IIM Kashipur Admission Process

MBA and MBA Analytics applicants go through a two-stage selection process based on CAT and merit. The institute has no management quota, and every seat is allotted through the centralised CAT-based process.

MBA and MBA Analytics Admission

• Check eligibility: Applicants need a bachelor's degree from a recognised university with at least 50% aggregate marks. The minimum is 45% for SC, ST and PwD applicants.
• Appear for CAT: Indian applicants must have a valid CAT score because no other entrance examination is accepted.
• Complete Stage 1: IIM Kashipur shortlists candidates for the personal interview according to category-wise CAT percentile requirements.
• Complete Stage 2: The final list uses a 100-mark composite score. It assigns 41 marks to CAT, 25 marks to the personal interview and 15 marks to work experience, along with marks for academics and diversity. Female and transgender applicants can receive 6 bonus marks for diversity.

For personal interview shortlisting, General category applicants need a minimum 95 overall CAT percentile and at least 75 percentile in each of QA, DILR and VRC. EWS and NC-OBC applicants require 81 overall and 55 in each section. The requirement is 66 overall with 45 sectional for SC applicants. ST and PwD applicants need 42 overall, with sectional requirements ranging from 25 to 30. Clearing these levels does not ensure an interview because the institute may set higher internal cutoffs according to the number of applications.

EMBA and Executive Programmes

• EMBA eligibility: Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree and have at least 5 years of post-graduation work experience.
• Selection method: The institute assesses the application and work record before conducting its own interview process.
• Entrance requirement: CAT is not needed for the EMBA or Executive Development Programs.
