A four-day plan
This is our suggested plan, not an official one.
| Day | Do this |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Check eligibility: a bachelor's degree with at least 50% (45% for SC, ST and PwD) and three years of relevant experience after graduation. Collect your degree certificate, marksheets, experience proof and ID |
| Day 2 | Decide your entry route: a CAT, GMAT or GRE score not older than five years, or IMAT on 22 November. Start the application form |
| Day 3 | Finish the form and pay the ₹2,500 application fee. Talk through the fee plan with family or your employer |
| Day 4 | Submit with time to spare, keep the confirmation, and begin CAT-pattern practice if you plan to sit IMAT |
Five checks before you submit
- Your name and date of birth match across every document
- Your experience can be evidenced with a letter or payslips
- Your test score, if you have one, is within five years

- For two years: classes on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, and two one-week campus immersions in January 2028 and January 2029, with travel, lodging and boarding at your cost
If you cannot make this round
