IIM Bangalore UGAT Admission Process: Step-by-Step

The IIM Bangalore UGAT admission process has two main selection stages. Read more about the same below:

Step 1: Complete the Online Application Form

You had to submit your application through the IIM Bangalore undergraduate admissions portal between August 17 and October 17, 2026. 

The application allowed you to select your preferred programme or apply for both BSc (Honours) programmes.

If you applied for both programmes, you had to rank Economics and Data Science by preference. This preference matters during programme allocation after selection.

Step 2: Appear for the IIMB Undergraduate Admissions Test

The entrance test is the first major assessment in the IIM Bangalore UGAT admission process. The test is scheduled for November 15, 2026, and is a computer-based examination with 60 multiple-choice questions and a duration of 135 minutes.

The test covers three sections:

Section	Number of Questions	Time Allotted
Quantitative Aptitude and Data Interpretation (QADI)	30	60 minutes
Logical Reasoning (LR)	15	45 minutes
Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC)	15	30 minutes
Total	60	135 minutes

Step 3: Qualify for the First Shortlist

IIM Bangalore uses entrance test scores to prepare the first shortlist. You must meet the prescribed sectional and aggregate percentile cut-offs, with positive raw scores in all three sections.

The published minimum percentile requirements for the 2027–31 batch are:

Category	VARC	LR	QADI	Overall
General	50	50	75	80
NC-OBC	40	40	50	50
EWS	40	40	50	50
SC	25	25	40	40
ST	20	20	30	30
PwD	20	20	30	30

Step 4: Calculate the Pre-Interview Score

Applicants who make the first shortlist receive a pre-interview score based on four components.

Component	Weightage
UG Admission Test score	70 points
Class 10 overall marks	15 points
Class 10 Mathematics marks	10 points
Gender diversity	5 points
Total	100 points

Step 5: Submit Reference Letters and Attend the Personal Interview

If you are shortlisted, you must submit two online reference letters from teachers at academic institutions where you currently study or have studied. The teachers must have taught you relevant subjects within the previous four years.

Referees must submit the references directly through the online application system by the prescribed deadline.

The personal interview assesses academic consistency, motivation, communication skills, intellectual curiosity, and extracurricular achievements. 

Interviews for the 2027–31 batch are tentatively scheduled for the second and third weeks of January 2027.

Step 6: Calculate the Final Selection Score

After the interview, IIM Bangalore calculates a post-interview score using the following weightage:

Component	Weightage
Class 10 overall marks	10 points
Class 10 Mathematics marks	10 points
UG Admission Test score	40 points
Personal interview	40 points
Total	100 points

Step 7: Receive the Admission Offer

IIM Bangalore plans to release admission offers and the waitlist in the third week of February 2027. If you receive an offer, you must complete the acceptance and enrolment formalities within the specified deadlines.

If you qualify for both programmes, the institute considers your stated programme preferences. You will receive an offer for the higher-preference programme, not simultaneous offers for both. 

Your second preference may be considered if you do not qualify for the first preference and meet the requirements for the second.
