BIMTECH Admission Process

PGDM Admission

BIMTECH PGDM admissions follow a three-stage process: shortlisting based on entrance exam score, followed by a Written Ability Test and Group Discussion, then a Personal Interview. Final selection weighs multiple components beyond test percentile alone.

• Eligibility: Bachelor’s degree (any discipline) with at least 50% marks (45% for SC/ST/PwD)
• Valid CAT or GMAT score is mandatory. BIMTECH accepts valid scores from CAT, XAT, CMAT, GMAT, and MAT for different programme specialisations
• Shortlisting: Based on entrance exam score, academic record, and diversity profile
• Selection rounds: Written Ability Test, Group Discussion, and Personal Interview at BIMTECH campus
• Final merit: Combined score on entrance percentile, academics (10th, 12th, graduation), GD-PI performance, work experience, and diversity

The CAT cutoff for PGDM (Core) general category applicants has historically been in the 85 to 95 percentile range. Specialised PGDM programmes (Insurance, International Business, Retail) have lower cutoffs in the 70 to 85 percentile range. Section-wise minimum percentiles in each CAT section are also evaluated at shortlisting.

FPM Admission

FPM (Fellow Programme in Management) is BIMTECH’s doctoral programme. Candidates with a postgraduate degree in management or related fields are eligible. Admission requires a valid UGC-NET/JRF score or equivalent research aptitude test. The Executive FPM targets working professionals with at least 5 years of relevant experience.

BIMTECH Placements

BIMTECH placements are conducted through the Centre for Career Development. The highest domestic placement offer stands at INR 22 LPA, as reported on the official placement portal. Over 80 companies participate in campus recruitment each year across sectors including consulting, IT, FMCG, insurance, retail, and banking.

The PGDM Insurance Business Management programme sees strong participation from insurance companies including Life Insurance Corporation of India, major private insurers, and insurance broking firms. PGDM International Business graduates are recruited by export houses, logistics companies, and MNCs with global operations. PGDM Retail Management graduates are placed in retail chains, e-commerce platforms, and consumer goods companies.

BIMTECH Rankings

BIMTECH is ranked 61st under NIRF Management 2025. The institute also holds AACSB accreditation, a globally recognised quality standard held by fewer than 7% of business schools worldwide. This dual validation of NIRF ranking and AACSB accreditation makes BIMTECH one of the few AACSB-accredited B-schools in the INR 15 to 17 Lakhs PGDM fee range.

BIMTECH Campus and Infrastructure

BIMTECH’s fully residential campus is located at Knowledge Park II, Greater Noida, within the National Capital Region. The campus is designed for immersive, residential management education, with hostels for boys and girls at an annual fee of up to INR 1.56 Lakhs.

Campus facilities include air-conditioned classrooms, an auditorium, case study rooms, computer labs, a central library with management journals and digital resources, a gymnasium, and sports courts. Industry expert lectures, management festivals, and national case competitions are regularly hosted on campus.

BIMTECH’s Centre for International Relations manages student and faculty exchange programmes with partner institutions abroad, supporting the PGDM International Business programme’s global exposure component.

BIMTECH vs FORE School of Management vs IMI New Delhi

Candidates shortlisted at BIMTECH typically hold offers from FORE School of Management (New Delhi) and IMI New Delhi as well. All three are NCR-based private B-schools with AICTE-approved PGDM programmes in the INR 14 to 20 Lakhs total fee band and CAT cutoffs in the 80 to 95 percentile range.

IMI New Delhi holds a significantly higher NIRF rank and is generally considered the stronger campus placement brand in the NCR. FORE School is closer to central Delhi, advantaging candidates who prefer a city campus. BIMTECH’s AACSB accreditation and specialised Insurance and International Business programmes make it a strong choice for candidates targeting those specific sectors at a comparatively lower total fee.
