Dear Student,
If you have scored 81% in Class 12 and are eyeing the BBA program at IMS Indore for the 2023-2024 batch, below is what you should know regarding fees. IMS Indore provides a BBA program that has a total fee of approximately INR 1,45,000 for the full duration of the course, which will be generally 3 years in the case of BBA alone. The fee is in instalment form, and the approximate first-year tuition fee is around INR 75,692.
Since you have a good academic background with 81%, you are eligible comfortably, as IMS demands a minimum of 50% in 10+2 to take admission. The process of admission includes entrance examinations such as CUET-UG, so be prepared accordingly.
Remember, the fee scheme can consist of some one-time fees (approximately INR 4,000 to INR 4,500) and extra costs if you choose hostel stay. IMS Indore is a government institution renowned for its excellent management education and encouraging atmosphere, which can be perfectly suitable for your career goals in business management.
Dear Student,
You may have a chance to secure admission to IMS DAVV if your CMAT 2025 percentile is 93.8 since you belong to the OBC category. The IMS Indore Cutoff for OBC Category in terms of closing rank was 211 for Round 1 of MP counselling last year. In order to achieve a rank of 211 you need a percentile score of 99 or more depending on the exam difficulty level and other factors. However, if the cutoff percentile for summer counselling rounds is lower, you might be allotted a seat at the institute.
Dear Student,
A safe percentile in CMAT 2025 for General category to get IMS DAVV is 98 percentile or above. Since the CMAT cutoff varies each for all participating institutes, the cutoff for IMS DAVV may rise or fall depending on various exam factors. Since the exam difficulty of CMAT 2025 was moderate, the cutoff may be higher than that of last year. Also, IMS DAVV generally has a very high CMAT cutoff and the same falls above the 95 percentile every year. Therefore, it is prudent to have a CMAT 2025 percentile score of 98 or above if you wish to pursue an MBA from IMS Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya.
