About
Bharathidasan Institute of Management is the management school of Bharathidasan University, set inside the BHEL township in Tiruchirappalli. It runs a single two-year, full-time residential MBA that awards a university degree, with specialisations in marketing, finance, operations, human resource management, and digital business and analytics.
Admission is on CAT, XAT or GMAT. BIM shortlists on the test score, then holds a group discussion and personal interview in several cities in February. Final selection also looks at academics and work experience, but BIM does not publish weights or a cutoff. For the 2027–29 batch, registration opened on 7 September 2026 and closes on 31 January 2027.
AICTE has approved an increase in intake from 120 to 180 seats, so the incoming batch is larger than in past years.
BIM does not publish its fee or placement report on its admission site. Reported figures put the 2026–28 fee at about ₹17.7 lakh over two years and the 2023–25 median CTC at ₹10.8 LPA. Confirm the 2027–29 fee with the institute before you accept an offer.
Cutoff
The percentile of the last candidate called (or admitted) in the latest cycle, from the institute where it publishes this, otherwise as reported for that cycle. Where no actual figure is out yet, the expected call percentile is shown and labelled. This is the reality check next to the minimum.
