Admission Policy for PGP 2023-25 batch

Admission Policy

Post Graduate Program (PGP) is a master’s 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 interview (PI) 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 interview and final selection at any point of time till the admission of the 2023-25 batch completed.

I. Shortlisting candidates for Personal Interview (PI)

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.

Table 1: Tentative Minimum Cut-offs of CAT-2022 Percentile for Personal Interview process 2023

IIM Raipur’s Admission Committee will decide the PGP programme requirements for the Institute and the final number of candidates who would be called for the PI process on the basis of criteria prepared for each category. However, if the actual number of short-listed candidates is found to be less (or more) than the required number of candidates to be called for PI category-wise, then the overall as well as section-wise minimum score, would be reduced (or increased) to get the desired number of candidates.

II. Final Selection
