Is there a management quota here?
IMT Hyderabad's own admissions page publishes no quota of any kind — one published route: CAT, XAT or GMAT into the offline interview and composite selection, at one published fee. The clearest written answer in the IMT group sits on the Nagpur campus page, opened today: 'There is no management quota. Selection is based purely on merit.' Nothing on either campus page supports a paid side door, and any offer of one should be checked with the institute directly.
Institute of Management Technology, Hyderabad prices its PGDM the way families wish every college would: one number. Rs 16 lakh for Batch 2027-29, and the page says the academic fee includes accommodation and mess charges — no separate hostel table, no mess deposit discovered later. In a city where the verified spread runs from GITAM’s roughly Rs 10.2 lakh to ISB’s Rs 34.48 lakh, that single all-in figure lands the IMT group’s Hyderabad campus squarely in the middle band, with the group’s scholarship machinery attached.
What should an applicant plan for?
Three tests run this campus: CAT 2026, XAT 2027 or GMAT (scores from 1 January 2023 to 31 March 2027; the central office wants GMAT scores by 15 January 2027). The common application opened in September 2026 at a Rs 3,500 fee, the bar is 50% at graduation with final-year candidates welcome, and the rounds are physical: an offline interview process starting the first week of February 2027, results in the third week of March, classes in June 2027. If CMAT is the exam you wrote, this campus does not read it — IMT Nagpur does, and it prints the group’s frankest quota answer while doing so.
The scholarship grid mirrors the group’s: a 20% academic-fee scholarship for every admitted female candidate (Smt Leela Nath Memorial), 40% at a 90-percentile-plus CAT/XAT or 700/645-plus GMAT, a full Tuition Fee Waiver, and a merit-cum-means award for second-year students. Placements are published as year-wise report links for batches back to 2018-20 rather than one consolidated salary table — ask the institute for the current report and read it with the five checks in our placement-report guide. For the same brand at different prices, IMT Ghaziabad vs Nagpur vs Hyderabad, verified puts all three fee PDFs and pages side by side; the Hyderabad city guide keeps this campus beside the city’s five other verified doors.

Questions, answered
- Does IMT Hyderabad accept CMAT or MAT?
- No. The official admissions page, opened on 6 September 2026, lists exactly three tests for the 2027-29 PGDM: CAT 2026, XAT 2027 and GMAT (scores from 1 January 2023 to 31 March 2027). If CMAT is the score you hold, IMT Nagpur — same group, same common application — is the campus that accepts it.
- What does the IMT Hyderabad PGDM really cost?
- The published Batch 2027-29 programme fee is Rs 16 lakh for the two years, and the page states the academic fee includes accommodation and mess charges — there is no separate hostel bill to add for budgeting. Scholarships then cut the academic fee: 20% for every admitted woman, 40% at 90 percentile-plus on CAT/XAT or a 700/645-plus GMAT, and 100% under the Tuition Fee Waiver scheme.
- Is there a management quota at IMT Hyderabad?
- Nothing on the institute's official pages describes one. The published route is a single line — entrance score, offline interview, composite selection — and the group's clearest written answer, on IMT Nagpur's page, is that there is no management quota and selection is purely on merit. Treat any priced seat offer in IMT's name as inconsistent with what the institute publishes.
- When do IMT Hyderabad 2027-29 applications close?
- The page says the common application opened in September 2026 without printing a closing date; the process timeline it does print is admission rounds from the first week of February 2027 and results in the third week of March 2027. Apply early — the IMT group's phases close in sequence, and GMAT scores must reach the central office by 15 January 2027.
- Is the IMT Hyderabad PGDM residential?
- Yes — the programme is residential on the 30-acre Shamshabad campus near the airport, and the published Rs 16 lakh fee already includes accommodation and mess charges, which is why the institute presents it as a single all-in figure.
