IIM Lucknow Noida Admission FAQs

Short answers to what students ask before they apply.

Does an internship count toward the 24 months for MBA-SM?▾
No. IIM Lucknow counts only full time work after your degree. Internships, training and part time jobs are left out, so check your months before you apply.
How are my work months counted if I changed jobs?▾
Your days across all employers are added up, and every 30 days make one month. So a gap between jobs does not count, but short stints do add up for you.
Which work papers should I keep ready for MBA-SM?▾
Keep your experience certificate, appointment or relieving letter, first and last pay slips and a bank statement. IIM Lucknow checks your work against these at the interview, so carry originals.
How many people made the MBA-SM interview list last year?▾
1,900 people were shortlisted for the MBA-SM WAT and interview. Of them, 819 were in the General category. That is a lot of people for a batch of 35, so prepare well for the interview.
What composite score did General students need for an MBA-SM call last year?▾
The lowest General score that got a call was 38.94 out of 100. For EWS it was 20.09, and for NC-OBC it was 17.79. Your own score depends on CAT, marks, work and diversity.
Do women get extra marks at IIM Lucknow?▾
Yes. Women get 5 marks out of 100 in the shortlist score. In the final merit list, diversity as a whole is worth 5 marks, so you still need a strong interview.
Does a non engineering degree help me for MBA-SM?▾
Yes. A non engineering bachelor's degree gives you 5 marks out of 100 in the shortlist score. Engineers get 0 for this part.
How are my Class 12 marks scored for the shortlist?▾
IIM Lucknow compares your Class 12 marks with five years of CAT applicants from your board and stream. Only a percentile above 80 earns marks, up to 10. So strong school marks help you.
Can I apply to MBA-SM and the main Lucknow MBA together?▾
Yes. You can show interest in both through your CAT form. For MBA-SM you must also file the Special MBA-SM form, or you will not be called for it.
Can I use a CAT score for IPMX?▾
No. IPMX asks for a GMAT or GRE score from a test centre. If you only have CAT, look at MBA-WE, which accepts CAT 2024 or 2025.
Which IPMX phase should I apply in?▾
Apply in the earliest phase in which you have your best score and both referee letters ready. Phase 3, closing on 20 Jan 2027, is the last chance for this batch.
What do I lose if I leave IPMX after paying?▾
If you withdraw by the date IIM Lucknow announces, INR 30,000 is kept as a processing fee. After classes start, you get nothing back. So be sure before you pay.
Is there a trip abroad in IPMX?▾
Yes. IPMX includes a three week international immersion in Term 3. Ask the admissions office what your batch pays for it.
Does IIM Lucknow arrange a loan for IPMX?▾
IIM Lucknow does not process loans itself. State Bank of India offers a loan for the programme, so you can apply there with your offer letter.
Can I keep my job during MBA-WE?▾
Yes. Classes fall on alternate weekends, with seven campus visits in each term of three months. You keep working through the week, so agree your Friday leave with your employer early.
Is there a hostel room for MBA-WE students?▾
Only case by case, if a room is free, and you pay for it. Do not count on it; plan your stay in Noida for the weekends.
What does the MBA-WE entrance exam test?▾
You write it on paper at the Noida campus, in two hours, with 100 questions. It has three parts: reading and verbal ability, data and logic puzzles, and maths. Practise with old CAT papers, since the parts match.
Can I use my CAT 2023 score for MBA-WE?▾
No. Only CAT 2024 or CAT 2025 scores work for the 2027 batch. GATE must be from 2025 or 2026. If your score is older, take the Noida entrance exam.
How long can I take to finish MBA-WE?▾
The normal length is two years in seven terms. If attendance or grades slow you down, you get up to four years.
Can I push my MBA-WE seat to next year?▾
Only in very rare cases. IIM Lucknow allows a deferment only in exceptional situations, so join with your batch if you can.
Does the MBA-SM fee cover the trip abroad?▾
No. The international trip in year two costs you extra; the fee sheet puts it at INR 4 Lakhs. An AC room is INR 3,500 a month more, and mess bills are paid as used.
Do sponsored employees get reserved MBA-WE seats?▾
No. IIM Lucknow welcomes company sponsorship, but it keeps no seats aside for sponsored students. You compete on the same merit list.
Someone is offering me an IIM Lucknow seat for money. Is it real?▾
No. You get a seat only through the institute's own forms, tests and interviews. Do not pay any agent, and report such calls to the admissions office.
Where exactly is the Noida campus?▾
You will find it at B-1, Sector 62, Institutional Area, Noida 201307, Uttar Pradesh. The 20 acre campus has hostels, a library and a computer centre.
Whom do I call about Noida admissions?▾
Call +91 120 6678481 or 6678507, or write to admission_nc@iiml.ac.in. Keep your application number ready when you call.
Are the Lucknow and Noida campuses one institute?▾
Yes. Both belong to IIM Lucknow, and your degree or certificate comes from IIM Lucknow. Check the campus name on your offer before you move.

IIM Lucknow Noida Admission FAQs

Short answers to what students ask before they apply.

