IIM Kashipur Course Admission 2026: Dates, Fees, Eligibility, Application Process, Selection Criteria

The MBA Analytics program at IIM Kashipur requires candidates to hold a bachelor's degree with at least 50% marks (45% for reserved categories). Admission hinges on the Common Admission Test (CAT) score, held annually in November, which includes sections on Verbal Ability, Logical Reasoning, and Quantitative Aptitude. General category candidates generally need a minimum CAT percentile of around 92-94 for eligibility, with sectional cut-offs. The application process is independent of CAP and typically starts post-CAT results in January.

Candidates submit an online form and are shortlisted based on a composite score calculated from CAT percentile, academic performance, work experience, and diversity factors. Shortlisted candidates participate in a Personal Interview (PI), which carries significant weight. Reservation policies align with government norms, providing certain benefits in cut-offs and application fees. Selection is finalized through a merit list that incorporates CAT scores, PI performance, and other relevant criteria. The process is structured but could benefit from increased transparency in timelines and communication.
