December 23 is the date to circle. The Indian Institute of Management Kashipur has opened applications for its two-year Executive MBA (EMBA) 2027-29 batch, and the online application window closes on December 23, 2026. This one is aimed squarely at working professionals who want an IIM degree without quitting their jobs.

The most useful detail for many applicants is the entrance route. CAT or GMAT scores from the last two years are accepted, and candidates who hold neither can take the Executive Management Aptitude Test (EMAT) instead, the institute’s own aptitude test scheduled for December 26, 2026. Shortlisted candidates then face a personal interview on December 27, just one day after the test.

Who can apply

A bachelor’s degree with at least 50% marks is the academic bar, plus at least three years of full-time work experience after graduation, in managerial, professional or entrepreneurial roles. Selection rests on the entrance exam result (CAT/GMAT from the last two years or EMAT), the personal interview, the academic record and work experience.

Classes run in blended mode with online sessions and campus immersion, so the format fits around a full-time job. The total fee comes to about Rs 12 lakh across the two years, covering tuition, admission charges and a caution deposit.

Key dates at a glance

Treat the last week of December as one block. The application portal closes on December 23, the EMAT follows on December 26, and the personal interview sits on December 27. Candidates travelling to Kashipur for the test route should plan the trip around all three dates.

How to apply

Applications are fully online and must be completed before the December 23 deadline. Head to the official EMBA admissions portal, register with a valid email ID and mobile number, and fill in your academic and professional details. You will need to upload scanned copies of your degree certificates, work experience proof and ID documents, so it pays to have your application documents ready before you start. Pay the application fee online, submit, and download the confirmation page. The deadline is fixed, so treat December 23 as the last working day.

Keep an eye on the IIM Kashipur website for the EMAT admit card and interview call letters after the deadline closes.
