In 2024, the XAT cutoff percentile for admission to the PGDM in International Business course was 60 for the students belonging to the General AI quota. So, candidates seeking admission to this course must aim to target a cutoff percentile of more than 60 to improve their chance of getting a call from the school for admission.

India Today Media Institute (ITMI) does not accept XAT scores. Instead, it conducts its own Admission Test, followed by group discussions, personal interviews, and essay writing. Candidates can apply online and pay the application fee of INR 1,200 and then go through the detailed application process. Applicants may reach out to the admissions office via email or phone for further assistance.
