The primary objective of this collaboration was to optimally use the limited resources during the initial years of the institute, and to provide candidates with a convenient option to avoid multiple interviews during the admission season. However, with the introduction of this new and independent admission process, IIM Sambalpur has opted to conduct its MBA admissions process independently similar to the earlier generation IIMs, allowing prospective candidates to be directly interviewed by the institute. Our aim is to offer a more tailored and seamless experience for applicants, in alignment with our vision to nurture talent and foster innovation.”
