Indian Institute of Management Udaipur (IIM Udaipur)
Last updated 9 September 2026 · Reviewed by Piyush Agarwal · Latest change: Initial sourced profile published from IIM Udaipur's official MBA admissions and fees pages opened today — the 94/75 General shortlist bar and full category table, the invitation-only registration step, the 55/25/20 final formula on the normalised CAT score, planned batch of 375, the printed six-term fee table totalling Rs 21,51,258, the Rs 6 lakh income line for need-based waivers, and PI venues
The short answer
As of 9 September 2026, IIM Udaipur admits to its two-year MBA only through CAT: a General-category shortlist bar of 94 overall with 75 in each section, a final list weighing the normalised CAT score at 55%, the Personal Interview at 25% and profile at 20%, and a printed six-term fee totalling Rs 21,51,258 for the 2026-28 batch.
Selection process
- Take CAT and clear the published minimums for the PI stage: General 75 in each section with 94 overall; EWS 55/55/55 with 81; NC-OBC 52/52/52 with 81; SC 45/45/45 with 66; ST 25/25/30 with 42; DAP 25/25/30 with 42.
- Watch for the Admission Office email after CAT results: online registration is mandatory, by invitation, and missing the timeline ends the candidature — registration itself is not an interview call.
- Shortlisting for the Personal Interview runs on the CAT 2025 score plus the profile (Class 10, 12, graduation, work experience and gender diversity as given in the CAT form); invited candidates name at least three PI location preferences across Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai and the IIM Udaipur campus.
- The final merit list weighs the normalised CAT score at 55% — the score, not the percentile, divided by the highest CAT score among IIMU applicants who attended the PI — plus the Personal Interview at 25% and profile at 20%.
- Work experience counts up to 31 January 2026; candidates may update Class 10, 12, graduation and work-experience details while filling the IIMU application form after the PI invitation.

Is there a management quota here?
No. IIM Udaipur's published process is entirely mechanical: printed CAT minimums, an invitation-only registration, a profile shortlist, the Personal Interview and a fixed 55/25/20 final formula. The official admissions and fees pages opened on 9 September 2026 carry no institute-level, management or NRI channel for the two-year MBA — the only door is the printed one.
IIM Udaipur runs the oldest-style IIM admission process among the institutes we have mapped this month: no joint consortium, no common interview — its own shortlist, its own interview, its own arithmetic. The printed bar for the 2026-28 batch is 94 overall with 75 in each section for General candidates, and the final list weighs the normalised CAT score — not the percentile — at 55%, the Personal Interview at 25% and the profile at 20%.
What should an applicant plan for?
The first gate is not the application but the inbox. After CAT results, the Admission Office emails eligible candidates a link to a mandatory online registration — the page is explicit that registration is a pre-interview requirement, not an interview call, and that missing the timeline ends the candidature. Candidates who clear the profile shortlist then name at least three interview preferences across Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai and the Udaipur campus, with forenoon and afternoon sessions.
Two mechanical details are worth knowing before the form is filled. Work experience counts only up to 31 January 2026, and the 55% CAT component uses the raw score divided by the highest score among IIM Udaipur’s own PI attendees — a normalisation that quietly rewards being near the top of this institute’s pool, not the country’s. The planned batch is 375.
The money is printed to the term: Rs 21,51,258 across six terms for 2026-28, tuition, hostel and mess inside, with the Rs 1,00,000 offer-acceptance payment adjusted in Term 1. Need-based tuition waivers exist for admitted students with household income below Rs 6,00,000, and the institute steers loan seekers to the government Vidya Lakshmi portal. Compare the formula with IIM Trichy and IIM Raipur, or place the total inside our verified budget bands.

Questions, answered
- Which exam does IIM Udaipur accept for the two-year MBA?
- CAT only. The official MBA admissions page, opened on 9 September 2026, describes a CAT-based process: published percentile minimums, an email invitation to register, a profile shortlist and the Personal Interview. No GMAT route or institute-level test exists for this programme.
- What CAT percentile does IIM Udaipur need?
- For the 2026-28 PI stage, General-category candidates need 75 in each section and 94 overall; EWS and NC-OBC need 81 overall, SC 66, and ST and DAP 42. The institute reserves the right to move the bars if too few or too many candidates qualify category-wise.
- What is the total IIM Udaipur MBA fee?
- The printed six-term table for 2026-28 totals Rs 21,51,258 — tuition, hostel and mess included, plus a Rs 20,000 refundable caution deposit and the Rs 5,000 alumni fee. The Rs 1,00,000 paid to accept the offer is adjusted inside the Term 1 tuition line.
- Does IIM Udaipur use the CAT score or the percentile in the final list?
- The score. The final merit list takes the candidate's CAT 2025 score, normalised against the highest CAT score among candidates who applied to IIM Udaipur and attended the PI, at 55% weight — the admissions page states expressly that the percentile is not used here.
- Is there a management quota at IIM Udaipur?
- No. Admission runs on printed CAT minimums and a fixed 55/25/20 final formula; nothing on the official admissions or fees pages opened on 9 September 2026 shows any institute-level, management or NRI channel. Anyone quoting a price for an IIM Udaipur seat is describing a channel the institute does not publish.
