IIM Mumbai MBA in Operations & Supply Chain Management (MBA-OSCM): Overview
MBA-OSCM is IIM Mumbai's specialised two-year programme for candidates aiming to build management careers in operations, supply chain, manufacturing, procurement, logistics and allied functions.
This page focuses on the information students usually need before applying: eligibility, entrance route, selection process, fee structure and officially published placement outcomes.
Eligibility Criteria
The current official eligibility requires a full-time Engineering/Technology degree in any branch with at least 50% marks (45% for SC/ST/PwD), or specified quantitative degrees such as M.Sc. Mathematics/Statistics, eligible dual degrees, or BS/B.Tech Economics as listed by the institute.
Entrance Exam & Cutoff / Shortlisting
CAT is required for the current domestic admission route.
Where the institute does not publish a fixed programme-level final cutoff, this page does not invent one. Minimum eligibility and actual shortlist competitiveness are different.
Admission & Selection Process
Selection is based on IIM Mumbai's published admission process for the relevant batch. The final process should be interpreted from the official policy rather than assuming the flagship MBA criteria apply unchanged.

Do not compare salary figures without checking programme coverage. Combined placement reports are useful, but they must not be presented as programme-specific outcomes when the institute has not separated the data.
Who Should Consider This Programme?

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main factors students should compare before applying?
Eligibility, entrance route, selection criteria, fee structure, programme format and the coverage of the official placement report should be compared together.
Is the published cutoff enough to guarantee admission?
No. A qualifying threshold or minimum eligibility level is usually only the first filter. Final admission depends on the institute's complete selection process.
Are placement figures always programme-specific?
No. Some institutes publish combined placement reports for multiple programmes. This page labels combined data accordingly and does not present it as programme-specific unless officially separated.
