Try this...

NSString *dateString = @"27-Jan-2018 00:00";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setLocale:[NSLocale localeWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US_POSIX"]];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm"];
NSDate *dateFromString = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
NSLog(@"%@",dateFromString);

Assuming the strings will always use English month names, you also need to set the date formatter's locale to `en_US_POSIX`. – rmaddy Jan 31 '18 at 07:05

Please, check it below code. Maybe its work for you and your needs.

 -(void)DateChange

 {

  NSString *Input_Date =@"31-Jan-18 04:25 AM";

  NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
 [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MMM-yy hh:mm a"];

  NSDate * Format_date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:Input_Date];
 [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MMM-yy hh:mm a"];
  NSString *Change_date = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:Format_date];
  NSLog(@"Final Change Date :-  %@",Change_date);

 }



My Output is :- 
Final Change Date :- 31-Jan-18 04:25 AM
