Last updated 6 September 2026 · Reviewed by Piyush Agarwal · Latest change: Initial sourced profile published from IMT Nagpur's official admissions page opened today — fees, scholarships, 360-seat matrix, the printed no-management-quota line, Batch 2024-26 placement highlights and rankings all read on the live page
The short answer
As of September 2026, IMT Nagpur's Batch 2027-29 admissions are open for PGDM, PGDM (Financial Management) and PGDM (Marketing) on CAT 2026, XAT 2027, CMAT 2027 or GMAT, with a 50% graduation bar, 360 seats and a printed Rs 16 lakh total including hostel and mess. Its FAQ answers the quota question in one line: no management quota, selection purely on merit.
Selection process
- Hold a bachelor's degree of at least three years with 50% aggregate marks; final-year students may apply, with admission cancelled if the pass certificate is not submitted later.
- Apply online with a CAT 2026, XAT 2027, CMAT 2027 or GMAT score (GMAT valid from 1 January 2023 to 28 February 2027; GMAT scores must reach the institute by 15 March 2027).
- Applications run in phases with deadlines posted on the institute website; early phases close first.
- Shortlisted candidates attend an offline Personal Interview process for Batch 2027-29; process details are shared with shortlisted candidates in January 2027.
- The final selection is a consolidated score across entrance test, past academics, work experience and PI performance; there is no caste-based reservation at the institute.

Is there a management quota here?
No — and the institute prints the answer itself. IMT Nagpur's admissions FAQ, opened on 6 September 2026, states: 'There is no management quota. Selection is based purely on merit.' The same FAQ adds that there is no caste-based reservation either; every seat in the 360-seat matrix is filled on the consolidated merit score. If anyone offers you a priced IMT Nagpur seat outside this process, the offer contradicts the institute's own published page.
Institute of Management Technology, Nagpur is the plain-spoken campus of the IMT group: one admissions page that prints the exam menu, the 360-seat matrix, the all-in fee, three scholarship-adjusted totals, and — in its FAQ, in so many words — the answer to the question agents charge money to blur: “There is no management quota. Selection is based purely on merit.”
What should an applicant plan for?
Four test routes run this cycle: CAT 2026, XAT 2027, CMAT 2027 or GMAT (any score from 1 January 2023 to 28 February 2027, reaching the institute by 15 March 2027). The bar is a 50% graduation aggregate with final-year candidates welcome, applications move in phases, and the Personal Interview round for Batch 2027-29 is offline, with logistics mailed to shortlisted candidates in January 2027. The 360 seats split 240 core / 60 Marketing / 60 Financial Management, and the first-year courses are common across all three, with major-minor specialisations chosen later.
The money is printed as one honest total: Rs 16,00,000 for the whole two years including hostel, mess, books and the admission fee — a residential programme where everyone stays on campus. Then the page does something rare: it prints what each scholarship does to that total. Every admitted female student pays Rs 12,94,600 (the Smt Leela Nath Memorial Scholarship, 20% off the academic fee). A 90-percentile-plus CAT or XAT scorer — or a 700/645-plus GMAT scorer — pays Rs 9,89,200 (40% off the academic fee). And up to 5% of approved intake, under AICTE’s Tuition Fee Waiver clause 6.42, pays Rs 2,89,000 — one of the lowest verified totals for a two-year residential PGDM anywhere on this site. One rule applies throughout: a student eligible for more than one waiver opts into exactly one.
Placements are published as highlights rather than an audited report: Batch 2024-26 shows a Rs 24 LPA highest offer, an ongoing average of Rs 12 LPA, top-50 and top-10% averages of Rs 13.37 and Rs 18.44 LPA, 65+ companies, and 12 pre-placement offers out of summer internships at an average of Rs 16 LPA. Read those as the institute’s own published figures — the five checks in our placement-report guide apply — and compare the three IMT campuses side by side in our verified IMT comparison.

Questions, answered
- Which exams does IMT Nagpur accept for Batch 2027-29?
- Four, per the official admissions page opened on 6 September 2026: CAT 2026, XAT 2027, CMAT 2027, or GMAT with scores dated between 1 January 2023 and 28 February 2027 (GMAT scores must reach the institute by 15 March 2027). Nagpur is the only IMT campus in our verified set that takes CMAT.
- What is the real total cost of the IMT Nagpur PGDM?
- The printed Batch 2027-29 total is Rs 16,00,000 for two years including hostel, mess, books and the admission fee, on double occupancy. Scholarships move that total on the same page: Rs 12,94,600 for every admitted female student, Rs 9,89,200 at 90 percentile-plus on CAT/XAT or a 700/645-plus GMAT, and Rs 2,89,000 under the AICTE Tuition Fee Waiver for up to 5% of intake.
- Is there a management quota at IMT Nagpur?
- No. The institute's own admissions FAQ states: 'There is no management quota. Selection is based purely on merit.' It also states there is no caste-based reservation. Any paid route offered in IMT Nagpur's name contradicts the page the institute itself publishes.
- What are IMT Nagpur's latest published placement numbers?
- For Batch 2024-26, as printed on the admissions page when we opened it on 6 September 2026: highest package Rs 24 LPA, average Rs 12 LPA (marked ongoing), top-50 average Rs 13.37 LPA, top-10% average Rs 18.44 LPA, 65+ companies, and an average PPO package of Rs 16 LPA. These are institute-published figures, not an audited report — read them with our placement-report guide.
- Is the IMT Nagpur PGDM an MBA?
- In effect, yes: the page states the PGDM is equivalent to an MBA by the Association of Indian Universities. It is an AICTE-approved, two-year, fully residential PGDM — staying in the campus hostel is mandatory, on double occupancy at the published fee.
