The first year constitutes the fundamental courses which lay the premises for various management roles. Between the first and second year, students are expected to go through an eight-week summer internship. The second year constitutes the elective courses which provide diverse opportunities for students to study and specialise in their specific fields of interest. IIM Bodh Gaya follows the same pedagogy of its mentor, IIM Calcutta.[9] Students of IIM Bodh Gaya follow the PGP curriculum of IIM Calcutta and are taught by their faculty members itself.
