Which MBA specialisation should you pick at IIM Amritsar?

Specialisation

MBA-BAMBAMBA-HR

MBA in Business Analytics (MBA-BA)

Same fee, INR 19.50 Lakhs. Same CAT floor, 90 percentile for General. Pay is published for the whole batch only.

Pick it if:

You want analytics or data roles after the MBA: the 2026 report lists analytics as a main role, and Tiger Analytics, Arcesium and Moody's hired from this campus.

You like code and numbers: the course teaches machine learning, data mining, visualisation and programming on top of the core MBA subjects.

You have work experience: this programme gives work experience 15% of the post-interview score, more than the 10% in the other two.

Skip it if:

Your CAT is only just over the floor: this programme gives CAT 50% of the pre-interview score, so a thin percentile has less room than in MBA-HR.

You expect a separate pay figure for analytics: the institute publishes one median for the whole MBA batch, not one for this programme.

Open the full MBA in Business Analytics (MBA-BA) page

MBA in General Management (MBA)

Same fee, INR 19.50 Lakhs. Same CAT floor, 90 percentile for General. The flagship programme.

Pick it if:

You want finance, sales or general management jobs: banks and finance firms took 38% of offers in the 2024 final placements, the biggest share of any sector.

You are not sure of your line yet: this is the general management programme, with the widest mix of subjects of the three.

You want the largest batch and alumni base: the general MBA is the flagship here and has taken students since the institute opened in 2015.

Skip it if:

You want a softer CAT weight: this programme gives CAT 50% of the pre-interview score, so a low percentile hurts more than in MBA-HR.

You want a specialist name on your degree: this programme is general management, while MBA-BA and MBA-HR carry analytics or HR in the programme name itself.

Open the full MBA in General Management (MBA) page

MBA in Human Resource Management (MBA-HR)

Same fee, INR 19.50 Lakhs. Same CAT floor, 90 percentile for General. CAT counts 40%, not 50%.

Pick it if:

You want people and HR roles: the 2026 report lists human resource roles, and the programme covers workforce planning, labour laws and HR analytics.

Your CAT percentile is near the floor but your marks are strong: this programme gives CAT 40% of the pre-interview score and adds 10% for academic diversity.

You aim for a merit scholarship: the top CGPA in each programme wins a full year's tuition, so you compete only with your own programme for it.

Skip it if:

You want finance or consulting roles: this programme is built around HR work, from labour laws to workforce planning, so finance takes a smaller share of the course.

You expect a separate HR pay figure: the institute publishes one median for the whole MBA batch, not one for this programme.

Open the full MBA in Human Resource Management (MBA-HR) page

Counsellor's advice

If your CAT percentile clears the floor with room and you have work experience, apply to all three; each has its own merit list. If your CAT is close to the floor but your marks are strong, keep MBA-HR on your list, since it weighs CAT at 40%.

MBA Eligibility▾

Degree marks: A bachelor's degree with 50% marks. SC, ST and PwD students need 45%.

Final-year students: You can apply. Finish every exam by 30 June of the year you join.

CAT floor, General: 90 percentile overall, and 80, 75 and 80 in the three sections.

Other categories: OBC-NCL needs 80 overall, SC 55, and ST and PwD 40.

Same rule, every specialisation: MBA, MBA-BA and MBA-HR use the same marks rule and the same CAT floors.

MBA Admission Process▾

Write CAT: CAT 2026 is on 29 Nov 2026. You need a score above zero in every section.

Fill the IIM Amritsar form: List the programmes you want. Each programme ranks its own students.

Get the interview call: The call comes on a score where CAT counts 50% and your marks, work and diversity count the rest.

Face the interview: The interview is 70% of the post-interview score. The final score is 70% pre-interview, 30% post-interview.

Accept and report: Pay INR 1,00,000 by the offer date, then report in June with your papers.

Placement insights

Banks and finance firms hire the most here: they took 38% of offers in 2024, and Kotak and EY appear in each of the last three reports.

The report gives averages only for the top 20% or top half of the batch, so the NIRF median is the fairer guide for a typical student.

The median fell from INR 15.6 LPA for the Class of 2024 to INR 12.29 LPA for the Class of 2025, while the batch grew from 278 to 318.

For the Class of 2026 the top offer rose to INR 43 LPA, and the top half of its 256 students averaged INR 16.3 LPA.

Good to know

The Class of 2025 had 318 students; 60% were freshers and the average work experience was 28 months.

Every student does a summer internship between year 1 and year 2.

Pay figures are the first year's cost to company, before tax.

Eight students of the Class of 2025 chose higher studies over a job.

In short

IIM Sirmaur's fee, for the 2025 to 2027 batch, is INR 50,000 more, but its median was INR 1.91 LPA higher and it ranks 13 places higher. If both offer you a seat, Sirmaur has the stronger recent pay.

In short

IIM Jammu costs INR 3.31 Lakhs more, but its median was INR 3.51 LPA higher, it placed every graduate and it ranks 29 places higher. If both offer you a seat, Jammu's numbers are stronger.

In short

How do I get into the MBA at IIM Amritsar?▾

Write CAT and clear the overall and section floors for your category. The institute calls you for an interview on a score where CAT counts 50%. Your final score is 70% that score and 30% the interview stage. Accept the offer by paying INR 1,00,000.

Is the fee the same for every specialisation?▾

Yes. MBA, MBA-BA and MBA-HR all cost INR 19.50 Lakhs for two years, hostel included. The mess deposit adds INR 1.50 Lakhs, and the INR 50,000 caution deposit comes back at the end.

What CAT percentile do I need?▾

For General, 90 overall and 80, 75 and 80 in the three sections in CAT 2025. OBC-NCL needed 80 overall, SC 55, and ST and PwD 40. These floors only get you considered; the institute does not publish the final closing percentile.

Which specialisation is easiest to get?▾

All three use the same CAT floors. MBA-HR counts CAT at 40% of the pre-interview score instead of 50%, so strong marks can make up for a lower percentile there.

Does pay differ by specialisation?▾

The institute publishes one set of figures for the whole MBA batch: a median of INR 12.29 LPA and 97% placed for the Class of 2025. Nothing is published by programme.

Is the hostel compulsory?▾

Yes. The MBA is residential, and the hostel fee of INR 60,000 a year is part of the programme fee. Mess costs about INR 10,000 a month, taken from the mess deposit.

Do I get the fee back if I withdraw?▾

If you withdraw before the first day of registration, you get back the Term 1 fee or the acceptance fee minus INR 1,000. After registration starts, the Term 1 fee is kept unless your seat is filled. Once Term 1 classes start, no Term 1 fee comes back.

Can freshers get in?▾

Yes. In the Class of 2025, 60% of the 318 students were freshers. Work experience adds points, but it is not required.
