IIMB is planning to introduce four-year BSc (Hons) programmes in economics and data science starting in August 2026 at the Jigani campus, emphasizing nurturing critical thinkers and problem solvers.
The programmes aim to align with the National Education Policy (NEP), integrating various subjects such as economics, data science, communication, ethics, and philosophy with practical orientation, including internships and an international exchange term.
Applications for the inaugural cohort will open in September 2025 with an initial intake of 80 students, reaching a target of 640 students by 2031. The programme includes structured placement support and financial aid for deserving students.
IIMB's move is part of a broader vision to enhance India's undergraduate education landscape, with plans to offer additional UG programmes in Sustainability and Behavioural Sciences in the future.
