•  The test has a total duration of 135 minutes and is divided into three separately timed sections. 
• The exam will be held in English language
• There will be negative marking of 1/3rd mark for every incorrect answer

Section	Questions	Duration
Quantitative & Data Interpretation (QADI)	30	60 minutes
Logical Reasoning (LR)	15	45 minutes
Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension (VARC)	15	30 minutes
Total	60	135 minutes

Step 3: First Shortlist Based on UG Test Performance

After the UG Admission Test, IIM Bangalore prepares the first shortlist. Candidates must obtain a positive raw score in each of the three sections of the test to be considered for the first shortlist.

Category	Section 1: VARC	Section 2: LR	Section 3: QADI	Aggregate
General	NA	NA	80	114
NC-OBC	NA	NA	75	75
EWS	NA	NA	75	75
SC	NA	NA	70	51
ST	NA	NA	70	50
PwD	NA	NA	70	60

Step 4: Calculation of Pre-PI Score

Candidates who make the first shortlist are assigned a pre-PI score. This score is calculated using performance in the UG Admission Test, Class 10 performance and gender diversity.

Component	Weightage
UG Admission Test	70
Class 10 Overall Standardised Score	15
Class 10 Mathematics Standardised Score	10
Gender Diversity	5
Total	100

The 70 marks assigned to the UG Admission Test are further divided among the three sections:

UG Test Section	Weightage in Pre-PI Score

The gender-diversity component is used only at the pre-PI stage and is not considered in the subsequent post-PI score.

Based on the pre-PI score, IIM Bangalore selects candidates from each category for the next stage. Shortlisted candidates are then invited for a Personal Interview conducted in selected cities. 

Step 6: Submit Two Online Reference Letters

The referees should:

• Be teachers from an academic institution where the candidate currently studies or has studied.
• Have taught the candidate relevant subjects.

Step 7: Appear for the Personal Interview

Shortlisted candidates appear for the IIM Bangalore UG Personal Interview. The PI forms a significant part of the final selection process, carrying 40% weightage in the post-PI score. 

Step 8: Calculation of Post-PI Score

Component	Weightage
Class 10 Overall Standardised Score	10

IIMB Selection Process for BBA DBE

The IIM Bangalore BBA DBE selection process 2027 is expected to be based on an entrance-test score rather than a Personal Interview. In the latest official admission cycle, candidates could qualify through the IIMB DBE Entrance Test, CUET (UG) General Test or JEE Main, and selection was based entirely on performance in the applicable test.

Candidates must first satisfy the basic eligibility requirements for BBA DBE.

• IIMB DBE Entrance Test
• CUET (UG) General Test
• JEE Main

For the latest cycle, CUET (UG) General Test scores from 2024, 2025 or 2026 and JEE Main scores from the same years were accepted. Candidates with valid CUET or JEE scores did not have to take the IIMB DBE Entrance Test, although they could choose to appear for it.

Step 3: Meet the Applicable Cut-Off

Candidates are shortlisted based on the applicable entrance-test cut-off. For the 2026 admission cycle, the minimum cut-offs were:

Category	IIMB DBE Entrance Test	CUET GAT	JEE Main
General	50%	70th percentile	50th percentile
NC-OBC/EWS	45%	65th percentile	45th percentile
SC/ST/PwD	40%	60th percentile	40th percentile

Step 4: Selection and Admission Offer

Candidates meeting the applicable cut-off are considered for admission. Under the latest official process, there was no separate Personal Interview stage. Shortlisted candidates were informed to register for the programme by paying the required programme fee.
