IIM Sirmaur Course Admission 2027: Dates, Eligibility, Registrations, Selection Criteria

To gain admission to the MBA program at IIM Sirmaur, candidates must take the CAT (Common Admission Test), typically conducted annually in November. The application period for CAT spans from August to September, with an approximate fee of 2300 INR. Eligibility requires a bachelor's degree with at least 50% marks for general and OBC candidates and 45% for SC/ST applicants. The overall CAT cutoff for general category applicants generally ranges from 92 to 94 percentile, with sectional cutoffs typically around 75 percentile.

For candidates from reserved categories such as EWS, OBC, SC, or ST, the cutoff may be more lenient, for instance, around 77 percentile for OBC. Post-CAT results are released around January, shortlisted candidates are invited to participate in the CAP (Common Admission Process), which includes Personal Interviews (PI). The final selection evaluates CAT performance, academic scores, work experience, and PI performance. Offers are extended by May, preceding the academic year start in June.

Reservation policies adhere to Government guidelines, ensuring seats for various categories. While the admission process is generally well-structured, there are calls for enhanced transparency, specifically around waitlist positions and composite scores.
