ITM Kharghar admission 2027: check the programme first
ITM Business School is based at Kharghar in Navi Mumbai. Its current MBA iConnect page describes a two-year, full-time MBA awarded by ITM Skills University. The university and Business School are connected, but the Business School is the campus and admissions unit applicants are choosing. ITM’s official pages also list BBA iConnect as a separate undergraduate programme.
The Business School site labels admissions for the 2027 intake open as checked on 5 November 2026. That is a status snapshot, not a closing date. The accessible pages do not give one confirmed final application deadline or round calendar. The MBA course page still shows an Early Decision date of 24 October 2026; that date has passed. Do not treat its 15% Early Decision offer as still available. Check the notice and fee terms tied to your own application before paying.
MBA eligibility and entrance tests
For MBA iConnect, the official 2027 page says applicants need a bachelor’s degree in any stream from a UGC-recognized university and at least 50% marks. Students in their final year may apply. Confirm the University’s treatment of equivalent grading and the documents needed to prove eligibility before submitting your form.
ITM describes two parts of the test route. Every MBA applicant takes the school’s online ITM Test. If you have a valid CAT, XAT, NMAT, CMAT, MAT, ATMA, CUET or MAH-CET score, the official 2027 programme page says to submit it alongside the ITM Test. These external scores supplement the school’s test; the page does not say that one replaces it. The page does not identify a CUET paper or level, or specify which exam edition is accepted, so ask admissions to confirm how your score will be evaluated for the 2027-29 batch.
The school lists no fixed CAT or CET cut-off. It says the decision considers the academic record, test performance and interview. A qualifying degree or accepted test score does not by itself guarantee an interview or admission.
BBA iConnect has a separate route
ITM also offers BBA iConnect, a three-year undergraduate management programme. The programme page describes Business Analytics, Digital Marketing & E-Commerce, and Finance & Banking as its three specializations. The Business School says MBA and BBA applicants follow separate processes and labels both admissions for 2027 open.
Do not transfer the MBA’s 50% graduation rule, internal test, or external-test list to the BBA. The accessible BBA information includes older 2026-29 cycle details, while subject pages now identify the 2027-30 programme. Those cycle labels do not establish the current BBA eligibility or application requirements. Use the current BBA application page and ask the admissions team for the 2027-30 criteria, accepted tests, application fee and deadline before you apply.
MBA application steps
The official MBA page directs applicants to the online MBA application and states an application fee of ₹1,500. After the application is reviewed, ITM shares an online test link. Applicants take the ITM Test and submit any external entrance score they hold. Shortlisted candidates attend a personal interview, either at the Kharghar campus or a regional office; the school says interview arrangements are shared with the applicant. It reports that results are announced within an hour of the interview.
Students selected for admission confirm their seat with a ₹25,000 payment, which the school says forms part of the first-year fee. Before paying, verify the amount, refund conditions and payment instructions in your offer letter. The official page describes the reservation amount as part of programme fees, not an extra fee to add on top of the quoted total.
Dates, scholarships and fees
The school’s pages show 2027 admissions open, but they do not expose a confirmed final deadline or complete round calendar in the accessible page text. The displayed Early Decision deadline, 24 October 2026, is past. Use the application acknowledgement or a dated notice from ITM for the current deadline rather than relying on that expired offer.
The MBA page lists the ITM Scholarship Entrance Test (iSET) on 19 December 2026 and says merit-based awards may cover up to 100% of tuition. Check the test registration, eligibility and award terms with the school; a maximum waiver is not a guaranteed award.
ITM says the current MBA 2027-29 year-wise fee schedule is shared directly with applicants. Hostel and mess are billed separately. A separate official PDF for the 2026-28 MBA batch lists a total programme fee of ₹13.45 lakh, but that is a historical schedule and should not be used as the 2027-29 price. Request a written itemized schedule showing tuition, deposits, hostel, mess, immersion and refund terms before comparing offers.
Questions to resolve before submitting
Ask the admissions office to confirm the deadline and selection round for your intake; the accepted exam edition and CUET paper, if applicable; when the online ITM Test must be taken; and whether any additional documents are needed for your bachelor’s marks or final-year status. If you are applying to BBA, request its separate 2027-30 eligibility and test rules instead of assuming the MBA requirements apply.
Also request the current written fee schedule and ask whether the ₹25,000 seat payment is refundable under your offer’s conditions. If you are considering iSET, check its registration process and scholarship criteria separately. Use the ITM Business School admissions page and the MBA iConnect programme page for current notices, then rely on the date and terms attached to your own application.
