I got into irma through cat . My category was obc and cut off for the same was 70 percentile at my time . In recent year it has been changed. The admission process is smooth, first there was a written test followed by interview and then they announced the results. The late replies or query solving was one thing I didn't liked about whole process.

I took a basic degree as there is no criteria for degree. Any basic degree is enough to appear for the exam. After the UG completion the common entrance exm for any MBA college is CAT. So you can write your CAT exam during your final year or after which will happen in november of every year. After 1 month the results will be announced. For my college i,..e IRMA they will accept three exams score. either you can write CAT XAT or CMAT. but before getting results you should apply to IRMA throuugh their official website. After that depending on you score which should be more than or equal to cutoff you will be called for further process. During my time the Cutoff for OBC is 70 percentile and there is no sectional cutoff. if you have score morethan or equal to cutoff you will be called for WAT and after than PI. So as i mentioned there is no corse eligibiluty criteria, the application fee is Rs. 2000 and you can find it in the official website.Every year the exam will happen only once.
