Candidates first submit an online application with the required documents and pay the non-refundable application fee of Rs. 1,500 for General, NC-OBC and EWS candidates or Rs. 750 for SC, ST and PwD candidates. They are then shortlisted on the basis of CAT-2025 or GMAT score, marks in Class X, Class XII and graduation, work experience, discipline diversity and gender diversity, and finally appear for an online Personal Interview. Eligibility requires a full-time bachelor's degree with at least 50 percent marks, 47 percent for NC-OBC and EWS, and 45 percent for SC, ST and PwD, along with a valid CAT-2025 score or a GMAT score taken on or after 1 May 2024.

For fee payment, the 2026-28 MBA and MBA (Analytics) schedule lists term-wise due dates, with the admission fee of Rs. 25,000 and caution deposit of Rs. 9,000 payable in Term I. Under the refund rules, a withdrawal before the start of orientation and induction sessions leads to a refund of the entire fee after deducting a processing fee of Rs. 1,000, whereas a withdrawal on or after that date results in refund of only the caution money; the application fee is never refunded.
