Candidates who have secured the 1^st, 2^nd or 3^rd position (i.e., any of the top three ranks, at the College / Institute / University) in their undergraduate program can apply, without a XAT/CAT/GMAT/NMAT score. Such applicants must submit a certificate from the Head of the Institution to that effect when asked for. They will, however, be required to attend the Personal Interview, if called. 

Applicants opting for XAT/CAT/GMAT/NMAT are required to follow the XAT/CAT/GMAT/NMAT advertisements respectively and apply in time. Registering for XAT/CAT/GMAT/NMAT is a prerequisite for applying to XIM University's MBA-SM program, if not opting for XGMT.

Candidates who expect to complete the final part of their degree examinations by June 15, 2026, can also apply. Offers of admission to such candidates, if made, will be provisional and will be automatically cancelled in the event of their failing to complete all the requirements for obtaining the degree before June 15, 2026.
