Kozhikode (Ker), Apr 25 (PTI) The Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode, one of India’s most respected and futuristic business schools, has now launched its first-ever full-time undergraduate degree programme, Bachelor of Management Studies (honours with research).
The pioneering four-year programme, BMS, will be delivered at the institute’s Kochi campus and is aimed at preparing a new generation of responsible, globally minded and innovation-driven leaders, an IIMK release here said.

The programme will also include career assistance from Corporate Access Readiness and Engagement (CARE), the professional career cell of IIMK and will reflect the institute’s commitment to progressive and inclusive higher education.
“This programme is a game-changer–not just for IIMK, as it introduces management thinking to young minds at the right age, empowers them with interdisciplinary tools, and shapes responsible, culturally aware leaders of tomorrow,” IIMK director Debashis Chatterjee said in the release.
The BMS admission process will begin with an aptitude test in June 2025, followed by interviews in July. The first cohort will begin classes in late August or early September, it added.
