IIM Jammu Course Admission 2026: Dates, Fees, Eligibility, Application Process, Selection Criteria

To gain admission to IIM Jammu's MBA program in Hospital Administration and Healthcare Management, candidates must appear for the Common Admission Test (CAT), which is essential for all IIMs. Eligibility requires a minimum of 50% in a bachelor’s degree. CAT applications are available between August and mid-September, with a fee of approximately ?2400. The test, conducted annually in November, consists of three slots and varies in difficulty each year. Reserved categories, including SC, ST, OBC, EWS, and PWD, benefit from relaxed percentile requirements; for instance, the SC cutoff for each section is 35 percentile, whereas the EWS category cutoff was 90 percentile.

Post-CAT, qualifying candidates participate in the Common Admission Process (CAP), involving group discussions (GD) and personal interviews (PI) for selection among nine IIMs. Final selection considers both CAT scores and interview performance, with acceptance notifications provided via email. CAP interviews are typically conducted online and may include questions on education, current affairs, and situational analysis. IIM Jammu adheres to a semester system with six semesters in total, including mid-term and end-term exams.

The offer acceptance process mandates quick decision-making and payment. JIPMAT, another admission route, sets a separate criterion, focusing on JIPMAT scores and gender diversity, with cutoffs for general male students typically around 330+/400.
