Several Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) now accept Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main and JEE Advanced scores for undergraduate programs. This expansion offers alternatives to students beyond traditional engineering colleges. These programs focus on fields like digital business, data science, and artificial intelligence.
IIMs Offering UG Courses with JEE Scores
IIM Mumbai offers a four-year Bachelor of Science (BS) in Digital Science and Business Management. Admission requires JEE Main Paper 1 scores. Shortlisted candidates then undergo a personal interview. The program has a total intake of 70 students. The interview counts for 30% of the final merit list.
IIM Bangalore provides a three-year online Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Digital Business and Entrepreneurship. Applicants can use JEE Main, CUET, or the institute's own entrance exam. This course targets students interested in entrepreneurship and digital business innovation.
IIM Sambalpur presents a BS in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. JEE Main scores are used for initial shortlisting. A subsequent personal interview round determines final selection. The age limit for this program is 20 years, with age relaxations for reserved categories.
IIM Kozhikode utilizes JEE Main scores for its Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS) program. Students scoring 80 percentile or above in JEE Main, or 1300+ in SAT, receive an aptitude test waiver. However, they must still complete other admission stages. JEE scores act as a waiver, not a direct admission route.
IIM Lucknow offers a BS in Artificial Intelligence and Business Analytics. This is currently the only undergraduate program among IIMs that accepts JEE Advanced scores. Candidates must meet academic eligibility criteria. Specific mark relaxations are available for Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) candidates. The upper age limit is 21 years.
Admission Process Overview
The admission process varies significantly across these IIMs. Students should check the specific eligibility criteria and application procedures for each institute. JEE Main and Advanced scores now provide a pathway into management education directly after Class 12 for some students.
