What is the last date to apply for IIM Bangalore Executive MBA programs?

The application cycle for IIM Bangalore’s Executive MBA (EPGP) 2026–27 batch will begin in mid-2025. While the official dates haven’t been announced yet, the institute usually follows a consistent pattern each year with three application rounds. In the last cycle, the final deadline (Round 3) was December 2, 2024.

Based on this trend, the upcoming application process is expected to start around June 2025, with the final round likely closing by late November or early December 2025. Shortlisted applicants are typically invited for interviews within a few weeks of each round’s deadline.

You can only apply in one round. While all rounds are equally competitive, applying earlier often gives you more time to plan finances, relocation, and exit from current roles. To stay updated, check the IIM Bangalore EPGP admissions portal by May or June 2025 for the official schedule.
