Introduction
UGAT participating colleges are the universities and institutes that accept scores from AIMA’s Under Graduate Aptitude Test for admission into BBA, BCA, BHM, B.Com, and Integrated MBA programs. The All India Management Association (AIMA) conducts UGAT and separately publishes the official list of participating institutes through its own resources portal.
Therefore, before shortlisting a college on reputation alone, it helps to know exactly which institutes AIMA has confirmed as participants and to check placement claims directly against each college’s own disclosures.
Official AIMA-Published List of Participating Institutes
AIMA’s own resources portal hosts a state-wise list of UGAT participating institutes, each identified with an official AIMA institute code, city, state, and website.
The most recent full list available directly from AIMA’s resources subdomain names 45 institutes across 18 states. A representative selection is shown below; note that AIMA updates this list annually, so candidates should always cross-check the current cycle’s list on aima.in before applying.

What Official College Websites Say About Placements
Checking placement claims directly against a college’s own website matters, since third-party figures often vary. BML Munjal University, for instance, discloses its placement structure through a dedicated Career Guidance & Development Centre and publishes its NIRF-submitted data directly on its site; per its own NIRF disclosure, BML ranked 77th nationally in the NIRF Management category for 2025 (NIRF 2025).
Similarly, Alliance University runs a Career Advancement and Networking (CAN) cell, described on its own site as responsible for corporate mentorship, recruiter engagement, and structured placement support across its schools.
Both universities publish year-wise NIRF submission PDFs directly on their websites, which is the most verifiable placement disclosure available, since NIRF submissions are audited institutional data rather than promotional claims.
Have Any Doubts?
Why Official Verification Matters for Placement Claims
AIMA itself flags this concern directly in its UGAT information page: candidates are explicitly advised to recheck a participating institute’s recognition and approval status directly with that institute, since AIMA has encountered cases where a college’s UGAT participation did not match what was later confirmed at the admission stage.
Consequently, the same caution applies to placement figures. A college’s own NIRF disclosure PDF, usually linked from its official rankings or placements page, remains the most reliable public source, since it is submitted to a government ranking body under a defined format rather than written for marketing purposes.

Conclusion
UGAT participating colleges span a wide range of universities, and AIMA’s own published list remains the only authoritative starting point for confirming which institutes currently accept the score.
Placement records, however, are best verified through each college’s own NIRF disclosure rather than promotional claims, since that data follows a standardized, audited format. If you would like help comparing your shortlisted UGAT colleges against verified placement data, Career Plan B’s counselling team can guide you through the decision.
