IIM Bangalore’s EPGP (Executive Post Graduate Programme in Management) is a one-year, full-time, residential MBA-equivalent program. Classes typically run from April to March of the following year. The curriculum covers core management foundations in the first half followed by electives drawn from EPGP, the two-year PGP, PGPEM, PGPBA, and PGPPM, giving students unusually broad access to IIMB’s elective catalogue. The program includes an international immersion module of roughly two weeks at a partner foreign university. Eligibility requires a minimum of 5 years of full-time work experience (typically up to 12 years is considered the sweet spot), plus a valid GMAT or GRE score. The current program fee is approximately ₹33.71 lakh, with an additional ₹5.5 lakh for the international immersion. Mean salary for the EPGP 2026 batch was reported at ₹35.5 LPA.
