How to Apply for IIM Calcutta MBA Admission 2027-29?

  • Domestic candidates seeking admission to the two-year full-time MBA programme are considered through CAT 2026. IIM Calcutta does not conduct a separate entrance examination for this admission route.
  • Register for CAT 2026 through the official CAT admission process within the prescribed registration period.
  • Indicate IIM Calcutta and its MBA programme in the applicable CAT registration preferences.
  • Appear for CAT 2026 on 29 November 2026.
  • Check the CAT result and verify the minimum sectional and overall percentile requirements.
  • Check the IIM Calcutta website for the PI-WAT shortlist.

  • Attend the Personal Interview and Writing Ability Test on the allotted schedule.

Important Instructions

  • CAT 2026 is your entry exam. The route is CAT 2026 on 29 November 2026, and there is no separate application before then. You are also asked to register for CAT with the IIM Calcutta details in your profile, since the institute uses CAT data.
  • Selection has three stages. The 2027 process has three stages. One report says CAT carries 56 points in shortlisting and the personal interview (PI) carries 48% of the final selection. Another says PI gets 48% and the CAT score 30% in the final composite. Don’t rely on either figure until you’ve read the official policy.
  • Minimum CAT percentile and graduation marks apply. Stage I has a minimum CAT percentile for the 2027-29 batch (CAT 2026 score), and graduation marks thresholds also apply. Meeting the minimum doesn’t guarantee a shortlist.
  • Final-year students can apply, with a deadline. The final-year degree certificate submission deadline is 30 June 2027. If you’re still in your final year, plan your result timing around it.
  • Overseas applicants have a separate GMAT route. It needs a GMAT total of at least 735 with at least 89 in Verbal, Quantitative and Data Insights; the application fee is USD 150 and the last date is 1 February 2027. Shortlists are expected in the first week of January 2027, so watch your registered email.
