What Should Students Know About IIM Jammu?
Indian Institute of Management Jammu (IIM Jammu) is a public management institute established by the Government of India in 2016. Its main campus is at Jagti, Jammu. The institute's flagship two-year MBA is supported by specialised programmes including MBA in Hospital Administration & Healthcare Management, the five-year IPM and other management and doctoral programmes.
IIM Jammu is no longer only a new-IIM option. Its 2025 NIRF Management rank is 35, and the institute has added multiple entry routes and specialised programmes. For MBA applicants, however, the published CAT threshold is only a PI-shortlisting floor; final selection also considers PI and profile components.
What Programmes Does IIM Jammu Offer?
IIM Jammu offers programmes for graduates, Class 12 students, working professionals and research aspirants. The most relevant routes are summarised below.
| Programme | Duration | Entry route | Student profile |
|---|---|---|---|

What Are the IIM Jammu MBA Fees for 2026-28?
The official MBA programme fee for 2026–28 is ₹22,80,756. A refundable ₹50,000 caution deposit is payable separately, while mess bills are charged as per actuals.

Who Should Choose IIM Jammu?
Choosing IIM Jammu depends on the programme, fee, admission route and the outcomes you are targeting. The published data should be read alongside your own CAT/JIPMAT profile, budget, preferred career path and campus preferences.
