MBA Form 2027: IIT, IIM & Non-IIMs Application Form Dates

MBA Form 2027

MBA Forms 2027 are being released by IIMs, IITs, and leading private B-schools for admission to the 2027–29 MBA batch. Candidates planning to pursue an MBA through CAT, XAT, NMAT, SNAP, or other management entrance exams must keep track of both entrance exam registrations and individual college application forms.

While some institutes consider the entrance exam registration as part of the admission process, several top MBA colleges require candidates to fill out a separate application form. For example, registering for CAT does not automatically complete the application process for colleges such as FMS Delhi, SPJIMR, MDI Gurgaon, or several IIT B-schools.

Similarly, candidates appearing for SNAP may have to apply separately to the Symbiosis institutes they wish to join. Therefore, checking the MBA college-wise application deadlines is important to avoid missing an admission opportunity.

For the 2027–29 admission cycle, CAT 2026 registration started on August 3, while XAT 2027 registration opened on July 15. NMAT and SNAP registrations also have their own schedules.
