IIM Bangalore Recruitment 2026: Manager - Admissions Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly experienced professionals with a strong background in engineering (First Class) and preferably a postgraduate degree in management. Candidates must possess a minimum of 10 years' experience in admissions management within higher education, demonstrating strong analytical, technical, communication, and leadership skills. The ability to manage complex, end-to-end admissions cycles, including compliance and digital systems, in a high-pressure environment is crucial. Fluency in English, Hindi, and Kannada will be an advantage.

Individuals lacking the stipulated minimum 10 years of relevant admissions experience, particularly those without exposure to higher education admissions processes, should not apply. Candidates without a First Class Engineering graduate degree or those seeking a permanent, non-contractual position may find this opportunity unsuitable. Inability to meet strict timelines or manage complex workflows effectively would also be a significant challenge.

Working as Manager - Admissions at IIM Bangalore, an Institute of National Importance, offers significant professional prestige and an opportunity to contribute to one of Asia's leading management schools. This role involves managing a critical function that directly impacts the Institute's reputation and student intake quality. While contractual, it provides exposure to best practices in higher education administration and offers potential for renewal based on performance, contributing to robust career growth in institutional management within a top-tier academic environment.
