About IIM Udaipur

Established in 2011, IIM Udaipur has rapidly emerged as a leading B-school in India, known for its commitment to academic rigor, international exposure, and cutting-edge research. The institute is accredited by AACSB and has consistently ranked among the top IIMs in the country.

MBA Admissions: CAT Scores and Profile-Based Selection

Admission to IIM Udaipur’s two-year MBA program will continue to be based on scores from the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2024. Candidates must first register for CAT and apply to IIM Udaipur through the same portal.

Shortlisted applicants will be invited for a personal interview through the Common Admission Process (CAP), held online in three phases between February 15 and March 2, 2025. Final selections will be made by evaluating CAT scores (60% weight), personal interview (15%), academic background (up to 10%), work experience (10%), and diversity (6%).

The final merit list is scheduled for release on May 10, 2025, with multiple offer rounds to follow through late June.

Specialized MBAs: GSCM and DEM Programs

IIM Udaipur also offers two unique one-year MBAs in Global Supply Chain Management (GSCM) and Digital Enterprise Management (DEM). These programs cater to professionals with a minimum of three years of experience. Applications will be accepted over five cycles from August 1, 2024, to January 31, 2025.

Unlike the flagship MBA, candidates can apply with CAT, GMAT, or GRE scores. Shortlisted applicants will face interviews, with final admissions based on their professional and academic profile, test scores, and interview performance.

PGDBA-WE and EMBA: Executive Programs for Working Professionals

For professionals aiming to upskill without pausing their careers, IIM Udaipur offers the Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administration for Working Executives (PGDBA-WE) and the Executive MBA (EMBA).

Both programs consider CAT, GMAT, GRE, or IIMU Test scores. Notably, applicants without standard test scores can take the IIMU Test, conducted in multiple cycles between January and April 2025. Program inauguration is scheduled for May 27, 2025 for PGDBA-WE and May 18, 2025 for EMBA.

PhD Admissions: Focused on Research Excellence

Aspiring scholars can apply to IIM Udaipur’s PhD program in areas such as Marketing, OB-HRM, Decision Sciences, Finance, and Operations. Applications open November 10, 2024, with the deadline on February 9, 2025. Shortlisted candidates will undergo a Research Aptitude Test (RAT), interviews, and model critiques depending on the specialization.

The final selection will factor in candidates’ SOPs, academic performance, and research potential. Program commencement is expected in mid-2025.

How to Apply

Prospective candidates must apply online through IIM Udaipur’s official website. While the flagship MBA applications are routed through the CAT portal, other program applications are hosted directly on IIM Udaipur’s website.

Program Fees

The fee for IIM Udaipur’s flagship two-year MBA program is INR 21.20 lakh, which includes tuition, hostel, and academic expenses. Application fees for other programs, such as MBA-DEM and EMBA, stand at INR 1,000.

With its unwavering commitment to academic excellence, global relevance, and industry integration, IIM Udaipur continues to shape future-ready leaders.
