For admission to the MBA applicants are required to qualify for the CAT. Overseas candidates may however, apply with GMAT scores.

Validity and other conditions are specified below:

• CAT - Current year scores
• GMAT score - no earlier than 24 months prior to last date of application

Overseas candidates including NRIs who seek admission to IIM Shillong (IIMS) Master in Business Administration (MBA) can apply in the prescribed application form furnishing their latest GMAT scores. The scores should not be older than 24 months as on the last date of application. The Institute considers the GMAT scores of the candidates living abroad in lieu of CAT score. The overseas candidates who happen to be in India during the CAT examination, should appear in the CAT  

An Indian citizen living abroad (studying or employed) will qualify as an overseas candidate for the purpose of considering themselves for admission only if the period of stay is not less than 18 months . There is no reservation for overseas candidates and the offer of admission will be made solely on the basis of merit as in the case of other applicants taking CAT.

The basic objective of IIM-R’s admission process is to identify meritorious candidates for
admission under each category of admission, viz., General, NC-OBC, SC, ST, EWS and
PWD/DAP. While merit is the prime consideration, the Institute recognizes a possibility of
skewed student structure in favor of male gender and engineering and related subjects at
graduation in the normal course. Hence, it strives to ensure a better balance in opportunities
among different subject streams and genders. It is also part of IIM Rohtak’s approach to duly
recognize academic consistency.
