IIM Admission Result Status Update (May 2026)

Body

It is currently May 4, 2026. You are looking at the final stretch of the MBA admission cycle. The institutions you listed are indeed among the last few expected to declare their final merit lists.

Most of the "old" IIMs (Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Lucknow, Kozhikode) have already released their results or are doing so this week. The institutes you mentioned Indore, Mumbai, Raipur, Trichy, Bodh Gaya, Sirmaur, Sambalpur, and Jammu are largely expected to release their final outcomes between May 7 and May 12, 2026.

Specifically, the institutes participating in the Common Admission Process (CAP) and Joint Admission Process (JAP) typically sync their announcements for the second week of May.

ย 

The results for the remaining IIMs are generally expected around the following timeline:

  • CAP & JAP Participating IIMs: Results for the CAP (including Bodh Gaya, Jammu, Sirmaur, etc.) and JAP clusters are anticipated between May 9 and May 10, 2026.

  • Independent IIMs: Colleges like IIM Indore and IIM Mumbai follow their own independent schedules, generally landing in the May 8โ€“12 window

ย 

Ensure you check both your registered email (including the spam/promotions folders) and the official admission portals of these specific institutes using your CAT credentials. Don't rely solely on portal updates, as official offer emails are the primary notification method. If you are waitlisted, monitor the waitlist movement threads on professional forums closely, as movement tends to be volatile in the first two weeks post-result.

    Iโ€™m in the same boat. Iโ€™ve given up on the top 3, just hoping to get into one of the newer IIMs to start my MBA journey this year. Good luck to everyone here

    The wait is brutal! Iโ€™ve already accepted a seat at a Tier-2 institute just in case, but Iโ€™m still praying for a conversion from the CAP cluster. Fingers crossed for everyone.

    Checking my email every 15 minutes is becoming my full-time job. Does anyone know if IIM Indore usually sends out waitlist numbers immediately or is that a separate update?
