Among the courses in IIM Ranchi, the MBA is the main one, and the MBA-HRM and MBA-BA are the specialised ones. The institute says it was the first IIM to offer an MBA in Human Resource Management. The MBA-BA, launched in 2021, had the highest average package of the three in the Batch of 2024-26. The best courses in IIM Ranchi depend on the career you want, not on the title. Compare IIM Ranchi courses on curriculum and placement, not on the name. The IIM Ranchi PG courses with analytics and HR focus are the MBA-BA and MBA-HRM.
IIM Ranchi UG courses come down to one route after Class 12. That is the five-year IPM, which ends in an MBA degree. A student who exits after year 3 gets a BBA, if all requirements are met. IIM Ranchi has no standalone bachelor's programme. The other IIM Ranchi degree courses are at the MBA level and need a bachelor's degree first. IIM Ranchi UG courses and degree courses are therefore the IPM and its BBA exit.
Seats across IIM Ranchi courses are not split by programme on the course pages. The NIRF 2026 data sheet shows a sanctioned postgraduate intake of 380 for 2024-25 and for 2023-24. Check the admissions notice for your batch before you plan around a number.

A pedagogy called Working with AI runs across the MBA courses.
The MBA-HRM adds a full HR value chain in year 1, plus labour economics and industrial relations. The MBA-BA adds Python, data engineering, econometrics and machine learning. Both share year 2 electives with the MBA, so you can take marketing or finance electives in either.
The IIM Ranchi PG courses are the MBA, MBA-HRM, MBA-BA and Executive MBA. Doctoral programmes sit above them. Courses in IIM Ranchi at the PG level all need a bachelor's degree, except the IPM. The IPM is also one of the IIM Ranchi PG courses, because it awards an MBA at the end of five years.

The others are Operations, Organisation Behaviour and HR, Strategy and Entrepreneurship, and Liberal Arts and Sciences. The IIM Ranchi MBA does not carry a formal specialisation label.
