Century Business Media subscription categories explained
- QIB — qualified institutional buyers (mutual funds, banks, FIIs).
- Individual investors — since July 2025 an SME application is exactly two lots (above Rs 2 lakh); this category replaced the old retail bucket and is allotted by lottery when oversubscribed.
- NII — individuals and others bidding more than two lots. The exchange's own table may still print the older labels.
How subscription affects Century Business Media allotment and GMP
The more the retail portion is oversubscribed, the lower each applicant's odds — allotment becomes a lottery for one lot. GMP is unofficial and volatile — never a forecast. See Century Business Media's GMP page and how allotment works in allotment tips.

Century Business Media is subscribed 1.43x on BSE as of 16 Sep 2026, 02:22 IST (BSE). The table on this page breaks that down by QIB, NII and retail.
Does high subscription mean I will get Century Business Media allotment?
No — the opposite. Heavy retail oversubscription means allotment is by lottery, so your odds fall. High subscription signals demand, but does not improve your individual allotment chance.
