Write CUET PG	Take paper COQP12 for the business group or COQP22 for the health courses.
Register with DAVV	Pay the counselling fee on the DAVV MP Online portal before the last date.
Fill choices	List the courses you want at IMS, best first.
Take the allotment	Check documents and pay the first semester fee on time.
Go to the second round	Leftover seats go in person; health seats go in the IMS round.

Which MBA branch should you pick at IMS DAVV?

Specialization

BusinessHospital AdministrationPublic Health

Business specializations

Three courses, 120 seats each, INR 1.77 Lakhs for 2 years without hostel.

Pick it if:

You hold a CUET PG score in paper COQP12: that one paper puts you on the merit list for all three business courses, and you rank them in choice filling.

You want the most seats at IMS: each business course takes 120 students, twice the seats of a health course.

You want a mainstream company job: the IMS recruiter list names ICICI Bank, Asian Paints and Deloitte, which hire for finance, sales and people roles.

Skip it if:

You are SC, ST, OBC or EWS from outside Madhya Pradesh: reserved seats go to state domicile students only, so you compete on the unreserved list.

You want a pay figure for one course before you choose: IMS reports one median for the whole MBA batch and nothing per course.

Hospital Administration

60 seats, INR 1.77 Lakhs for 2 years without hostel. Route: CUET PG COQP22, health degree.

Pick it if:

You hold an MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS, BPT or nursing degree: only health graduates with 50% marks can take this seat.

You want to manage a hospital, not treat patients: the course trains doctors, dentists and nurses for hospital office roles in Indore, the main medical centre of western Madhya Pradesh.

You want a health course at the lower fee: the tuition is INR 81,004 a year, the same as the business group and below Public Health.

Skip it if:

You are waiting for the second CUET PG round: this course is not in that round, and IMS fills leftover seats in its own round.

You have not finished your internship: the brochure asks for a completed internship wherever your degree needs one.

Open the full Hospital Administration page

Public Health

60 seats, INR 1.97 Lakhs for 2 years without hostel. Route: CUET PG COQP22, health degree.

Pick it if:

You want public health work over hospital desks: this course points to health programme and district roles, a smaller job market than company roles.

You have no CUET PG score: IMS can fill leftover seats on graduation marks in its own round, after CUET PG candidates.

Skip it if:

You want the lowest fee at IMS: the tuition is INR 90,580 a year, the highest of the five courses on this page.

You do not hold a health degree: graduates of other streams cannot take this seat, whatever their CUET PG score.

Open the full Public Health page

Counsellor's advice

If you hold a health degree, write both papers and list the health course you want above the business ones. If not, list every business specialization in the order you want it; the second round only offers seats left after round one.

MBA Eligibility▾

Business group: A graduation degree in any stream with at least 50% marks.

Health courses: MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS, BPT, B.Sc. Nursing or a health administration degree with 50% marks, internship done where needed.

Exam needed: A CUET PG score in the mapped paper: COQP12 for the business group, COQP22 for the health courses.

Final-year students: You can apply, but you must show the final result by the August deadline.

Reserved seats: SC, ST, OBC-NCL and EWS seats go to Madhya Pradesh domicile students only; others count as unreserved.

MBA Admission Process▾

Write CUET PG: NTA holds it once a year. Take paper COQP12, COQP22 or both.

Register with DAVV: Pay INR 1,500 plus INR 100 portal charges on the DAVV MP Online portal.

Fill your choices: List the IMS courses you want in order; DAVV allots from the merit list and that order.

Pay to keep the seat: Check documents and pay the first semester fee on time, or the seat is cancelled.

Later rounds: Leftover business seats go in the in-person second round; health seats go in the IMS round.

EDITOR'S NOTE

DAVV does not publish the merit rank at which each IMS course closed, so these verdicts follow the published rules: the paper each course reads, the 50% floor and the IMS round order. Ask the IMS office for last year's closing merit before you fill choices.

FAQs on IMS DAVV MBA

How do I get admission to the MBA at IMS DAVV?▾

Write CUET PG in the paper your course reads, then register for DAVV counselling and list the IMS courses you want in order. DAVV allots seats on its merit list. Pay the first semester fee on time to keep the seat.

Is the fee the same for every specialization?▾

Almost. Four specializations cost INR 1.77 Lakhs for two years without hostel. Public Health costs INR 1.97 Lakhs because its programme fee is higher. The fee block above shows both totals.

Can I join Hospital Administration without a medical degree?▾

No. Hospital Administration and Public Health take MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS, BPT, B.Sc. Nursing or health administration graduates with 50% marks. Other graduates should write paper COQP12 for the business group.

Does IMS take CAT or CMAT scores?▾

Not for the five courses on this page. DAVV fills them on CUET PG scores for the 2026 intake, and leftover health seats can go on graduation marks in the IMS round.

Does pay differ by specialization?▾

IMS reports one set of figures for the whole two-year MBA batch: a median of INR 5.3 LPA and 38% placed in the Class of 2024. Nothing is published per specialization.

What about MBA (E-Commerce), Full Time and Disaster Management?▾

IMS lists these too. E-Commerce takes 60 seats through the same CUET PG counselling. The 2026 DAVV brochure does not list Full Time or Disaster Management, so ask IMS before you plan on them.

Do I get the fee back if I leave?▾

If you leave before the UGC refund date, the fee comes back as per UGC rules. Leave after it and only the caution money of INR 4,000 comes back.

Can I get a hostel room?▾

Yes, if rooms are free. The university has separate hostels for boys and girls at INR 22,500 a year room rent, with mess paid on top. Apply to the Chief Warden after admission.
