Important Deadlines for MBA Entrance Exams & B-School Applications | 2022/237 min read

September 23, 2022 By Rajesh 7 min read

The MBA entrance exam season is upon us and with various exams opening up their registrations and B-schools opening up their applications, it starts getting increasingly difficult for students to stay on top of everything. We at 2IIM would like to help makes this process a little easier for you. This blog is meant to be a one-stop destination for aspirants to stay on top of the main MBA entrance exam and B-school application deadlines. It’s critical that you keep a close track of these deadlines and register/apply well in advance. Please bookmark this page and keep revisiting it often as we will be updating it on a regular basis.

IMPORTANT – Please note that you have to register for an entrance exam AND apply to many B-schools separately. Every year, there are several students who make the big mistake of registering for an entrance exam but not separately applying to their desired B-schools. As a result, they lose out on their admission and once a B-school application deadline has passed, nothing can be done about it. PLEASE don’t make this mistake!

Below you will find both deadlines – Entrance Exam Registration AND B-school Application. Please review it carefully.

MBA Entrance Exam Deadlines – 2022/2023

(Last updated on 30-Dec-22)

The CAT-2022 registration is closed. However, some other main exams are open for registration. CAT is of course the great-grandmother of all entrance exams but the other exams can also get you into some fantastic B-schools. We strongly recommend attempting multiple entrance exams and keeping your options open. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

B-Schools with their Own Entrance Exams

The following B-schools have their own entrance exams and do not require separate applications (Note the exceptions for IIMs below). You will need to register for their entrance exam and during the registration process, you will need to select/apply to the B-schools that you are interested in.

IIMs – While registering for CAT, you will need to select the IIMs that you are interested in. We recommend choosing ALL IIMs at the stage of registration. Every year, we see students who are very selective in their choices during registration only to regret later.

IIM Exceptions – There are some IIMs that require SEPARATE applications – IIM Rohtak (we will keep updating this list)
See the deadlines for these IIMs in the above table.

Symbiosis (SIBM, SCMHRD etc.) – While registering for SNAP, you will need to select the institutes/programs that you are interested in and pay a separate fee for each program that you wish to apply to. Please see the “E. PROGRAMME REGISTRATION FEE PAYMENT PROCESS” section on their registration page for more details.

XLRI – This is included in the XAT registration process.

IIFT – This is included in the IIFT entrance exam registration process.

MICA – This is included in the registration process for MICAT. Please note that to be eligible for admission into MICA, you must have taken at least one of the three exams (MANDATORY): CAT/ XAT/GMAT. MICAT is an additional entrance exam that you will need to attempt on top of CAT/XAT/GMAT.

Bookmark this link to keep a tab on these important deadlines. We will keep updating this page on a regular basis.

Please register for the entrance exams and apply to the desired B-schools well in advance. Please don’t wait till the last date. All the very best!

The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight,
but they, while their companions slept,
were toiling upward in the night.
