The design and pedagogy of the various Programmes offered by the Institute under Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) emphasizes professional skill-enhancement so that students could apply management concepts and theories to live problems in business and industry. Students are expected to achieve high standards of excellence. The pedagogy includes lectures, case studies, seminars, group discussions, business games, experiential learning activities, educational excursions, role plays, simulation exercises, structured and unstructured group work, and field visits. The emphasis is to involve the students in learning management concepts through real world examples.
The full-time programmes have been designed for ambitious young graduates who wish to achieve long-term professional goals through an industry-ready curriculum. The vision is to nurture competent graduates with productive skills and traits such as strong domain expertise, professional integrity, service mindedness, leadership, entrepreneurial orientation, and social consciousness. The programme is spread over a period of two years and is divided into four semesters. The courses in the first year are all compulsory, as they provide a balanced foundation in the basic disciplines of management. After completion of the second semester, the students undertake a six-week Summer Internship in industry for gaining hands-on experience. As a part of the Summer Internship project, students submit a detailed project report and make a formal presentation before a review panel consisting of faculty members and business executives from industry and academics. The second year courses are a mix of compulsory (core) courses and electives in the specialization areas of students' choice.
IMS periodically invites industry professionals to deliver topical lectures on cognate areas of business management. This is an interactive program wherein the students from different streams interact with guest faculty members and corporate executives. The entire exercise helps in better understanding the complexities of the business world.

At the end of the second semester, each student is required to take up a six-week internship assignment with an organization of choice. This is a compulsory component of the curriculum. The Internship has dual objectives. In the first place, it allows a student to apply the concepts learnt in the classroom and hone his or her ability to define, diagnose, analyze and solve business problems. Secondly, it provides a student a glimpse into the existing corporate environment and an appreciation of the interpersonal skills required to excel in the workplace.
