<h1>Public management institute exits Common Admission Process to run independent MBA admissions with institute-specific tests and interviews</h1> A public management institute will withdraw from the Common Admission Process and run an independent admissions process for its two-year MBA starting with the 2026-28 cohort. The institute will set its own shortlisting criteria, align admissions with institutional academic priorities and international ambitions, and administer institute-specific personal interviews and written ability tests for CAT 2025 candidates at major Indian cities and on campus. The change aims to highlight the institute's distinct strengths, streamline applicant experience, and support its stated goal of advancing global recognition and research-focused academic objectives.
