KIITEE Management 2027 applications are open. The last date to apply for the entrance test is January 4, 2027. The computer-based exam will be held from January 9 to 11, 2027 for admission to the MBA programme at KIIT School of Management (KSOM).
Students with a valid CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, GMAT or ATMA score can apply without taking KIITEE Management. Their application deadline is January 20, 2027. The entrance test has 120 multiple-choice questions from Quantitative Aptitude, Analytical Reasoning, English and General Knowledge, with 150 minutes to complete the paper.
KIITEE Management is KSOM's own entrance test for its full-time MBA programme. It is different from the general KIITEE used for admission to engineering and other courses at KIIT. The management test is held in January, while the general KIITEE follows a different schedule and paper pattern.
The 2027 test will be conducted on computers at centres in 18 Indian cities. Students who clear the cutoff are called for Group Discussion and Personal Interview. The final selection also includes a Writing Ability Test and the student's marks in Class 10, Class 12 and graduation.
The entrance-test application closes on January 4, 2027. The admit card will be available two days later, and the exam will run for three days. Students using another MBA entrance score get a later application deadline.

A graduate from any discipline can apply. The minimum is 50% marks, or an equivalent CGPA, in graduation as well as Class 10 and Class 12. All subjects, including optional subjects, are counted while calculating the percentage.
Final-year graduation students can also apply. They should enter the total percentage available up to their latest completed semester. Admission remains subject to completing the degree and meeting the minimum marks required by KSOM.
If the university or board has a CGPA conversion rule, that rule applies. If no rule is available, the percentage is calculated as:
The application form is available online. The process starts with registration and verification of the mobile number and email address. The student then fills in personal and academic details, pays the application fee and submits the form.
The application fee is non-refundable. KSOM has not shown the fee amount on the public 2027 application page, so the amount displayed inside the application portal should be used.
The 2027 test has 120 multiple-choice questions and lasts two and a half hours. It is held in computer-based mode, and all questions are in English. The paper covers Quantitative Aptitude, Analytical Reasoning, English and General Knowledge.
KSOM has confirmed the total number of questions and test time for 2027. The section counts and marking rule below are from the 2026 paper. They can be used as the tentative 2027 pattern until the new bulletin is released.
| Section | Questions in 2026 | Share of paper |
|---|---|---|
| Quantitative Aptitude | 30 | 25% |
| Analytical Reasoning | 30 | 25% |
| English | 40 | 33.33% |
| General Knowledge | 20 | 16.67% |
| Total | 120 | 100% |
The 2026 paper carried 120 questions. The 2027 section split will be confirmed with the new admission bulletin.
The 2026 paper awarded four marks for a correct answer, deducted one mark for a wrong answer and gave zero marks for an unanswered question. This is the latest official marking rule available. The 2027 rule will be final only after KSOM releases the new bulletin.
The 2027 paper has four areas: Quantitative Aptitude, Analytical Reasoning, English and General Knowledge. KSOM has not released a topic-by-topic syllabus. The four-section list matters because older exam pages still show an extra Issues of Social Concern section, which is not part of the current 2027 information.
| Section | What the section covers |
|---|---|
| Quantitative Aptitude | Numerical ability and problem solving |
| Analytical Reasoning | Logical analysis and reasoning |
| English | English language ability |
| General Knowledge | General and current knowledge |
The admit card will be available from January 6, 2027 until the exam day. It will show the student's test date, time and centre. A printed copy is required at the centre and should be kept until the admission process is over.
The exam will be held in 18 cities. The exact centre allotted to a student will appear on the admit card. If a test cannot be held at a selected centre, KSOM may move the student to the nearest available centre.
The result is scheduled for January 20, 2027. KSOM will set the cutoff after the test. This means there is no confirmed qualifying score or percentile before the exam.
Students above the cutoff are shortlisted for the next stage. A high entrance score alone does not confirm admission because KSOM also checks academic marks and performance in GD, PI and the Writing Ability Test.
The selection process is the same whether a student applies through KIITEE Management or an accepted national-level test. The entrance score is used for shortlisting. Final selection includes the student's Class 10, Class 12 and graduation marks, GD and PI performance, Writing Ability Test and entrance score.
GD and PI are planned in Bhubaneswar, Kolkata, Jamshedpur, Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai. The final city and reporting details will be shared with shortlisted students.
The MBA course fee for 2027 is ₹18,00,620. It includes tuition, AC hostel, mess, utilities and establishment, development and administration charges, books, study material and a laptop. The MBA is fully residential, so hostel stay is compulsory.
