IIM Sambalpur Announces Independent Admissions For MBA Programme 2025-27

IIM Sambalpur : IIM Sambalpur has announced a strategic shift in its admission process. In the new academic year 2025-2026, the institute will independently conduct its admission process for its flagship MBA Programme.

It is important to note that IIM Sambalpur ensures that the admissions are merit-based by using an aggregate of CAT 2024 scores, academic records, experience at work, and gender balance. The full details can be accessed through the website of the institute. 

Candidates are provided with flexible options to participate in personal interviews in either physical or virtual mode.

Prof Mahadeo Jaiswal, Director, IIM Sambalpur, said, “Since 2018, IIM Sambalpur has been a part of the Common Admission Process (CAP), where it has collaborated with other IIMs to collectively conduct the shortlisting and personal interview processes for admissions into the MBA programme. The primary objective of this collaboration was to optimally use the limited resources during the initial years of the institute, and to provide candidates with a convenient option to avoid multiple interviews during the admission season.”

“However, with the introduction of this new and independent admission process, IIM Sambalpur has opted to conduct its MBA admissions process independently similar to the earlier generation IIMs, allowing prospective candidates to be directly interviewed by the institute. We aim to offer a more tailored and seamless experience for applicants, in alignment with our vision to nurture talent and foster innovation,” the Director added. 

IIM Sambalpur MBA Admission Process: Key Points

• Flexible Interview Modes: Candidates can opt for online interviews or attend offline interviews at the IIM Sambalpur campus or at its Delhi campus, thus providing maximum flexibility. 
• Simultaneous Admissions: The same admission process would be followed for the flagship MBA and the new MBA (BA) programmes to streamline the experience of shortlisted candidates. 
• Personalised Interactions: The direct, individualised interactions are conducted between IIM Sambalpur and prospective students to allow for better assessment in return.
