One of my cousins graduated from IIM Indore and here are some points he shared which might answer your question. 

• The eligibility criteria vary according to the course.
• You can have any background for getting into IIM Indore. 
• Irrespective of whether you have studied science, commerce, or arts, you are eligible for getting admission to IIM.
• Having a big brand tag along with being ranked as the top 7th IIM for MBA courses, IIM Indore seeks candidates with good academic scores and prefers the ones with work experience.
• For MBA/ PGDM, you require a bachelor’s degree with a minimum of 50% aggregate or equivalent but CGPA 45% in case of SC, ST, or PwD. 
• You should also have a good score in the CAT exam.
• For the IPM, class 12 with a minimum of 60% aggregate and 55 % for reserved category candidates i.e. SC, ST, or PwD. 
• You should score well in the IPMAT exam.

Therefore, these are some of the things you should keep in mind while planning on joining IIM Indore for Management Studies.

All of these are very good courses to pursue, but all of them are different from each other and have their own advantages. Let's have a look at all the courses.

1. B.Com (Hons) from SRCC: This course is among the best for commerce and the alumni network of SRCC is very good. It will help the corporate industry and helps the students to secure a good job in a reputed company. The course curriculum of this college is of high standards and it will have a great impact on your personal growth and development.
2. BMS from Shaheed Sukhdev: This is another popular course and is much better than many of the BBA courses. But it lacks behind other courses such as B.Com and IPM in terms of recognition and exposure in the industry. 
3. IPM from IIM Indore: It is a newly introduced course and there is not any alumni base. This makes it uncertain for some companies to visit during placements. The placement opportunities and the industry exposure available in this course are still unknown. But IPM can be a very good option for personal development. 

These are a small introduction for all the courses, and now you can choose one from any of them according to priorities and requirements. 

Any institute will help you with an arrangement of opportunities, may even get you a job in Finance or Management but it will be your decision, whether you'd want to pursue other interests or be in the job available. 

The package offered by IPM would definitely be lower than the one offered by the Engineering+MBA (IIM) program. It will nevertheless give you entrepreneurial skills that can be used if you'd like to and create your own empire.
