Indian Institute of Management Jammu (IIM Jammu)

IIM Jammu’s website went dark at the DNS level on 11 September and stayed unreachable for 22 consecutive daily checks. It came back today, 3 October 2026 — and it answers every question a CAT 2026 aspirant has been unable to check for three weeks. This profile is built entirely from the restored official pages: the Batch 2026-28 admission policy, the fee structure, and the MBA 2024-26 final placement report.

The route in one paragraph

IIM Jammu admits its flagship MBA through CAT 2025 and CAP 2026 — the Common Admission Process it runs with IIM Bodh Gaya and IIM Sirmaur around one shared offline Personal Interview. Its own shortlist table is the most finely gender-split we have mapped at any IIM: General-category male candidates need 91 overall with 72 in every section; female and transgender candidates 89 overall with 71 sectionals, and the EWS, NC-OBC, SC, ST and PwD rows print their own male and female numbers. The final merit list is mechanical: CAT percentile 42, PI 30, profile 28 — academics 10 (10th two marks, 12th three, graduation five), work experience 10, gender diversity 8.

What it costs

The official fee-structure page prints Rs 22,80,756 across the two years of Batch 2026-28 — Year 1 Rs 11,37,378 and Year 2 Rs 11,43,378, tuition Rs 2,39,635 per term with the other-academic-expenses line itemised beside it (Rs 1,39,491 per term; Rs 1,45,491 in Term IV). That places Jammu Rs 1.8 lakh above IIM Sirmaur and Rs 4.8 lakh above IIM Bodh Gaya inside its own CAP consortium — see the full ladder on our IIM fees compared page. The offer-acceptance amount is Rs 50,000.

What it returns

The institute’s own MBA 2024-26 Final Placement Report — downloaded from its placements page and read today — records 260+ organisations, a highest CTC of Rs 26.60 lakh, an average of Rs 16.47 lakh and a median of Rs 15.00 lakh. The top 10% averaged Rs 22.90 lakh and the top quarter Rs 21.13 lakh; the lowest CTC printed is Rs 9.00 lakh. The cover carries NIRF 2025 rank 35 in Management and IIRF 2026 rank 19, and notes IIM Jammu as the fifth IIM with dual international accreditations.

The honest caveats

• The site currently governs Batch 2026-28; no 2027-29 policy is printed yet. If you are writing CAT 2026 on 29 November, the next policy lands on this same admissions page — watch it, not an aggregator.
• The CAP 2026 eligibility line (85 overall, 75 sectionals) and IIM Jammu’s own gender-split table are two different bars on one page — the first makes you eligible for the pool, the second decides the shortlist. The policy says so in as many words.
• Nothing in any document opened today shows a management, NRI or donation channel. The route is the formula above or nothing.
