IMT Ghaziabad Admission Status 2027

IMT Ghaziabad uses five admission routes. The two-year PGDM route comes under IMT Common Admissions 2027, while PGDM ExP, MSc Data Management, Global Executive MBA and FPM follow their own forms and timelines.

Entrepreneurial work and other achievements are also included in the profile review.

Stage 2: Common Selection Process

Shortlisted students attend an offline common selection process for IMT Ghaziabad, IMT Nagpur and IMT Hyderabad. One appearance is enough for every campus and programme chosen in the form. IMT shares the process components and interview locations when it releases the shortlist.

The Fellow Programme in Management is the doctoral-level route at IMT Ghaziabad. The 2026 admission cycle has closed, and the next cycle has not been announced.

FPM applications are handled in monthly windows, and each window has its own application deadline and interview date.
