IIT Guwahati MBA Admission 2026: Selection Process

The MBA is offered by the School of Business, IIT Guwahati, and admissions will be conducted through a structured two-stage selection process, based primarily on CAT performance, candidate profile, and personal interview.

To be considered for admission, candidates must first meet the minimum eligibility criteria. Applicants are required to have a valid CAT score, with a minimum of 65% marks in Class 10, Class 12, and Bachelor’s degree examinations. Additionally, candidates must secure at least a 60 percentile in the QA section of CAT. Only those fulfilling all eligibility conditions will be considered for Stage 1 of the selection process.

Stage 1: Shortlisting of Candidates

Stage 1 involves shortlisting candidates based on a composite score derived from three parameters. CAT performance carries the highest weightage of 80%, followed by 10% for gender diversity, which is awarded to non-male candidates, and 10% for relevant work experience.

Work experience is calculated based on the number of months completed after the bachelor’s degree and must be with an organisation registered under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Candidates with more than 48 months of experience receive no marks under this component. In case of a tie at this stage, preference is given first to candidates with a higher CAT percentile, and then to older candidates.

Stage 2: Final Selection

Candidates shortlisted from Stage 1 will be invited to Stage 2, which consists of a personal online interview. Final selection will be based on a new composite score, where CAT performance carries 60% weightage and interview performance accounts for 40%. Tie-breaking rules at this stage remain the same, with higher CAT percentile and age used as deciding factors.

Seat Intake and Application Fee 2026

For the 2026 intake, the total approved seat intake for the MBA programme stands at 30 seats. The category-wise seat distribution includes 12 seats for Open Merit candidates, 3 for GEN-EWS, 8 for OBC-NCL, 5 for SC, and 2 for ST candidates, as per prevailing reservation norms.

The application and processing fee has been set at ₹800 for all female, transgender, SC, ST, and PwD candidates, while candidates from all other categories are required to pay ₹1,600.
