Mistakes to avoid

Most costly errors with IMT come from applying one programme’s or one year’s figures to another.

Mistakes that cost IMT applicants time or money
MistakeWhat to do instead
Treating the 2026-28 fee as the 2027-29 feeNo 2027-29 fee is published yet. Ask admissions for it in writing before you budget or take a loan
Assuming hostel and mess are inside the ₹23,00,000The fee has no such line and residence is compulsory, so get the charge in writing
Sending GMAT scores lateScores must reach IMT’s central admission office by 15 January 2027; request the score report early
Applying on CMATCMAT 2027 is accepted for Nagpur only, so it does not count for Ghaziabad
Applying to one campus by defaultOne form covers Ghaziabad, Nagpur and Hyderabad; list your preferred programmes and campuses on it
Assuming every programme is NBA-accreditedNBA and AIU cover the PGDM. Banking & Financial Services and the Dual Country Program are listed as eligible but not applied; ask which accreditation covers your programme
Reading the batch average as your programme’sIMT gives separate 2024-26 figures only for Banking & Financial Services (₹18.31 L average) and for offers abroad; the PGDM, Marketing and Finance share the batch figure
Treating “around 90+ percentile” as a cut-offIt is an undated guide, not a cut-off; IMT publishes none
Losing a scholarship after joiningThe merit scholarship needs a CGPA of 7.5 at the end of term 5 and no F grade; the Leela Nath scholarship needs 7 and no F grade
Expecting the application fee backThe ₹3,500 is non-refundable after submission
  • If IMT’s answer to any of these changes before you pay, the answer on the day you pay is the one that counts

Residence is compulsory for the PGDM, in double-sharing rooms, and first-year men live at the IMT CDL hostel with shuttle buses to campus.

Is the IMT Ghaziabad PGDM equivalent to an MBA?

IMT awards a PGDM, not a university degree. AIU treats the two-year full-time PGDM as equivalent to an Indian MBA for admission to higher studies from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2028, or while AICTE and NBA approval remain valid, whichever is earlier.

Which IMT Ghaziabad programmes are NBA accredited?

NBA accredits programmes, not the institute. The PGDM is accredited to 30 June 2028; PGDM Marketing and PGDM Financial Management are also listed as accredited, without separate validity dates. PGDM Banking & Financial Services and the Dual Country Program are listed as eligible but not applied.

How many seats does IMT Ghaziabad have?
