The dates for IIT Delhi’s next MBA cycle are out. The Department of Management Studies has put its MBA 2027 admission schedule on its official portal, and the online application window opens on November 30, 2026. The deadline to submit the form is January 25, 2027.

Two programmes run under this schedule. There is the regular MBA (Full Time) and the MBA with specialisation in Telecommunication Systems Management, the department’s long-running telecom-focused course. Both are two-year, full-time programmes at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.

Who can apply

Applicants need a bachelor’s degree of at least three years from a university recognised by the UGC, with a minimum of 60% aggregate marks across all years or semesters, or 6.00 CGPA on a 10-point scale. SC, ST and PwD candidates get the standard 5% relaxation, which brings the bar down to 55% or 5.50 CGPA. Final-year students whose results are still awaited can apply provisionally, provided they meet the degree requirement at the time of joining.

One detail worth flagging: the eligibility page on the department’s portal still carries last cycle’s entrance-test reference. As of now, reporting from Collegedunia puts the requirement at a valid CAT 2026 score, which fits the timeline, since the application window opens right after the CAT exam season. Candidates should check the portal when it goes live on November 30 for the final wording.

The fee and how to apply

The total tuition fee for the programme is Rs 12 lakh for the two years, paid in four equal semester installments of Rs 3 lakh. Hostel residence and other institute charges are billed on top of that.

Applications go through the online portal at dms.iitd.ac.in once it opens on November 30. Candidates will need their academic certificates and their CAT registration details ready before the January 25 deadline. Our admission documents checklist covers the marksheets, certificates and ID proofs Indian universities usually ask for, so it is worth getting that folder in order now rather than in the last week of January. Candidates weighing DMS against other management schools can also work through how to choose a university in India before they commit to the Rs 12 lakh fee.
