    In this IIM result 2026 season, IIM Mumbai was the last one to publish their result.

    IIM Admission 2026: IIM Amritsar Retracted the IIM Admission 2026 offer saying its a glitch

    IIM Amritsar also became the center of attraction this IIM Admission session , but only for the wrong reasons. IIM Amritsar result 2026 was published around May 15, 2026 and admission offers were rolled out. However after some days , several management aspirants alleged their IIM Amritsar Admission has been removed even after they accepted the offer. IIM Amritsar sent them the mail saying that their IIM Amritsar admission offer has been cancelled , the IIM amritsar admission offer has been sent due to the glitch, nd they will be refunded the money they have sent confirming the offer. This dilemma about the IIM Amritsar admission and the retraction of the IIM Amritsar Admission offer not only created enormous pressure on the management aspirants but at the same time led to the loss of face for IIM Amritsar.
