Quick at-a-glance
St. Joseph Institute of Management, Bangalore offers a two-year Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM); applicants must use the institutes official channels to apply and verify cycle-specific rules. The Official website and the authorised application portal at contain the primary admission notices, application form and fee-payment interface.
For the 2027 intake, confirm four items before you start: the application opening and closing dates (the institute has not published 2027 dates at the time of the latest available admissions pages), the accepted entrance exams and valid test years, the exact application fee displayed on the portal, and the PGDM tuition fee and refundable caution deposit that will be stated in the 2027 fee schedule.
The institutes published reference for the prior cycle lists a total PGDM tuition of ₹10,80,000 and a refundable caution deposit of ₹20,000 (published for the 202628 batch); treat those as background figures only until SJIM confirms 2027 values.
Admission shortlisting typically uses academic records, entrance-test performance and work experience, followed by a personal interview and English-language assessment; the institutes published selection framework for the prior cycle assigns substantial weight to the interview. Prepare accurate scanned documents (Class X, XII, all undergraduate marksheets, degree certificate when available, entrance scorecards and work-experience proof) for upload through the official portal.
Verify all 2027 dates, application fee and accepted entrance-exam list on the Official website and the authorised portal before payment. Contact admissions@sjim.edu.in for clarifications.
Eligibility criteria
St. Joseph Institute of Management, Bangalore requires a recognised undergraduate degree and a consistent first-class academic record; applicants must meet the institute’s published minimum marks and follow the rules for final‑year candidates and arrears. The official PGDM admissions page should be consulted for any cycle-specific clarifications.
Below table reproduces SJIM’s published eligibility points used in its admissions guidance.
| Requirement | Published detail |
|---|---|
| Educational qualification | Bachelor’s degree from a recognised university (regular mode) |
| Minimum marks | Consistent academic record with minimum 60% in Class 10, Class 12 and graduation |
| Final‑year applicants | Final‑year students awaiting results were permitted to apply (must submit final marks/degrees as required) |
| Arrears / backlogs | Applicants with more than two arrears were advised not to apply; preference for candidates who cleared subjects in first attempt |
| Work experience | Considered in shortlisting; not mandatory for application |
Practical interpretation: if your undergraduate degree is complete or in final year, ensure your transcripts show a consistent first‑class record (the published guidance cites a 60% threshold). Applicants with multiple arrears should seek clarification from admissions before applying, since the published rule discourages applicants with more than two arrears. Report all semester marks and any cleared backlogs accurately on the form rather than using conversions or rounded figures.
eligibility: SJIM’s published admission guidance requires a recognised bachelor’s degree and a consistent first‑class record with 60% in Class 10, Class 12 and graduation; final‑year students may apply but must meet final documentation deadlines.
Refer to the PGDM admissions page for any cycle‑specific clarifications or documentary formats required by SJIM.

Provisional important dates 2027
St. Joseph Institute of Management, Bangalore applicants should treat application and selection dates for the 2027 PGDM intake as provisional until SJIM publishes an official admission notice. The institute's publicly available pages supply dates for the 2026 cycle but have not (as of the latest published updates cited below) confirmed a 2027 schedule.
Below is a concise table showing common application events, whether the item is published for the previous cycle or provisional for 2027, and how to confirm each item with SJIM.
| Event | Status (Published/Provisional) | How to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Application form opening | Provisional | Check the official SJIM admissions page and the authorised portal at admissions email admissions@sjim.edu.in |
| Application fee deadline | Provisional | Verify amount and deadline on the application portal payment page; save transaction receipts |
| Shortlisting announcement | Provisional | Monitor your registered email and the SJIM admissions page for shortlist notifications |
| Personal interview (PI) dates | Provisional | Confirm interview schedule via the application dashboard and official interview communication |
| Admission offer and fee payment deadline | Provisional | Read the admission offer carefully and follow the deadline stated in the official letter |
Interpretation: because SJIM's published 2026–28 fee and process pages were updated in 2026, applicants must not rely on those dates for 2027 without written confirmation. Start early: register on the portal, keep documents ready, and monitor the admissions page and the authorised portal frequently.
deadline: Do not rely on 2026 dates; await SJIM's official 2027 notice and observe the exact deadline printed in the admission offer.
Selection process and weightages
St. Joseph Institute of Management, Bangalore shortlists applicants using a published composite weightage that combines school and college marks, entrance-test scores, work experience and performance in personal interviews. Shortlisted candidates proceed to an interview and English-language assessment; a director-level interaction may follow for selected applicants.
Use the institute's Selection criteria page for official confirmation of the components and their weightage.
The published weightage breakdown used by SJIM is shown below.
| Component | Published weightage |
|---|---|
| Class 10 marks | 10% |
| Class 12 marks | 10% |
| Undergraduate degree marks | 10% |
| Work experience | 15% |
| All-India entrance-test score | 15% |
| Personal interview (including communication skills) | 40% |
Interpretation: the published framework places the greatest emphasis on the personal interview, which accounts for 40% of the overall score; academics and entrance-test performance together form 35% of the weight. Work experience contributes 15%, so verified professional records can materially affect shortlisting.
Shortlisting typically considers the combined academic consistency and entrance-test score before inviting candidates to the interview stage. The interview stage includes an English-language assessment and is conducted either online or on-campus depending on the schedule; the institute's admission notices specify the mode for the cycle. A further director round or director interaction is part of the published process for selected candidates and may involve parents, as indicated in SJIM's admissions guidance.
Fees, deposit and instalments
