The 2026 landscape
What sits behind every institute profile in this catalogue.
India runs one of the largest management-education systems in the world. For the 2026 session, AICTE and the university regulators between them approve over 5,500 management institutes offering the MBA or PGDM, with a combined intake of roughly 4.5 lakh seats.
Those seats span the 21 IIMs, central and state universities, autonomous private institutes and deemed-to-be universities — alongside the NLUs for law, NIFT and NID for design, and the IHMs for hotel management. Admission to most postgraduate management programmes is driven by a handful of national entrance tests: above all CAT, with XAT, NMAT, SNAP and CMAT close behind.
Choosing the right institute depends on far more than your percentile — fees, location, the placement report, faculty, industry exposure and any service agreement attached to a sponsored or subsidised seat all matter. Use the guide below to weigh every factor before you lock your counselling choices.

Behind the listing
A seat at IIM Indore or SPJIMR is ₹15–40 lakh and two years of your life. So the catalogue above is built to be argued with — starting with how we quote a salary.
How we report placements
Half the batch signs at or above this figure.
One international offer in a batch of 400 — 0.25%.
Bars show the share of the batch reaching each figure — not the size of the cheque.
Ranks, seats and fees are reconciled against AICTE, UGC, NIRF and state counselling filings — then re-checked each cycle, not scraped once and left to rot.
Tuition, hostel, mess, caution deposit and one-time charges — the complete two-year figure for IIM Indore or SIBM Pune before you commit a rupee.
CAT, XAT, NMAT, SNAP, CLAT, AILET and NID DAT closing percentiles per institute, split by category, with last cycle's waitlist movement.
No institute pays to rank higher here. MDI Gurgaon sits above a client if the data says so, and the ones we would not recommend stay on the page.
Institutional and management-quota seats through the published process, documented end to end — from form to fee receipt in the institute's own name.
