RIMS Indore Admission Process

RIMS Indore admission follows two tracks: a national entrance exam route for MBA and a CUET-based centralised merit route for all undergraduate programmes through DAVV Indore.

MBA and MBA Duke

Candidates must hold a graduate degree in any discipline with a minimum of 50% marks from a recognised university. Selection proceeds through three stages.

• Stage 1: Valid score in CAT, CMAT, XAT, MAT, SNAP, or the institute’s own RIMATS
• Stage 2: Group Discussion conducted at the RIMS campus
• Stage 3: Personal Interview with the admissions panel

MBA Core and MBA Duke do not publish official cutoff scores. Admission is based on a holistic review of entrance exam score, GD performance, and PI assessment. MBA Duke seats are limited and carry a higher fee to fund the international module.

BBA, BBA ILP, B.Com, B.Com Foreign Plus, and BA

All UG admissions are processed through DAVV Indore’s online counselling portal based on CUET UG scores. DAVV has replaced its own CET with CUET from the 2026-27 cycle onwards.

• Step 1: Register on the DAVV counselling portal using CUET UG credentials
• Step 2: Fill college and programme preferences
• Step 3: DAVV releases merit list and allots seats at affiliated colleges including RIMS
• Step 4: Report to RIMS with original documents and complete fee payment

Candidates with higher CUET scores and category advantages get preference in seat allotment across rounds.

M.Com and MSW

M.Com requires B.Com with a minimum of 50% marks. MSW requires any graduate degree with at least 45% marks. Admission to both programmes is through CUET PG scores or RIMS’s own entrance assessment, followed by merit ranking.
