Question 1

Which dates should I be aware of while taking admission in RVIM?

Accepted Answer

For the MBA, applications are open now and the RVIM Aptitude Test is held within two days of applying. The Group Discussion and Personal Interview run from June to September 2026. Government quota applicants should track Karnataka PGCET 2026 on June 14, 2026, with results on July 8, 2026. Admission and fee confirmation happens between August and September 2026, and classes begin in October 2026.

Question 2

What is one thing I should know before taking admission in RVIM?

Accepted Answer

Half the MBA seats are filled through the management quota using RVIMs own selection process, and the other half through the Karnataka government quota via PGCET. If you want a government quota seat, you must register for and appear in Karnataka PGCET separately, as the RVIM aptitude test alone does not cover that route.

Question 3

Is RVIM admission tough to crack?

Accepted Answer

Admission is moderately competitive. The MBA selection looks at your entrance exam score along with academics, work experience, and your GD and interview performance, so a balanced profile helps. Since no single score decides the outcome, candidates with a strong overall application often do well even without a very high entrance percentile.

Question 4

Does RVIM accept management quota admissions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. About 50 percent of MBA seats are management quota seats filled directly by RVIM using national and state MBA entrance scores along with the institutes aptitude test and interview. The remaining 50 percent are government quota seats filled through Karnataka PGCET counselling.

Question 5

Which entrance exams does RVIM accept for the MBA?

RVIM accepts CAT, CMAT, KMAT, and MAT scores for management quota seats. Karnataka PGCET scores are used for government quota seats. A valid score in any one of these accepted exams makes you eligible to apply for the MBA.

Question 6

Can I apply to RVIM if I am still in my final year of graduation?
