List of IIMs in India: Rankings, Cut-offs & Programs

Updated on 18th May 2023 | 5:31 pm | #ListofIIMs

The Indian Institutes of Management, or as they are popularly called, IIMs, are the top institutes for management education and research in India. There are 20 IIMs in India and they offer post-graduate, doctoral, and executive programs. Every MBA aspirant hopes to get into an IIM for a management program. However, the competition is tough with over 2 lakh students applying for CAT and vying for admission to the 5000+ seats in the IIMs.

The Common Admission Test (CAT) is conducted every year in November to get into the MBA or managerial programs at IIMs. Cracking CAT is the first step towards securing a seat in one of the top IIMs. Based on CAT scores, IIMs screen aspirants for the 2nd step of the admission process called the PI/WAT/GD round. The Composite CAT Score, past academic performance, work experience, and WAT/GD/PI scores are computed to release the final IIM admission lists, released by each IIM separately.

Pursuing a degree from one of the top B-schools will provide you with the best guidance, exposure, and infrastructure for your career progression. The placements and packages offered after completing an MBA from an IIM also add to the fervor of getting into one of these prestigious institutes.
