IIM Mumbai MBA (Sustainability Management) RTI Data
This page is built around what MBA aspirants usually search for first: category-wise PI shortlist data, CAT percentile benchmark for shortlisted candidates, final offered composite score range, final offer and final acceptance counts, deep waitlist movement, and the current official 2026-28 policy snapshot for IIM Mumbai MBA-SM.
IIM Mumbai MBA-SM becomes easy to read once shortlist-stage data and final-stage data are separated properly. In the uploaded 2025-27 RTI reply, the institute explicitly states that shortlisting was not based on composite score. So this page keeps the shortlist section focused on category-wise call volume and CAT percentile band evidence, while the conversion section focuses on final offered composite score, final offers, final accepted count, and waitlist movement.
What most students want first
The clean programme-specific RTI file attached here is for MBA-SM 2025-27. I have built the main page around that file and kept the current official 2026-28 admission rules separate from the historical RTI data.
Source-reported interest number shown in the uploaded RTI reply for MBA-SM during CAT 2024.
Total category-wise shortlisted candidates visible in the uploaded MBA-SM RTI reply.
Total final offers across shown categories for MBA-SM 2025-27.
Total accepted seats shown in the uploaded reply.
Total visible waitlist offers from WL-1 to WL-18 across categories in the RTI table.
1) Application Funnel and Overall Stage Movement
This is the broad pipeline view: interest, PI shortlist, final offers, final accepts, and deferment status.
| Batch | Applications / interest | PI shortlist | Final offers | Final accepted | Deferment | Quick read |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-27 | 212913 (kept exactly as written in the RTI reply) |
3457 | 1283 | 27 | Not applicable | Offer-to-accept conversion from the shown table is about 2.10%, which signals very heavy churn before final joining. |
2) Category-wise PI Shortlist Data and CAT Percentile Benchmark
This is the main interview-call section. Use it to understand how many candidates got the call and what category-wise CAT band appeared among shortlisted candidates.

3) Shortlist Profile: Stream Mix and Special Professions
This section helps you understand who entered the shortlist pool and what kind of background diversity showed up in the RTI reply.
Engineer vs non-engineer
Engineer: 1267
Non-engineer: 2190
This adds up exactly to the shortlist total of 3457. The shortlist was clearly non-engineer heavy.
Doctor / CA / Lawyer
Doctor: 22
CA: NIL
Lawyers: 12
The profession breakout in the RTI reply is shown in a small separate table under the MBA-SM section.
About the second PDF
The other uploaded 2024-26 file is for generic IIM Mumbai MBA, not a clean MBA-SM historical RTI reply.
So it is acknowledged as uploaded context, but its category tables are not mixed into the core MBA-SM tables here.
4) What IIM Mumbai used for shortlisting and final selection
This matters because the shortlist stage and final merit stage are not being driven by the same logic in the uploaded MBA-SM RTI file.
Shortlisting was not based on composite score.
This is explicitly stated in the uploaded MBA-SM RTI reply.
CAT 2024 Percentile: 60
Personal Interview (PI): 20
Academic Performance & Work Experience (APWE): 20
Total: 100
CAT 2025 Score: 60
Personal Interview (PI): 20
Academic Performance & Work Experience Score: 20
Total: 100
5) Final Offered Composite Score Range

6) Final Offers and Final Accepted Seats

7) Waitlist Movement

2025-27 round-wise waitlist offers: WL-1 to WL-11

8) Current Official MBA-SM Policy Snapshot (2026-28)
This is the current official layer from IIM Mumbai and should be used for present-year planning. Keep it separate from the historical RTI tables above.
What MBA-SM is
IIM Mumbai describes MBA (Sustainability Management) as a full-time residential programme for graduates from all disciplines willing to build a career in sustainability management.
The official overview also positions it as a South Asia trailblazer since 2001, built around sustainability, ESG and safety-linked managerial capability.
Who can apply
Applicants need a recognised bachelor’s degree with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA, relaxed to 45% for SC, ST and PwD candidates. Final-year candidates can also apply subject to the usual completion conditions.
Fee shown on official admissions page
The current admissions page shows the gross programme fee for the two-year MBA-SM as ₹25.00 lakh plus a refundable ₹50,000 caution deposit, with mess charges separate.

FAQ
Only the practical questions students usually ask around IIM Mumbai MBA-SM RTI data.
Does this page show shortlist composite score for IIM Mumbai MBA-SM?
No. The uploaded 2025-27 MBA-SM RTI reply explicitly says shortlisting was not based on composite score. So the shortlist section is shown as shortlist counts plus CAT percentile band evidence, while the final-offer composite score is shown separately.
What should I check first on this page?
Start with the category-wise PI shortlist and CAT percentile benchmark section. Then move to the final offered composite score range, final offers, final accepted count and waitlist section to understand actual conversion depth.
Why is the second uploaded 2024-26 PDF not mixed into the main tables?
Because that file is for generic IIM Mumbai MBA 2024-26, not a clean programme-specific MBA-SM RTI reply. It is acknowledged as uploaded context, but not used as an apples-to-apples MBA-SM historical table.
Can I use these numbers to predict future calls exactly?
No. Use them as historical reference points. The current official policy, applicant quality, number of candidates called and yield behaviour can change the actual shortlist and final outcome every year.
Need this same RTI format for other MBA colleges too?
This page is structured around real MBA RTI search intent: shortlist data first, final offered score second, offers and waitlist next, and current official policy separated clearly from historical data.
