IIM Bangalore Waitlist Movement 2025: Conclusion

Due to its high acceptance rate and priority for qualified applicants, IIM Bangalore, one of the best IIMs, has a significantly slower waitlist movement than the newer or lower-ranked ones. Its waitlist movement is marginally better than IIM-A's, but it still shows a substantial proportion of applicants turning down offers or moving to other institutions. April 21, 2025, marks the release of the IIM Bangalore 2025 results on IIM Bangalore's official website, and the email notifications must have been sent to the candidates' registered email IDs.

Congratulations to those who have made it, and good luck to those who still have chances and need to wait for the IIM Bangalore Waitlist Movement 2025.
