According to the University Grants Commission (UGC) list, MBA and Masters in Management Studies (MMS) are the only two names approved for the two-year management programmes being offered by higher education institutions in the country.

The Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) may have more autonomy under the new IIM Act but that does not exempt them from following the law on awarding academic degrees

The IIMs in Ahmedabad and Lucknow are in favour of calling the academic degrees Master in Management (MIM), while others prefer the more common nomenclature Master of Business Administration (MBA).

MIM doesnt figure on the list of approved degrees under Section 22 of University Grants Commission (UGC) Act, 1956.

So if the IIMs wish to award an MIM, they would have to first approach the ministry for permission and also have the UGC notify the new nomenclature in the official gazette.

The IIM Act was passed by Parliament on December 20, 2017. The law makes each of the 20 IIMs an Institution of National Importance, like the IITs, NITs, and AIIMS. In other words, it empowers them to grant degrees to students.
