Admission to the MBA, MBA-DBM and MBA-HHM programmes for the 2026-28 batch runs through CAT scores followed by the Common Admission Process (CAP), conducted jointly with IIM Jammu and IIM Sirmaur; candidates are shortlisted for a Personal Interview based on minimum overall and sectional CAT percentile cut-offs, with final selection combining the CAT score, PI performance, academic profile, work experience and diversity factors. Eligibility requires a Bachelor's degree (any discipline) with at least 50% marks (45% for SC/ST/PwD). The IPM programme instead uses JIPMAT (Joint Integrated Programme in Management Admission Test), conducted by the NTA jointly for IIM Bodh Gaya and IIM Jammu, with a merit list based on JIPMAT score and academic/diversity considerations and no separate GD/PI round; eligibility requires at least 60% marks in both Class X and XII (55% for SC/ST/PwD). The Executive MBA accepts CAT/GMAT/GRE scores or the institute's own entrance test, requires at least 3 years of full-time work experience after graduation, and is followed by a Personal Interview.
