First IIM Udaipur. Then IIM Amritsar. Now PGDBA 2026 Offers Revoked: Why MBA Admissions Facing So Many Errors

Why Was the ISI, IIT Kharagpur and IIM Calcutta PGDBA Result 2026 Revoked?

The PGDBA course is offered jointly by IIM Calcutta, ISI Kolkata and IIT Kharagpur, As per IIM Calcutta official website, this year the responsibility of this course was on ISI Kolkata. This year, the PGDBA 2026 result was announced on May 19, 2026 and the list of selected candidates were published.

However, after almost three weeks, on June 08, 2026, in an update, it was announced that the entire PGDBA course results were cancelled.

The update also stated that the PGDBA result was cancelled due to “an oversight on assigning POINTS corresponding to class-XII marks and work experience to calculate the final score.”

On the same day, ISI Kolkata again announced the PGDBA result 2026 with the revised list and mentioning that PGDBA admission 2026 will be carried out based on the new rectified list.

PGDBA Admission Revocation: Who Should Be Held Accountable?

As per the published PGDBA selected candidates list, there are a total 65 seats as per the GOI reservation norms. Now if one looks at both the selected candidates list, one will find that at least 7 candidates who were selected in the previous PGDBA list failed to find a place in the rectified list.

Now think about this, there is a possibility that after the release of the first result, these 7 students might have withdrawn from the other institution for taking PGDBA admission 2026. The PGDBA course fee was 25.0 LPA last year. Not everyone has the ability to bear the cost, what if they would have taken the student loan believing that their admission has been confirmed. Now almost after a month, their career is now at jeopardy.

Now here is the question: who will take the accountability? Is just putting up the notice and publishing the rectified lists puts all the things under the carpet? When students make mistakes they bear the consequences but when the reputed institutions like IIM C, ISI Kolkata, and IIT Kharagpur do that which affect students career, finances and future plan then who takes the responsibility?

IIM Amritsar Retracts Offers, Cites Technical Glitch

IIM Amritsar also became the center of discussion for this MBA admission 2026 session, and 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 reported that their IIM Amritsar admission offers have been retracted even after they accepted the offer.

IIM Amritsar sent them the mail saying that their IIM Amritsar admission offer has been cancelled, these offers were sent due to technical glitch, and they will be refunded the money they have sent confirming the offer.
