However, we intend to invite majority of the applicants who apply on or before December 2nd, 2023 based on their profile as judged from:

  • Consistency and good past academic performance
  • Relevant work experience (if any) that brings value to class room learning

This early stage selection process provides a candidate an opportunity to appear for the process with relative ease.
Candidates need to update their entrance test percentiles (CAT/XAT/GMAT/CMAT/MAT) in the online application form after the same are declared for preparation of final selection list based on merit.

You need to update CAT/XAT/GMAT/CMAT/MAT score through student dashboard (BIMTECH Admissions Portal) after the same are declared for the preparation of final selection list based on merit. The official score card will be verified and needs to be submitted in case you have got an admission offer.

You can choose to submit more than one score. BIMTECH will choose the BEST score based on the eligibility before giving out the Final admission offer.
