Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) has opened applications for the 2027-29 batch of its two-year blended MBA in Business Analytics and AI, known as BPGP: BA & AI. The last date to apply for Round 1 is November 2, 2026.
The Blended MBA in Business Analytics and AI is a two-year degree for working professionals and entrepreneurs. It mixes management with analytics and AI skills. It is a blended programme, which means most learning is online and live. It includes live, direct-to-device learning with in-person touchpoints at the IIM Ahmedabad campus. The programme has three on-campus modules, and the fee does not cover travel or stay for them.
The curriculum covers business management, analytics and AI through case-based discussions, capstone projects and action-learning projects. Candidates can choose from 20 areas, such as predictive and prescriptive analytics, product management, finance and risk management, AI ethics, Gen AI and Agentic AI.
The programme fee is Rs 21 lakh in total. The price has risen from the earlier Rs 20 lakh listed for a previous cycle. Fees are paid in six installments, after a non-refundable first commitment fee of Rs 1,00,000. Travel and stay for the campus modules cost extra. Bank loans may be available for financial help.
It may not suit them if they want a full-time residential MBA, or if the fee and travel are a stretch.
