Admission AnnouncementsJuly - January
  • Regularly review the Admissions section of your target exams/business schools for important information.
Application Submission DeadlineOctober - April
  • Many lower-ranked business schools may extend their application deadlines, but it’s best not to rely on this.

  • MICAT is held twice a year (in December and February), while MAT is held four times a year (February, May, September, December). NMAT spans almost three months, allowing a maximum of three attempts.
  • IIFT takes place in November/December/January. XAT usually occurs in January. CAT is conducted in the last quarter of the year, and SNAP in December/January.
Group Discussions/Essay and InterviewsJanuary - April
  • Some institutes begin their GWPI (Group Discussion, Written Test, and Personal Interview) processes immediately after result announcements. Start preparing for GWPI early.
Final Results AnnouncementFebruary - May
  • Many business schools maintain waitlists, updated periodically even after the term starts.
  • According to AICTE norms, if you withdraw admission from a business school after paying fees, they must refund the amount, deducting only a nominal handling charge.
  • Provisional admission may be granted if your college results are not yet declared at the start of the academic year. Check with the admissions department for specific policies.
