGDM programmes.

PGDM–HRM began in 2012. The course combines core business subjects with human resource management and electives. Labour legislation, strategic management and organisational behaviour are among the subjects in the prospectus.

The prospectus lists an intake of 60 for HRM. Students study people management across corporate, government and social-sector organisations. The two-year diploma includes projects and an internship; the latest published study plan uses trimester headings.

PGDM–Business Analytics was introduced in 2024–25. The programme combines management subjects with statistical, analytical and technology-based methods used in finance, marketing, operations and consulting.

The prospectus lists an intake of 60. Its focus is the use of data to explain business results and support decisions. As a newer programme, it does not have the same long-term placement record as the established PGDM courses.

The FPM is IPE’s full-time research programme. The latest flyer gives a four-year duration and asks for a first-class master’s degree in Management, Economics or Commerce. Selection uses an accepted test, a 5,000-word research proposal and an interview.

The published fellowship is ₹50,000 a month in years 1–2 and ₹60,000 a month in years 3–4, with an annual contingency grant of ₹25,000. Hostel accommodation is paid for separately. The next intake’s fee and admission dates have not been announced.

IPE conducts short management development programmes for executives and organisations. The 2026–27 training calendar lists programmes with their own dates, duration and fees. They are separate from full-time PGDM admissions.

Topics draw on the institute’s work in management, governance, finance and public enterprises. There is no single total fee or fixed degree duration for the training calendar. See upcoming management programmes ↗.
