## Who can apply

- Availability: restricted
- Eligible: Applicants admitted through CAT 2025 and the JAP 2026 interview process (domestic route)
- Eligible: Indian and foreign nationals who lived, worked or studied outside India throughout 2025 (overseas category, GMAT route)
- Restriction: Overseas category only: applicants must have lived, worked or studied outside India from 1 January to 31 December 2025; foreign nationality alone does not qualify.
- Restriction: Overseas category only: a candidate expected to be present or residing in India on the CAT 2025 date, 30 November 2025, was excluded from that category.
- Restriction: Both routes belong to the 2026-28 batch, which is closed; no 2027-29 PGPM or PGPM-HR dates or rules were published on the admissions pages checked.

Two routes exist: domestic selection by CAT percentile and interview, and the overseas route by GMAT and virtual interview. The institute's domestic pages state no nationality or minimum degree-mark rule, so none is asserted here.
