Having Work Experience is not a requirement for admission to the program, however candidates with work experience are welcome.

ITM uses standardized management entrance test scores as a part of its overall selection process. Candidates are not selected/disqualified on the basis of their test scores only. The test score is just one part of an overall candiate profile.

The following test scores are generally accepted:

•  CAT (Common Application Form)
•  XAT (Xavier's Management Test)
•  GMAT (Graduate Management Aptitude Test)

In addition, other Nationally Competitive Exam scores are accepted on a selective basis, depending on the program applied for, such as the ATMA, MAT, CET, JMET and others. For some programs , ITM conducts its own entrance test.

Students must submit an attested copy of Test Score Card along with the application form. If test score card is not yet available, they give details of Test Registration Number, Test Centre Code, etc.

Note: ITM uses the CAT score for short-listing candidates called for Group Discussions/Personal Interview. IIM's have no role in selection or in conducting the program.

Students having completed their 10+2 from a Board recognized College are eligible to apply. All streams (Science, Commerce, Arts) are generally accepted, except in the case of specific programs. In addition, an competitive entrance test score or an ITM entrance test may be applicable.
