In a move set to revolutionize management education in India, the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Udaipur has announced the launch of a pioneering online bilingual Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program. Slated to commence in July 2026, this innovative 4-year degree is the first of its kind among all IIMs, designed with a strong focus on inclusivity and accessibility for a diverse range of learners across the nation.
Traditionally, IIMs have been synonymous with elite, English-medium postgraduate management education. However, IIM Udaipur is challenging this paradigm by extending the IIM brand to a broader demographic, particularly those who have been traditionally underserved by higher education institutions.
A standout feature of this program is its unique bilingual approach. The primary medium of instruction for the initial three years will be Hindi, with the flexibility for students to transition to English. All study materials, assessments, and communication will be bilingual, ensuring comprehensive understanding. The fourth year, optional for students aiming for higher education or international opportunities, will be taught entirely in English.
AI Integration – Taking education to the next level
To facilitate seamless dual-language delivery, IIM Udaipur plans to leverage advanced AI tools, including voice cloning and lip-syncing technologies. This will ensure that regardless of their chosen language, students can access identical high-quality content, fostering better comprehension and enabling them to become proficient in both languages without undue pressure.
Who can apply for this program???
The online BBA program is specifically tailored to empower individuals from various non-conventional backgrounds, including:
Hindi-medium school students
Youth from rural and small towns
Homemakers
First-generation college aspirants
NEET (Non-Commerce) students
Multiple Exit Options as per NEP 2020 -
The program also champions flexibility with multiple exit options:
After Year 1:Â Certificate
After Year 2:Â Diploma
After Year 3:Â BBA Degree
After Year 4:Â BBA (Honours)
This modular structure allows students to tailor their educational journey to their personal circumstances, whether they are juggling family responsibilities, financial limitations, or other challenges.
Affordable Education with a Robust Curriculum
IIM Udaipur is committed to making this program accessible, offering an affordable fee structure and various scholarships, including merit-based and need-based options. A low-income student could potentially complete the 3-year BBA for as little as ₹87,500 or the 4-year honours degree for ₹1.37 lakh. The annual fee starts at ₹50,000 in Year 1 and gradually increases.
The curriculum is meticulously designed to provide practical, real-world skills, aligning with the principles of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020:
Year 1: Workplace Survival and Entrepreneurship – Equipping students with skills to earn and run micro-enterprises.
Year 2: MSME and Operations Readiness – Diving into the world of micro, small, and medium enterprises.
Year 3: Strategy and Leadership – Developing decision-making, finance, and project execution skills.
Year 4: Global and Research Readiness – Preparing students for postgraduate education or international opportunities, with a full transition to English instruction.
The program will utilize an online, mobile-compatible, and low-bandwidth platform, making content easily accessible. Assessments will be conducted at regional centres, further enhancing convenience for students.
IIM Udaipur's online bilingual BBA program is more than just a degree; it's a revolutionary step towards democratizing elite education in India. By breaking down linguistic, geographic, and financial barriers, it aims to empower millions of students who once thought an IIM dream was beyond their grasp. This initiative is a testament to IIM Udaipur's commitment to inclusive education and its vision for shaping a more equitable and skilled workforce for India's future.
For aspiring students looking to make the most of this incredible opportunity, thorough preparation is key. Institutions with a proven track record in guiding students to top colleges across India can be invaluable.
