IIM Sirmaur places strong emphasis on international collaboration. The institute has announced partnerships with emlyon business school in Lyon, the International Tourism Studies Association, French universities including the University of Bordeaux and the University of Paris, and Mauritian universities for its tourism and hospitality programme.

These links give students exposure to global classrooms and cross-cultural learning alongside the core curriculum delivered at the Himachal campus.

Admission to the MBA programmes is based on a valid CAT score followed by a personal interview and a composite merit score that also considers academic record, work experience, gender diversity and professional background. The BMS programme admits students through IPMAT scores, an interview and academic performance in Classes 10 and 12. Reservations follow Government of India norms, and forty seats are reserved for female candidates in the MBA programme. Detailed eligibility and selection steps are explained on the admission process page, while recent shortlisting scores are summarised under cutoffs.
