FORE admission dates for the 2027-29 batch
FORE’s live admissions portal labels the current intake “PGDM Admissions 2027-29” and shows applications open for New Delhi and Gurugram programmes. The dates below belong to that batch only. They are not a standing annual calendar: an applicant for another intake should use that year’s notice rather than carry these dates forward.
The portal lists 15 December 2026 as the application deadline. It places shortlisting in the second week of January 2027, the selection process from the third week of January, and final results in the third week of March 2027. The school says shortlisted candidates receive an email to book a selection-process slot; the portal does not give a fixed personal-interview day in the captured notice. Check the current notice before booking travel or making employment decisions, because the schedule may be updated.
The portal describes selection as a sequence: submit an application, get shortlisted on entrance-test score, attend a personal interview, and await a merit-based final selection and offer. A stated milestone is a planning window, not a guarantee that every applicant will be contacted on that date. If a date changes, the live school notice and any direct communication to the candidate should control. 2027-29 admissions portal
Degree and test requirements
For the regular PGDM programmes, the portal states a bachelor’s degree in any discipline with at least 50% marks. It lists CAT 2026, XAT 2027, or GMAT taken between 1 January 2025 and 31 January 2027, followed by shortlisting based on entrance-test score and a personal interview. The test date window is specific to this published cycle. Do not substitute a score from another year without checking the school’s current eligibility page.
The portal presents separate criteria for PGDM (Healthcare & Hospital Management) and PGDM (Working Professionals). For Healthcare & Hospital Management, the notice lists CAT, XAT, GMAT, GRE or the FORE Aptitude Test, the same 50% bachelor’s threshold, entrance-score shortlisting and a personal interview. The Working Professionals route lists those tests and also requires at least three years of full-time post-qualification managerial or supervisory experience. The notice uses a broad test list for these two routes, so applicants should not assume the regular-programme CAT/XAT/GMAT window applies identically to them. Confirm the individual programme card and current eligibility section before paying the application fee.
The school’s general admissions page also contains older FAQ text that mentions earlier CAT/XAT years. For the present application, use the live 2027-29 portal’s cycle-labelled criteria rather than that older FAQ excerpt. The portal’s requirement is an eligibility threshold, not a published promise of a shortlist or offer. Applicants should check how the school treats CGPA-to-percentage conversion, final-year candidates, backlogs, international qualifications and document deadlines in the current application instructions; the captured portal excerpt does not resolve each of those cases.

Application and interview steps
The portal describes a five-step online application. First, register using a mobile number and personal email address. Then verify the mobile number with the one-time password, fill in personal, academic and experience details, review the form and pay the stated non-refundable application fee, and upload a photograph, marksheets and signature in the formats requested by the form. Submit only after checking that the programme choices and details are correct. The captured page does not state the application-fee amount, so confirm the amount displayed in the live application before payment.
After the deadline, the portal says shortlisting is based on entrance-test score. Shortlisted applicants receive an email to book a selection slot and then attend a personal interview. The final decision is described as merit-based, with an offer letter issued to selected candidates. The portal lists selection-process centres in New Delhi, Gurugram, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Guwahati, Varanasi, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Kochi and Hyderabad. A listed centre is an available location in the notice; it is not a promise that every candidate can choose any location or date. Wait for the selection email and follow its booking instructions.
Before submitting, keep the scorecard, degree/marksheet details, experience information where applicable, photograph and signature ready in the formats asked by the online form. The portal specifically asks candidates to enter personal, academic and experience details accurately. Save the submitted application and payment confirmation. If a candidate’s qualification, test score, work experience or sponsorship situation does not fit the general instructions, seek written clarification from admissions before paying; the captured public notice does not settle every edge case.
A practical cycle checklist
- Confirm that the selected programme belongs to the 2027-29 intake and verify its individual campus and eligibility block.
- Check that the accepted test and test date match that programme’s rules; the Working Professionals route has an additional experience requirement.
- Complete the application before 15 December 2026, using the live portal’s payment amount and requested document formats.
- Monitor the registered email and phone for a shortlist and slot-booking instructions.
- Recheck the live portal for revised dates and the interview schedule before making travel or resignation plans.
- Compare the eventual offer’s programme, campus, sponsorship category and fee schedule with the current official materials before confirming a seat.
