IIMA’s official 27 March 2026 release reports that the final placement process for the PGP Class of 2026 concluded with all participating students placed across 26 cohorts. The process included lateral placements for experienced candidates and a cluster-cohort final placement process, with firms across technology, banking, finance, consulting and analytics. This statement applies to the reported PGP Class of 2026 process and is not a placement guarantee for other programmes or future cohorts.

For domestic applicants to the two-year full-time flagship MBA/PGP, the official process uses CAT, followed by shortlisting and further assessment including an analytical writing test and personal interviews. Selection also considers applicable test scores and past academic performance. Overseas Indian applicants and foreign nationals may follow the GMAT route described by the institute. Programme-specific requirements and deadlines vary; applicants should use the current official admissions page for the programme they intend to apply to.

IIMA was established in 1961 as a collaboration involving the Government of India, the Government of Gujarat and local industrialists, with additional early institutional collaboration involving the Ford Foundation and Harvard Business School. The institute describes its case-based approach as a formative part of its management pedagogy. In 2008, it became the first management school in India to receive EQUIS accreditation.
