About
Indian Institute of Management Amritsar has its campus at Manawala village, outside Amritsar towards Jandiala Guru. Besides the flagship two-year MBA it runs MBA (Business Analytics) and MBA (Human Resource Management) tracks, an Executive MBA, an MSDSM and an Integrated Programme in Management.
Admission is CAT-only, through the institute's own process. Under the 2026–28 policy (the 2027–29 policy is not yet out), candidates need category-wise minimum CAT percentiles in QA, DILR, VRC and overall, with a positive score in every section, so check all three sections and not only the overall. The final aggregate is 70% pre-interview score, where CAT counts 50 and work experience 15, and 30% post-interview score, where the interview counts 70.
Reported figures put the two-year MBA fee for 2026–28 at ₹21.50 lakh; the official fee PDF could not be read, so confirm it with the institute.
For the 2024–26 cohort of 256, IIM Amritsar reports a highest CTC of ₹43.00 LPA but no whole-batch median or average. The whole 2025–27 batch of 355 secured summer internships, the institute reports.
