The bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification obtained by the candidate must entail a minimum of three years of education after completing higher secondary schooling (10+2) or equivalent. The percentage obtained by the candidate in the bachelor’s degree would be based on the practice followed by the institution/university from which the candidate has obtained the degree. If the candidate is awarded grades/CGPA instead of marks, equivalence will be based on the equivalence certified by the institution/university from which they obtained the bachelor's degree. If the institution/university does not have a scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, IIMA will establish equivalence by dividing the obtained CGPA by the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the result by 100. A candidate appearing for the final year bachelor’s degree/equivalent qualification examination and those who have completed the degree requirements and are awaiting results can also apply. Such a candidate must produce a certificate from the Principal/Head of the Department/Registrar/Director of the Institution/University certifying that the candidate is currently in the final year/is awaiting final results and has obtained at least 50% marks or equivalent (45% in case of the candidate belonging to SC/ST/PwD category) based on latest available grades/marks. Such a candidate, if selected, will be allowed to join the program provisionally only if they submit a certificate latest by June 30, 2027 from the Principal/Head of the Department/Registrar/Director of the Institution/University (issued on or before June 30, 2027) stating that they have completed all the requirements (the result may, however, be awaited) for obtaining the bachelor’s degree/equivalent qualification on the date of issue of the certificate. Their admission will be confirmed only when the candidate submits the marksheet and a certificate of having passed the bachelor’s degree/equivalent qualification referred to in the certificate issued by the Principal/Head of the Department/Registrar/Director of the Institution/University with at least 50% marks (45% in case of the candidate belonging to SC/ST/PwD category) . It is mandatory for a final-year student, who is provisionally admitted, to submit the marksheet and degree certificate of the final-year bachelor’s degree examination held on or before June 30, 2027 (including supplementaries, if any), to be eligible for admission to the Post Graduate Program (PGP) 2027-29 Batch. The deadline for submitting the marksheet and certificate is December 31, 2027. Non-fulfillment of this condition will automatically result in the cancellation of the provisional admission.

If equivalence is certified by the awarding institution, it is used. If the institution does not convert CGPA to equivalent marks, IIMA establishes equivalence by dividing the obtained CGPA by the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying by 100.

What happens if a final-year student is provisionally admitted but does not meet submission deadlines?

Final-year students must submit marksheet and degree certificates for eligibility.
