What is the minimum CAT percentile required for IIM Udaipur MBA?

As per the 2026-28 batch shortlist criteria (reference for 2027-29 cycle), General category candidates need a minimum CAT overall percentile of 94 with at least 75 percentile in each section (VRC, DILR, QA). NC-OBC and EWS require 81 overall. SC requires 66. ST and PwD require 42. IIM Udaipur will publish updated 2027-29 cutoffs after CAT 2026 results.

Is work experience mandatory for IIM Udaipur MBA?

Work experience is not mandatory for the Two-Year MBA at IIM Udaipur. Freshers are eligible. However, work experience adds weight to the Profile component (20% of the composite score), so candidates with work experience have an advantage at the shortlisting stage.

Does IIM Udaipur participate in IIM Common Admission Process (CAP)?

No. IIM Udaipur does not participate in IIM CAP. It runs its own independent shortlisting and Personal Interview process. Candidates shortlisted by IIM Udaipur must apply and appear separately on the IIM Udaipur admissions portal.

What is the total fee for MBA at IIM Udaipur 2027?

As per fee data for the current batch, Year 1 total fee is INR 11,92,508 and Year 2 is INR 10,58,750, making the total programme fee approximately INR 22,51,258. Fees are subject to revision for the 2027-29 batch. Contact admissions@iimu.ac.in for confirmed figures.

What exam does IIM Udaipur use for EMBA admission?

IIM Udaipur EMBA accepts GMAT, GRE, or CAT scores from 2022 or later. Candidates who do not hold any of these scores can appear for the IIMU Test, which is an online test of 120 questions in 120 minutes. The IIMU Test covers Verbal Ability, Logical Reasoning, and Quantitative Ability.

Is there any entrance exam for the IIM Udaipur BBA programme?

No. The BBA at IIM Udaipur does not require any entrance exam or minimum percentage. Any Class XII student from a recognised board is eligible. Admission is through document verification after applying online at bba.iimu.ac.in.

How many seats are available in the IIM Udaipur MBA programme?

The 2026-28 batch has 375 seats. The same intake is expected for the 2027-29 batch. IIM Udaipur will confirm the seat count when it publishes the 2027-29 admission policy after CAT 2026 results.

What is the selection process for IIM Udaipur MBA?

The process has two stages. First, IIM Udaipur shortlists candidates based on CAT score and academic profile. Second, shortlisted candidates appear for a Personal Interview at Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai, or the campus. The final merit uses: Normalized CAT 55%, PI 25%, Profile 20%.

What is the minimum work experience for IIM Udaipur EMBA?

Candidates need a minimum of 36 months of full-time post-graduation work experience as of May 20, 2027. This is a mandatory requirement for EMBA admission. The Two-Year MBA has no work experience requirement.

How does the IIMU Research Aptitude Test differ from CAT or GMAT for doctoral admission?

The Research Aptitude Test is IIMUs proprietary doctoral screening tool that tests analytical reasoning and research potential, not managerial aptitude. You can qualify for the FPM through the RAT or a valid CAT, GMAT, GRE, or NET-JRF score. Applicants without a recent CAT often prefer the RAT because its schedule aligns with IIMUs intake cycles, making it the most accessible entry route for dedicated research aspirants.

Can a candidate with only a four-year Bachelors degree apply without a Masters degree?

Yes. IIMU allows candidates with a four-year or eight-semester Bachelors degree and a minimum CGPA of 6.5 on a 10-point scale to apply directly without a Masters degree. This benefits engineering graduates with a strong BTech CGPA. Holders of a three-year Bachelors degree require a Masters with at least 55%. CA, ICWA, or CS qualification combined with a Bachelors degree also qualifies.

What is the international immersion component and who gets selected for it?

Selected FPM scholars receive a fully funded four-month stay at a partner university abroad, covering travel and accommodation. The immersion occurs after the coursework phase ends. Selection is competitive and not guaranteed for all enrolled scholars. This component sets the IIMU FPM apart from similarly ranked IIM doctoral programmes that do not fund an extended international residential stay.

How does the three-tier stipend structure work across the five years of the FPM?

Years 1 and 2 carry a stipend of INR 37,000 per month during coursework. After passing the Comprehensive Examination it rises to INR 40,000, and after the proposal defense to INR 44,000 until thesis submission. IIMU also provides a one-time laptop allowance of INR 50,000, an annual contingency grant of INR 25,000, a national conference grant of INR 20,000 per year, and an international conference grant of INR 2,00,000 across four years.

Does the IIMU FPM run through CAP like the PGP?

No. The FPM runs on an entirely independent admission cycle with no connection to the Common Admission Process used for PGP seats. IIMU exited CAP from 2026 and manages all programmes through its own rounds. There are multiple FPM intake cycles per year (Cycle 1, 2, and 3), each with its own application window, RAT date, and interview schedule, governed entirely by IIMUs internal academic calendar.

Counsellor's advice

Test score by area: Finance and Marketing need CAT, GMAT, GRE or NET. OBHRM needs CAT, GMAT or GRE. Decision Sciences and Operations need none.

Final-year students: You can apply, and you send the final mark sheet by 30 Dec of the year you apply.

Ph.D Admission Process▾

Pick one area: You apply to one of the five areas. A second form cancels the first, and the area cannot change after you join.

Fill the form: It opens in November and costs nothing. Add your statement of purpose and your letters.

EDITOR'S NOTE

The institute publishes no cutoff or seat count, so these verdicts only say whether you can apply. A five-year integrated master's counts as a master's. Your statement of purpose and letters decide the shortlist, so write them for one area.

FAQs on IIM Udaipur Ph.D

Short answers to what students ask before they apply.

Is the Ph.D fee the same for every area at IIM Udaipur?▾

Yes. Tuition is waived in all five areas for all five years. The only payment is the INR 25,000 offer acceptance amount, and it comes back after you join. Meals are paid to the mess vendor.

How much stipend does a Ph.D scholar get here?▾

INR 50,000 a month in years 1 and 2, and INR 55,000 a month after you pass the comprehensive exam, for up to 60 months. You also get INR 25,000 a year for books and research material and up to INR 1 Lakh once for a laptop.

Which areas can I apply to without CAT or GMAT?▾

Can I apply to two areas or change my area later?▾

No. You apply to one area, and a second form cancels the first. Once you are admitted, you cannot change your area, so read the faculty pages of your area before you apply.

Do I get a hostel room in the first year?▾

Only if a room is free. Women get rooms first, then students in the order they accept the offer. If you live off campus in year 1, you get INR 10,000 a month on a rent receipt. From year 2, everyone gets a campus room.

Can I take a paid job during the Ph.D?▾

No paid work is allowed before you pass the comprehensive exam. After it, you may take up to 20 hours a week of work in your field, with approval from your thesis chair and the Ph.D chair.

What jobs do IIM Udaipur Ph.D graduates get?▾

Most go into teaching and research at business schools. The institute publishes no pay figure for the Ph.D, and graduates usually apply to schools on their own. Schools that need faculty also write to the Ph.D office.

Do I get the INR 25,000 back if I do not join?▾

No. The offer acceptance amount comes back only after you join. If you accept the offer and then do not join, the institute keeps it.
