Introduction
It is high time that India would be able to experience an educational revolution and IIM Udaipur is taking all the efforts to make it a reality by launching its game-changing online bilingual BBA programme, which is scheduled to launch in July 2026. This is not a mere announcement, this is the giant leap towards democratization of management education to all corners of India.
About IIM Udaipur
You are well aware that IIMs are the best of the best as far as management education in India is concerned. However, it is a very daring step, which IIM Udaipur is making because now the traditional elitist education is to reach a learner who has always remained on the fringe. Through this BBA programme, with this BBA programme, they’re walking the talk on inclusion and innovation.
What is Special about this BBA Programme?
It is not the usual college degree that is classroom-based and taught in English full-time. The BBA offered at IIM Udaipur is an online, bilingual, and flexible program that caters to the needs of students who have a non-conventional background. Just imagine you can get the experience of the IIM education on the phone screen you see wherever you are.
Built to Serve the Underprivileged
It is a programme that students who have been marginalised over the decades will build-up on Hindi-medium school students, both rural and small town youth, NEET students, homemakers, and first-gen college aspirants. It is a drastic measure we need to take to achieve equality of opportunity and, frankly, it is well overdue.
“It is designed for learners who have been historically excluded,” said Prof. Ashok Banerjee, Director of IIM Udaipur.
The Bilingual Instruction Strategy
Whether English is used as a worldwide language of business or not, it is important to note that not all people in India are competent in its use and this applies particularly to the Tier 2 and Tier 3 towns. This is why this programme begins with the Hindi language as its mother tongue of teaching with a possibility to switch to English when he comes to the first year.
Use of AI in the Programme
Now comes the good part: IIM Udaipur is looking at voice cloning and lip-syncing technologies using artificial intelligence. So, what will it imply to the students? No matter what language they choose, they can access identical hype issues. This will increase the level of understanding and also see the learners flow into the area of becoming commanders of the language without much pressure being exerted by the instructors.
Flexible Programme Structure
That is what happens in life! Perhaps you are not able to enroll in a four year course. No problem. There are several exit routes in this BBA programme:
- After Year 1: Certificate
- After Year 2: Diploma
- After Year 3: BBA Degree
- After Year 4: BBA (Honours)
Perfect for anyone juggling family responsibilities, financial limitations, or other challenges.
