International students must take the GMAT instead of the CAT. The candidate must have successfully completed the GMAT within four years (till March 31) in order to be considered for admission into the academic year course.

IIM Raipur previously offered a PGP (Postgraduate Program in Management) but modified it to an MBA to conform to international norms before 2021.

IIM Raipur offers top MBA programs to aspirants. Thousands apply for the CAT exam each year, but only a select few are accepted into the IIMs. Management and business abilities are taught in MBA programs. Management in any organisation, whether private, public or owned by the public sector, can benefit greatly from management teachings. The institute previously offered a PGP (Postgraduate Program in Management) but modified it to an MBA to conform to international norms before 2021. The PGP is a residential program for two years. IIM Raipur offers a general management degree, so first-year students have the opportunity to investigate every facet of management before settling on a professional path. IIM Raipur is placed 14th in the NIRF Ranking 2022.

This program only has a very small number of seats available, and those numbers may change every academic year. Approximately 335 students are enrolled in the class of 2022, which is an annual trend.

Eligibility and Criteria

Candidates must hold a bachelor's degree in any subject and pass the CAT exam with an overall percentile cut-off and sectional cut-offs in order to be considered for the domestic student quota. A personal interview is scheduled if the candidate has met the requirements (PI). The removal of the GD component in view of the pandemic from the selection criteria has increased the weight of PI. When determining the final merit list, other considerations are taken into account, including:

  • Work Experience
  • Gender Diversity
  • Course Variety
  • Class 10 scores
  • Class 12 scores

International students must take the GMAT instead of the CAT. The candidate must have successfully completed the GMAT within four years (till March 31) in order to be considered for admission into the academic year course. The remaining steps are the same.
