Applicants who already hold a valid CAT/GMAT/GRE score (taken in June 2021 or later) can apply directly. Those without a valid score must appear for the IIM Mumbai Admission Test (IMAT) , scheduled for November 22, 2026 . IMAT is based on the CAT exam pattern
Programme Fees and Payment Options
The total programme fee is ₹15 lakh if paid through annual instalments, or ₹16 lakh if paid module-wise . The difference reflects the flexibility of smaller, more frequent payments.
Note: IIM Mumbai does not provide scholarships or financial aid for this programme. Applicants should plan funding through savings or education loans.
Critical Caveat: No Placement Assistance
IIM Mumbai explicitly states that the MBA-BPGP does not provide job placement assistance through its Career and Development Services team . This is a material consideration for professionals evaluating the programme's return on investment. Graduates rely on the IIM alumni network and their own efforts for career advancement.
