IIM Mumbai Merit List 2026 – How Is It Prepared?
The IIM Mumbai merit list is not a single publicly available ranking document. As per the official IIM Mumbai MBA Admission Policy, the final selection is based on a composite score with the following weightages:
Final Composite Score Weightage (MBA 2026–28)
| Selection Component | Weightage |
| CAT 2025 Score | 60% |
| Personal Interview (PI) | 20% |
| Academic Performance + Work Experience (APWE) | 20% |
Key details on each component:
- CAT 2025 Score (60%): This is the single largest determinant. Both overall percentile and scaled sectional scores are factored in. Clearing the minimum cutoff is necessary, but not sufficient; competition-level cutoffs for the General category were significantly higher than the qualifying minimums.
- Personal Interview (20%): Evaluated on communication, domain knowledge, career goals, leadership potential, and overall personality fit with IIM Mumbai’s profile, which has a strong industrial engineering and operations heritage.
- Academic Performance and Work Experience, APWE (20%): Includes Class 10 marks, Class 12 marks, graduation performance, work experience duration and quality, and gender diversity bonus points. Work experience is not mandatory, but relevant experience does improve the composite score.

CAT 2025 Cutoffs for IIM Mumbai
These are the minimum qualifying CAT 2025 percentiles. Clearing these thresholds was necessary but not sufficient, actual competition-level cutoffs for being called to PI were higher, especially for General and NC-OBC category candidates.
| Category | VARC %ile | DILR %ile | QA %ile | Overall %ile |
| General / Open | ≥80 | ≥80 | ≥75 | ≥85 |
| NC-OBC | ≥70 | ≥65 | ≥65 | ≥75 |
| EWS | ≥70 | ≥65 | ≥65 | ≥75 |
| SC | ≥65 | ≥60 | ≥60 | ≥70 |
| ST | ≥55 | ≥55 | ≥55 | ≥65 |
| PwD | ≥45 | ≥45 | ≥45 | ≥55 |
For General category candidates, effective PI call cutoffs based on competition-level trends were considerably above the 85th percentile minimum, typically in the 92nd–95th percentile range for the MBA programme.
IIM Mumbai Waitlist Movement 2026 – What to Expect
IIM Mumbai is a relatively newer IIM (formerly NITIE Mumbai, accorded IIM status in 2022) with three specialised programmes.
| Category | Seats |
| General | 287 |
| NC-OBC | 158 |
| SC | 103 |
| ST | 66 |
| DAP/PwD | 5 |
| EWS | 40 |
Why waitlist movement happens:
- Multiple IIM results were announced through April–May 2026. Candidates who received simultaneous offers from older, higher-ranked IIMs will typically decline IIM Mumbai offers, freeing up seats.
- Movement runs in multiple rounds, not as a single bulk release. Each round follows a period of offer acceptance confirmations.
- Waitlist movement is category-wise, General, EWS, NC-OBC, SC, ST, and PwD categories each have their own waitlist queue. Conversion is most predictable for lower waitlist numbers in each category.
What Waitlisted Candidates Should Do Right Now
- Log in to iimmumbai.ac.in immediately, note your waitlist number, and take a screenshot for reference.
- Monitor your registered email every single day, including spam, junk, and promotions folders. Waitlist offers carry short acceptance windows, sometimes 24–48 hours.
- Keep the seat acceptance fee amount ready for immediate payment. Delaying even by a few hours after receiving a waitlist offer can result in seat loss.
- Do NOT assume the waitlist is inactive after the first round. Movement typically continues through June and July 2026 across multiple rounds.
- Continue pursuing backup options in parallel, other B-school offers, job opportunities, or next-attempt planning. Do not put all contingencies on a single waitlist.
- Candidates with lower waitlist numbers in General category have historically had better conversion prospects as IIM Mumbai fills its batch across all three programmes.
