Imarticus School of Finance & Business (ISFB) has strengthened its Bachelor’s Program in Finance & Business through a partnership with the Indian Institute of Management Udaipur (IIM Udaipur). Under the collaboration, students joining the 2027 batch will be able to earn a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree awarded by IIM Udaipur as part of their undergraduate education at ISFB.
The collaboration brings together IIM Udaipur’s academic expertise and ISFB’s industry-focused approach, creating an undergraduate learning pathway that combines academic rigour with practical, real-world exposure.
The programme integrates finance, business and technology to help students understand how these disciplines intersect in professional environments. Through this multidisciplinary approach, students will develop a strong foundation to navigate the evolving business landscape.
Partnership Combines Academic Excellence with Industry-Relevant Learning
Commenting on the partnership, Joy Parekh, CEO of ISFB, said, “We believe every ambitious learner deserves access to world-class academic thinking and real-world opportunities. Together with IIM Udaipur, we are building a BBA experience that brings these two dimensions together from the very beginning of a student’s journey.”
Elaborating on the vision behind the BBA programme and its role in expanding access to management education, Prof. Kunal Kumar, Chairperson of the BBA Programme at IIM Udaipur, said, “This BBA is not just another academic offering. It is, in spirit, a reimagining of what access to excellence can look like in India today. The programme brings IIM-level rigour into an Online & Flexible design a combination that speaks as much to inclusivity as it does to innovation.”
He added, “Our vision is simple yet ambitious: to make learning travel beyond the four walls of classrooms and reach those who have long remained outside formal systems. For a country of India's size and spirit, that is no small ambition. And frankly, it is long overdue.”
Students to Access IIM Udaipur's Academic and Alumni Ecosystem
Students will pursue their undergraduate education at the ISFB campus in Mumbai while earning their BBA degree from IIM Udaipur. The association will extend beyond the degree, with students attending their convocation at the IIM Udaipur campus, offering them an opportunity to mark the completion of their undergraduate education at the institute.
After completing the third year, students will also receive an official IIM Udaipur alumni email ID (@iimu.ac.in) and access to the BBA Alumni Career Connect Portal. These resources will help them remain connected to the institute’s alumni ecosystem after graduation.
By combining institutional association with applied learning, ISFB aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills required to pursue further studies and explore career opportunities across finance and business.
