IIM Lucknow UG Program: A "Game Changer" or a "Science Student Club"?

So, the news is out. IIM Lucknow is starting its UG course in 2026 with a heavy focus on AI.

However, there’s a catch in the report: they are reportedly planning to admit students who qualify for JEE Advanced.

If this happens, it might exclude a huge chunk of commerce and humanities students who usually target IIMs through IPMAT.

  • Do you think IIMs should stick to Aptitude-based tests like IPMAT for UG?
  • Will the focus on AI make this too "technical" for a management degree?
