15th IIM established by GoI in 2015.
Class of 2023-25 audit-certified at 96.63% placement rate (V.V.
Bhalla & Co., Nov 2025), ₹19.11 L average top-20% CTC, ₹25.86 L highest.
Two-year flagship MBA + specialized MBA-BA, MBA-HR, EMBA, and MSc Data Science with IIT Ropar.
IIM Amritsar follows the standard IIM admissions pipeline: a valid CAT score, followed by an Application Rating-based shortlist, followed by WAT-PI (Written Ability Test + Personal Interview). The school accepts CAT for all three flagship programmes — MBA, MBA-BA (Business Analytics), and MBA-HR — and applicants can typically opt for multiple within a single application.
You have a CAT score in the 88-95+ percentile band, a strong academic record (Class 10/12/Bachelor's in the 80%+ range), and your target post-MBA function is Finance, Consulting, or Tech/Analytics — the three buckets that absorbed 73% of Class 22-24 placements. The ₹21.50 L 2-year fee + 96.63% placement rate (audit-certified) makes the ROI workable. Particularly strong fit for non-male / non-engineering candidates who can leverage diversity weighting.
You are competitive for IIM Indore/Kozhikode/Lucknow (CAT 96+ percentile, strong academics) — the median outcome at those schools is materially higher and the brand-strength gap is real. Also skip if you specifically need pure-play marketing/brand careers (15% of Class 22-24, not a dominant focus) or if a finance-light placement skew matters (35% Finance is high for some candidates, low for others).
