In response, IIM Jammu and Accenture’s Centre of Advanced Studies have jointly created a four‑year, full‑time eBBA (Hons.) programme that blends 60 % live online academic instruction from IIM Jammu faculty with 40 % industry‑led learning from Accenture, covering emerging domains such as cloud computing, data analytics, digital infrastructure and AI business applications alongside core management subjects. The curriculum is built around case studies, labs, simulations, real‑world projects, and includes built‑in career‑readiness training, internships and placement support from over 700 recruiters, as well as alumni status, campus‑access and a lifelong professional network. Eligibility requires passing Class 12 in 2024‑2026 with at least 60 % (55 % for SC/ST/PwD), and a valid score from recognised entrance exams (JIPMAT, SAT, JEE Mains, CUET or the eBBA Admission Test). Applications for the 2026 batch are open, with classes commencing on 1 July 2026.
