📋 Admission Status: Admissions expected to open in September 2026 (Tentative) for the 2027-29 batch.
Key Points
- PGDM students select a Major specialisation from Finance, Information Management, Marketing, or Operations, along with a Minor specialisation from a different functional area during the second year.
- PGDM (BM) is designed as a general management programme without a mandatory functional specialisation. It is suited for candidates interested in cross-functional leadership roles, business management, entrepreneurship, and family business leadership.
- The second year offers opportunities such as the Global Fast Track with partner institutions abroad and a structured corporate internship, depending on eligibility and programme requirements.
- Admission requires a valid CAT or GMAT score. For domestic applicants, the minimum qualifying CAT cutoff is 85 percentile overall with 75 percentile in each section.
