The Indian Institute of Management institutes are now offering more than the usual postgraduate management courses. Students who have valid JEE Mains or JEE Advanced scores can now apply to some undergraduate programmes at some IIMs. These courses are offered in areas like management, data science, artificial intelligence and digital business. This is an important change because JEE scores are no longer useful for IITs and NITs. They can now help students enter IIMs after Class 12th. However, the admission process differs across these IIMs.Read the article to know more details.
