| About Institute: | Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) are centrally funded business schools offering undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral, and executive programmes in management. Initiated by Jawaharlal Nehru based on the Planning Commission’s recommendation, IIMs were declared Institutions of National Importance under the IIM Act, 2017, granting them autonomy in governance, fee structure, and curriculum. Top IIMs like Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Indore, and Lucknow rank globally in FT MBA Rankings and among the top 10 in India per NIRF. Their flagship program is the full-time MBA, offered as a 2-year PGP or 1-year global MBA (EPGP, PGPX, etc.), with executive and part-time options for professionals. Post the 2017 Act, IIMs now award MBA degrees instead of diplomas. They also offer doctoral programs (FPM), short-term executive courses, and unique integrated programmes like: 5-Year IPM (BBA+MBA) – at IIM Indore, Rohtak, Bodh Gaya, Ranchi 5-Year Law Programme (BBA+LLB) – at IIM Rohtak Working Managers’ Programme – at IIM Lucknow |
| About Exam: | The Indian Institutes of Management will conduct a computer-based Common Admission Test 2025 (CAT 2025) on Sunday, November 30, 2025 in three sessions. CAT 2025 will be conducted by IIMs as a prerequisite for admission to various management programmes of IIMs. |
