IIM Ahmedabad Announces MBA Admissions For 2024-2026: Here’s What You Need To Know

The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad has provided details about the admission process for its prestigious two-year full-time MBA programme. The process involves the Common Admission Test (CAT) for domestic candidates and the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) for overseas Indian applicants and foreign nationals. Following the tests, candidates will also need to complete an analytical writing test and attend personal interviews, according to a Hindustan Times report.

Eligibility Criteria

Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree with at least 50 per cent marks (45 per cent for SC, ST, and PwD candidates) or its equivalent grade. The bachelor's degree course should last for three years, completed after higher secondary schooling. Candidates who are in their final year of study or awaiting results are also eligible to apply. Such candidates must submit a certificate from the head of their current institution confirming their status, along with their latest grades. If selected, they will be given provisional admission until they submit their degree certificates and mark sheets.
