Admission through IRMASAT is now being done based on the scores obtained by the students in the CAT/ XAT/ CMAT exams. Candidates can appear for the Personal Interview conducted at the IRMA centre to secure admission at IRMA.
IRMA uses CAT 2024/ XAT 2025/CMAT 2025 scores to shortlist candidates. Selected candidates are thereafter called for the IRMA online admission test known as, IRMA Social Awareness Test or IRMASAT, on the subject of “Issues of Social Concern”. Candidates need to answer 40 questions on “Issues of Social Concern” in one hour and 20 minutes. The section generally tests the candidate's understanding of relevant social issues and socio-economic factors.
The IRMASAT exam was scrapped by the Institute of Rural Management, Anand. The college started accepting scores of the popular national entrance exams such as CAT, XAT and CMAT for admission to the PGDM programme in Rural Management by the institute.
The IRMA PGDM fees is around INR 18.6 Lakh. The duration of the course is for two years. Moreover, the entrance exams accepted include XAT CAT and CMAT. The eligibility for MBA course is that candidate should have passed graduation with a minimum of 50% aggregate.