Can I join the EFPM if I teach at a college?▾
Yes. EFPM is built for executives, teachers and researchers. You still need 7 years of work and a full time job when you apply.
Who can skip the first year of the EFPM?▾
You can, if you hold a two year MBA or PGDM with at least 6.0 CGPA. It must be from a top 15 NIRF management school or an AACSB, AMBA or EQUIS school.
What is in the EFPM entrance exam?▾
You answer 100 questions in two hours at the Noida campus. The paper has three parts, VARC, DILR and QA, in the same style as CAT. Old CAT papers are good practice for you.
Can a UGC NET JRF let me skip the entrance exam?▾
Yes. A JRF or SRF from UGC, CSIR or ICAR is accepted in place of the exam. Upload the letter with your form.
Which research areas can I choose in the EFPM?▾
You can pick from eleven: Agribusiness, Economics and Business Environment, Business Sustainability, Business Communication, Decision Sciences, Finance and Accounting, HR, IT and Systems, Marketing, Operations and Supply Chain, and Strategy.
Where will my EFPM interview be held?▾
At the Lucknow campus or the Noida campus. Your call letter tells you which one, so plan your travel after it comes.
How often must I come to campus in the second year?▾
You make three visits of 9 days each to Noida or Lucknow. Plan your leave from work early.
How is the first year of the EFPM taught?▾
You study with the blended MBA batch, partly online and partly on campus at Lucknow. This lets you keep working.
Is there a fixed number of EFPM seats?▾
No. IIM Lucknow fixes no batch size and takes as many suitable people as it finds. You should focus on a strong research idea, not on the count.
Does the EFPM pay a stipend?▾
No. EFPM is for people in full time jobs, so no scholarship or stipend is paid. You keep your salary.
What is the longest I can take to finish the EFPM?▾
You get up to 7 years with an extension. Most students finish in five years, or four if they skipped year one.
What happens to my money if I withdraw after selection?▾
If you withdraw by the announced date, INR 5,000 is kept and the rest comes back to you. Payments after you enrol are not returned.
When are the yearly EFPM payments due?▾
Each yearly payment of INR 1.25 Lakhs is due in June, from June 2028. Keep your money aside for each June.
Do I need a caste certificate for the EFPM?▾
Yes, if you claim SC, ST or OBC. Upload a valid certificate with your form, or your claim is not counted.
My engineering degree has 62%. Can I apply?▾
Not on the engineering rule, which asks for 65%, or 60% for SC and ST. Check with the admissions office whether your master's changes this for you.
Can a chartered accountant apply for the EFPM?▾
Yes. If you hold a CA, ICWA or CS, you need 55% in the final, with 50% in B.Com, or 5% less for SC and ST.
Is a GMAT taken at home accepted for the EFPM?▾
No. Only GMAT or GRE scores from a test centre are accepted. If you only have a home test score, take the IIM Lucknow entrance exam instead.
Whom do I write to about the EFPM?▾
You can write to efpmoffice@iiml.ac.in or call +91 120 6678408. For general Noida admission questions, call +91 120 6678481.
What degree will I get after the EFPM?▾
You get a Ph.D from IIM Lucknow once you finish the course work and your thesis. It is a part time doctoral degree.
Can I change my research area after joining?▾
Pick your area with care, because the area committee shortlists you for that area. Talk to the EFPM office before you ask for any change.
Do I need a research proposal to apply?▾
A clear research interest helps, since the area committee checks your form. Carry a short note on your topic to the interview.
Someone is offering me an IIM Lucknow seat for money. Is it real?▾
No. You get a seat only through the institute's own forms, tests and interviews. Do not pay any agent, and report such calls to the admissions office.

IIM Lucknow Noida Admission FAQs

Short answers to what students ask before they apply.

Who can join an open programme at the Noida campus?▾
Working executives join these programmes, usually sent by their company. If your company wants a programme for its own staff, ask for a customised one.
How early must my nomination reach IIM Lucknow?▾
Your form and fee must reach the MDP office at least 14 days before the start. Send it sooner and you get a better discount.
Is there an early bird discount?▾
Yes. You get 10% off if your nomination reaches 30 days before the start, and 5% off at 14 days.
Does my company get a group discount?▾
Yes. If five or more people come from one company, each of you gets 10% off.
What if my company cancels my seat?▾
You get half the fee back if the cancellation reaches IIM Lucknow at least 10 days before the start. After that, ask the MDP office.
Is GST extra on the programme fee?▾
Yes. The fees on the calendar do not include GST, so add it when you budget.
What is the difference between residential and non residential?▾
Residential means you stay on the Noida campus and costs INR 77,000 for a three day programme. Non residential costs INR 59,000, and you travel in each day.
How long do open programmes last?▾
Most last three days to a week, so you miss little work. The long executive programmes take 10 to 11 months.
Which long executive programmes are offered?▾
You can look at the Advanced Programme in Human Resources, the Executive Programme in Healthcare Management and the CEO Programme. Each has its own fee plus GST.
Can my company run a programme only for our team?▾
Yes. Customised programmes are built for working executives from one company or a group of companies. Your HR team can write to the MDP office.
Is there an entrance test for open programmes?▾
No. You join through your company's nomination and the fee, with no test.
Which programmes cover sustainability?▾

Whom do I contact about open programmes?▾
Write to mdpoffice@iiml.ac.in or call +91 522 6696282. The office answers questions on dates, fees and nominations for you.
Is an open programme the same as an MBA?▾
No. These short programmes do not give you a degree. For an MBA while working, look at IPMX or MBA-WE at the same campus.
Is the stay included in the residential fee?▾
Yes. The residential fee includes your stay on the Noida campus during the programme. The non residential fee does not.
Which open programme starts first this season?▾
AI Enabled Product Management and Marketing, from 9 to 11 Oct 2026. Send your nomination at once if you want a seat.
Can I attend two January programmes back to back?▾
Not HR Analytics and Managing Change Negotiations, because both use 18 Jan 2027. You can pair the ESG programme with either one, since it ends on 15 Jan.
Someone is offering me an IIM Lucknow seat for money. Is it real?▾
