Post Graduate Programme in Management

Post Graduate Program (PGP) is a master level full-time residential program at IIM Raipur. IIM Raipur is part of Common Admission Process 2023. The admission for this program follows two-stage process, namely, shortlisting candidates for personal appearance (PA) and final selection. Selection of candidates is based on the Final composite score under each category (General, EWS, NC-OBC, SC, and ST).

This admission policy applies only to the PGP selection process for 2023-25 batch. Please note that IIM Raipur reserves the rights to modify the shortlisting criteria for personal appearance and final selection at any point of time till the admission of the 2023-25 batch completed.

I. Shortlisting candidates for Personal Appearance (PA)

The shortlisting of the candidates for PI is based on the percentile obtained in CAT 2022. There are three sections in CAT exam, namely, ‘Quantitative Aptitude' (QA), ‘Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning' (DILR) and ‘Verbal and Reading Comprehension' (VRC). The minimum cut-offs of CAT percentile required in each section and overall percentile for shortlisting candidates is indicated in Table 1.

* Only relevant work experience after graduation in terms of completed months will be considered. Candidate should ensure that the work experience claimed by the candidate is authentic and professionally significant enough to deserve credit. For instance, no consideration is given to any time spent as an intern, either during or after the course of study in a programme, or any periods of apprenticeship such as articleship required as part of certain professional courses, or any unpaid work undertaken in any organization or institution.
The work experience will be verified based on the relevant documents (including experience certificate, appointment or reliving letter, first and last month pay slips, bank statement etc), which needs to be mandatorily produced by the candidate at the time of PA and subsequent admission related process. Note that the work experience certificate should be furnished on a letter head of the employer organisation, should carry a seal of the employer and be duly affirmed by the authorized signatory.

Upon such verification, if it is found that some or all of the claims made are factually untrue, such candidate’s may be disqualified from being considered for admission to IIM Raipur. After a candidate joins the PGP at IIM Raipur, if it comes to the institute notice reliably that the candidate had made claims that cannot be substantiated as factual and correct, the candidate is liable to be expelled from the programme forthwith. In the event of such expulsion, the candidate will forfeit any fees paid until such expulsion.

Have a question related to IIM Raipur ?

is it possible to convert iim Raipur or Shillong or iit roorkee with 91.98 percentile if I am a non engineer fresher from ews category

Hello,

With a 91.98 percentile in CAT and being a non-engineer fresher from the EWS category , you have a decent chance for IIM Shillong and IIM Raipur , but it will depend on various factors like:

1. If you have strong 10th and 12th marks, it will help.

2. Being a non-engineer can be an advantage since many IIMs give extra points for academic diversity.

3. This increases your chances, as the cutoff for EWS is generally lower than the general category.

4. As a fresher, you might lose some points, but if other factors are strong, it can balance out.

5. Even if you get a call, converting it will depend on your performance in the WAT-PI round .

For IIT Roorkee (DOMS) , your chances are quite high , as their cutoff for EWS candidates is usually around this range.

Hope it helps !

The Indian Institute Of Managements(IIMs) do not have fixed seat allocations for their Post Graduate Programme(PGP) as their student intake keeps on changing every year. Specifically, for IIM Raipur, the student intake for the batch of 2021-23 was 262, and for the batch of 2022-24, it is 325. The number is expected to rise with each subsequent batch.

Ashish, IIMs do not accept MAT scores. Admission to IIMs is only done through CAT scores followed by WAT and PI rounds. There are many other colleges in India which accept MAT scores such as:

  • UPES, Dehradun
  • SPJIMR, Mumbai
  • Christ University
  • VIT, Vellore
  • NIT Wrangal
  • New Delhi Institute of Management
