IIM Guwahati Admission Process (MBA 2026-2028 Batch)
Mentored by the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, IIMG aims to provide the best management education to prepare leaders across all sectors of business and industry, not-for-profits, government and policy, and academia. For the 2026-2028 batch at IIMG, the admission process at IIM Guwahati takes into account the candidate’s Common Admission Test (CAT-2025) performance, past academic performance in 10th, 12th and Bachelor’s degree, and work experience.
The details of stage-0, stage-1 and stage-2 of the selection process are described in this document.
Stage 0-Basic Academic Eligibility
The candidate must hold a bachelor’s degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA (in case of the candidate belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC)/Scheduled Tribe (ST)/Persons with Disabilities (PwD) category, this is relaxed to 45%), of any of the universities incorporated by an act of the central or state legislature in India or other educational institutions established by an act of Parliament or declared to be deemed as a university under section 3 of UGC Act, 1956, or possess an equivalent qualification recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India.
The bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification obtained by the candidate must entail a minimum of three years of education after completing higher secondary schooling (10+2) or equivalent. The percentage obtained by the candidate in the bachelor’s degree would be based on the practice followed by the institution/university from which the candidate has obtained the degree.In case the candidate is awarded grades/CGPA instead of marks, the equivalence will be based on the equivalence certificate issued by the institution/university from which they obtained the bachelor’s degree. If the institution/university does not have a scheme for converting the CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence will be established by IIMG by dividing the obtained CGPA by the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the result by 100.
A candidate appearing for the final year bachelor’s degree/equivalent qualification examination, and those who have completed the degree requirements and are awaiting results, can also apply. Such a candidate must produce a certificate from the Principal/Head of the Department/Registrar/Director of the Institution/University certifying that the candidate is currently in the final year/is awaiting final results and has obtained at least 50% marks or equivalent (45% in case of the candidate belonging to SC/ST/PwD category) based on latest available grades/marks. Such a candidate, if selected, will be allowed to join the programme provisionally only if they submit a certificate from the Principal/Head of the Department/Registrar/Director of the Institution/University, on or before the date of registration to the programme, stating that they have completed all the requirements (the result may, however, be awaited) for obtaining the bachelor’s degree/equivalent qualification on the date of issue of the certificate. Their admission will be confirmed only when the candidate submits the marksheet and a certificate of having passed the bachelor’s degree/equivalent qualification referred to in the certificate issued by the Principal/Head of the Department/Registrar/Director of the Institution/University with at least 50% marks (45% in case of the candidate belonging to SC/ST/PwD category). It is mandatory for a final year student, who is provisionally admitted, to submit the marksheet and degree certificate of the final year bachelor’s degree examination held on or before June 30, 2026 (including supplementaries, if any), to be eligible for admission to the Post Graduate Programme (PGP) 2026-28 Batch. The deadline for submitting the marksheet and certificate is December 31, 2026. Non-fulfilment of this condition will result in the cancellation of the provisional admission. IIMG will not allow a candidate to join its PGP in case the candidate is unable to complete all the requirements for a bachelor’s degree on or before June 30, 2026.
Basic Academic Eligibility (Stage 0) and CAT Eligibility (Stage 1) will be based on the CAT-2025 form filled out by the candidates.
