Round 1 of IIMA's two-year blended MBA in Business Analytics and AI closes on 2 November 2026. Round 2 opens the next day.
IIM Ahmedabad is admitting its second batch (2027-29) to the two-year MBA-BPGP in Business Analytics & Artificial Intelligence, offered in blended mode with live online sessions and on-campus modules.
The Round 1 application portal opened on September 05, 2026 and the last date to submit the final application with fee is November 02, 2026. Round 2 opens on November 03, 2026 and closes on December 20, 2026.

Eligibility: work experience is counted as on March 31, 2027. You can apply with a CAT, GMAT or GRE score from the previous five years, with test dates not prior to January 01, 2022, or you can take the IIMA Admission Test instead.
Fees: the application fee is Rs. 2000 if you apply with a CAT, GMAT or GRE score, and Rs. 5000 if you apply through the IIMA Admission Test. The total programme fee is Rs. 21,00,000, with a non-refundable first commitment fee of Rs. 1,00,000.
One caution: IIMA's main timeline gives the Round 1 submission date as November 02, 2026 while an FAQ table on the same page gives November 22, 2026. Treat 2 November as the deadline and confirm with the admissions office if you need the later date.
