IHM Mumbai is a public/government institute, founded in 1954. This page brings together what is on record for this course at IHM Mumbai — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most UGD programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means operations planning, supply chain, logistics and quality management. Typical first jobs: operations, supply-chain or logistics roles.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask IHM Mumbai for the current semester-wise plan.
