The admission process at IMI Bhubaneswar is designed to select candidates who demonstrate academic potential, leadership skills, and a keen interest in management studies. The primary focus is on performance in national-level entrance exams like CAT (Common Admission Test) and XAT (Xavier Aptitude Test), with GMAT scores also being accepted for both domestic and international applicants.
The process begins with candidates submitting their applications through the official IMI Bhubaneswar portal, providing their academic details, test scores, and any relevant work experience. Based on the entrance exam performance and academic history, candidates are shortlisted for the Personal Interview (PI) round.
The PI stage is a critical part of the process and assesses various attributes, including communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and overall awareness of management-related concepts and current affairs. Interviews may be conducted in-person or online, ensuring flexibility for candidates across locations.
The final selection considers a mix of factors, including entrance test scores, academic background, work experience (if any), and interview performance. Selected candidates are then offered admission, and they must confirm their seat by completing the fee payment process.
This structured approach ensures that IMI Bhubaneswar identifies individuals with the right mix of aptitude and ambition to succeed in their management programs.
