IIM , Guwahati

IIM Guwahati, India's newest IIM mentored by IIM Ahmedabad, invites applications for its founding MBA batch of 2026–28. With just 70 seats, this is a rare chance to shape an institution's culture from day one.

What sets IIM Guwahati apart is its completely objective, interview-free selection process. The Composite Score is calculated as CS = 0.65 × NCAT + 0.35 × NAR, where NCAT is your normalized CAT score and NAR is your Normalized Academic Rating based on Class 10, Class 12, graduation marks, and work experience. No Personal Interviews, Group Discussions, or Written Ability Tests—consistent academic performers and strong CAT scorers are rewarded purely on measurable merit.

CAT 2025 cutoffs are accessible: General/EWS need 85 overall and 75 sectional; NC-OBC 80 and 70; SC 75 and 65; ST 65 and 55, with lower PwD thresholds. Eligibility requires a bachelor's degree with 50% marks (45% for SC/ST/PwD) and a positive CAT score.

For aspirants who value clarity, transparency, and academic consistency over subjective evaluation, IIM Guwahati offers a compelling and unique opportunity.
