Admission to IRMA is now based on the scores obtained in the CAT, XAT, or CMAT exams. Candidates who qualify are invited to attend the Personal Interview conducted at the IRMA center for final admission.

IRMA shortlists candidates using their CAT 2024, XAT 2025, or CMAT 2025 scores. Shortlisted candidates are then called for the IRMASAT (IRMASAT) – an online admission test focused on “Issues of Social Concern.” This test consists of 40 questions, which candidates must complete in 1 hour and 20 minutes. The section evaluates the candidates’ awareness and understanding of significant social issues and socio-economic factors.
