IIM Raipur PGPM Course Structure
Year 1 is core courses across three terms, with a rural immersion module inside the first year. You then do a summer internship before year 2 starts. Year 2 is electives across terms 4, 5 and 6. Every student takes the same core courses in year 1, so you pick nothing until year 2.

IIM Raipur PGPM Hostel and Campus
The hostel room rent is INR 23,500 a term and the mess is INR 16,620 a term. Both are paid with the term fee, so the cost is fixed for you and is not a market rent. The programme is residential, so you live on campus for two years. The campus is at Naya Raipur, the planned city next to Raipur.

Should you pick PGPM at IIM Raipur?
This course suits students who want a full-time MBA from a government IIM and can live on a campus outside a big city for two years.
Pick it if:
You want a sales or marketing job: sales and marketing roles took 32% of the last batch, the biggest share of any role group here.
You want the fee back fast: the full fee is INR 18.67 Lakhs and the average pay is INR 20.70 LPA, so the fee comes back inside a year.
You want to pay in parts: the fee is taken term by term, six times over the two years, and never in one go.
You are short of a General call: the EWS, NC-OBC, SC and ST call cutoffs sit well below it in the same joint process.
Skip it if:
You are counting on a top offer: the batch has 336 students, so the median sits far below the highest offer and the last students wait longest.
You want a big city campus: the campus is at Naya Raipur, so most jobs come in the placement season, not from walk-in internships.
You cannot live on campus: the programme is residential and the room rent is charged with every term fee.
You want an older brand: the institute took its first batch in 2010, so its alumni base is younger and smaller than at the older IIMs.
Counsellor's advice
If you want a marketing or analytics job and a fee you can pay back in about a year, take this seat. If you are holding out for a big city campus, keep a safer college above it.

In short
IIM Trichy costs more and its average pay is lower, but its batch is bigger and its top offer is higher. If both call you, IIM Raipur is the cheaper seat with the better average.
In short
IIM Ranchi charges more, and its mess is inside that fee. If you want a smaller batch, take IIM Ranchi; if you want the higher average pay, stay with IIM Raipur.
In short
IIM Kashipur costs more and its last reported average pay is well below this one. If IIM Raipur calls you, take it and keep IIM Kashipur as your backup.
In short
IIM Udaipur is the costliest seat here and pays less on average, though its top offer is higher. If you are paying the fee yourself, IIM Raipur is the safer choice.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

IIM Raipur: 3 Answered Questions
Does IIM Raipur provide a digital marketing course?
Saija LuthraStudied at IIM RAIPUR
The growth of digital technology, particularly the widespread use of computers and smartphones, has led businesses to experiment with new marketing methods, resulting in the emergence of digital marketing. Today, Digital Marketing is just as important, if not more so, than traditional marketing approaches and this gap is likely to widen over time as organizations shift their marketing budgets from traditional to digital channels.
It is crucial for companies to develop and implement an effective digital marketing strategy. One option for gaining the necessary skills and knowledge is through digital marketing training programs. Digital Vidya is one of the most reputable digital marketing training institutes in India and abroad, offering a range of digital marketing courses for a variety of audiences, including beginners, working professionals, and business owners. These programs include an up-to-date curriculum, 100% practical exposure through internships and employment opportunities, and real-world assignments.
Entrepreneurs can benefit from digital marketing by launching their own online business with a modest investment, targeting specific audiences based on time and day of the week, and having complete control over advertising spending, which can lead to a high return on investment. Job seekers can improve their chances of landing their dream job by gaining digital marketing skills and working professionals can improve their marketing skills and earn money online as part-time freelancers. The predicted growth in digital marketing jobs between 2019 and 2022, with an estimated 35+ lakhs available, opens up opportunities for professionals to be placed in top multinational corporations.
IIM Raipur also offers an Executive Certificate Program in Digital Marketing and Social Media Strategy. It is a 5-month certificate program that provides an up-to-date, in-depth understanding of the rapidly evolving field of digital marketing. The course covers the technical and behavioral principles of digital marketing tactics, online customer behavior, and the investigation of issues related to company practices, allowing participants to develop powerful digital marketing strategies. The program is open to graduates or diploma holders (10+2+3) from recognized institutions in any field, and international participants need a graduate or equivalent degree from a recognized university or institution and proficiency in English, both spoken and written.
What are your suggestions regarding the FPM course in IIM Raipur?
Arshit JainStudied at IIM Raipur
It is recommended to apply to a variety of institutions including all the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and some reputable management schools within the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) such as IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi.
It is important to keep in mind that IIM Raipur is a relatively new institute and its infrastructure for research is still in the process of development. Additionally, the faculty at IIM Raipur may have a high turnover rate, which can be a concern for doctoral students. Having a larger faculty pool to work with can provide more opportunities for mentorship and guidance throughout the program. In addition, having a stable advisor is crucial for the doctoral program, if the advisor leaves it may cause inconvenience and delay in the research work.
Therefore, it is suggested to consider the established doctoral programs, which are known to have a strong infrastructure and a stable faculty pool. This will provide the best opportunities for a successful and productive doctoral experience.
Is there any opinion about the Uptop certification on cyber security in association with IIM Raipur?
Devasheesh DewanganPGP from Indian Institute of Management Raipur (Graduated 2019)
Yes, I do have an opinion regarding the same. This course is the most unprofessional and unreliable course I have come across. People who are looking for better job opportunities need to stay away from this course. This is because the course offers everything but job assistance. You cannot depend on this course and expect offers from companies after completing the program. The brochure provided initially, the various job opportunities are mentioned which is quite misleading.
The course is conducted by the IIM Raipur faculty itself. UpTop has not much connection with the students at all. People join this course eager to switch domains or change jobs. But this course fails to help in any of this. The course is just a source of making free money and misleading people. So if you or anyone you know is going for this course, please stop them before they fall into the pit.
