BMS at IIM Kozhikode Offline Course

The Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS) is a Four Year Eight Semester programme that offers a Major in Management and options to pursue minor in multiple areas like Economics and Public Policy, Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning, Psychology and Behavioural Sciences, Finance and Big Data, Liberal Studies in Management , Marketing , Sales and Digital Promotion etc. The programme is organised on the basis of Credits which is the fundamental unit of study in this programme. A credit represents the workload of a course, measured by the weekly hours of instruction during a semester. One credit is equivalent to one hour of classroom instruction /week in a semester. A four credit course will therefore have a minimum of 4 hours of classroom instruction every week throughout the semester. The students are expected to spend at least 2 hours for preparation (before and after the class) for every hour of class room engagement.

A semester will be for a minimum of 15 weeks. In a year, there will be two semesters. The odd/fall semester (Semesters 1, 3 , 5 and 7) will commence in September and continue till December. After a brief semester break, the Even /Spring semester (Semesters 2, 4 , 6, and 8) will begin in January and continue till April.

The summer break will be from May to August every year. The students may opt for internships in organisations, research projects with faculty or pursue extra credits by taking up courses offered in summer terms (Usually 2 credits)
