IIM Raipur Admission FAQs

Short answers to what students ask before they apply.

Do I need a separate IIM Raipur form for the MBA?▾
No. Choosing IIM Raipur in your CAT 2026 form is enough for the first stage. After the CAT result, watch your email for the joint portal invite and register before its last date.
Is the joint portal registration an interview call?▾
No. It only puts you in the pool for the shortlist. The interview call comes later by a separate email, so keep checking your inbox and the portal.
How are my Class 10 marks turned into points?▾
You get 15 points for 95% or more, 12 for 90%, 10 for 85% and 8 for 80%. Below 60%, you get nothing. Class 12 uses the same scale.
How many months of work get the most points?▾
36 to 42 complete months get all 15 points. You start getting points at 12 months. After 48 months, the points drop to 5, so long work is not always better.
Which work does IIM Raipur not count?▾
Internships, articleship, part time work, unpaid work and work before your degree result are not counted. Pay in cash or by UPI is not counted either. Family business work does not count.
What proof of work should I keep ready?▾
Keep proof of TDS, PF or professional tax for your job. You also need the experience letter or offer and relieving letters. Bring the originals to the interview.
Who gets the gender diversity marks?▾
Women and transgender students get 8 marks. If you get these marks, you cannot also get the 2 academic diversity marks.
Which degrees get the academic diversity marks?▾
Commerce, economics, arts, law, design, CA, CMA, CS, MBBS and most science degrees are on the list. Engineering is not. A man with a B.Com, for example, gets 2 marks.
How do I get the profile marks?▾
You get 4 marks if your college is in the top ten of its NIRF 2025 list. You get 1 more mark if you have cleared any CFA level.
My board gives only grades. How is my percentage worked out?▾
IIM Raipur adds the marks of all subjects on your marksheet, even if your board leaves some out. Keep the full marksheet ready for the interview day.
Can I join if my final year result comes late?▾
Yes, for now. The 2026 batch had to give a completion certificate by 30 Jun and the final marksheet by 30 Sep 2026. If you miss it, your seat is cancelled.
Is the APAAR ID really needed?▾
Yes. The joint form for the 2026 batch made the APAAR ID a must. Make it through your college or DigiLocker before January.
Will IIM Raipur tell me my interview marks?▾
No. Interview marks are not shared with anyone, to keep the panels free from pressure. You see your result on your own login.
Can I ask IIM Raipur to hold my seat for next year?▾
No. IIM Raipur does not allow a seat to move to the next year. If you cannot join, you must apply again with a new CAT score.
What does PwD need for the MBA?▾
You need a valid UDID card, and your disability must be a benchmark disability under the 2016 Act. Keep the card ready for the interview.
Where do MBA students live?▾
MBA students live on the Atal Nagar campus in twin sharing rooms. Lodging is in the term fee, but mess is paid on its own.
Does the MBA have a rural module?▾
Yes. The 2026-28 fee has a rural immersion module of INR 7,000 in term 3. Plan for some days of field work in a village.
Can someone from outside Chhattisgarh join the Public Policy MBA?▾
No. Only Chhattisgarh domicile students can apply. You must upload the domicile certificate with the form and show the original at the interview.
Which CAT score can I use for the Public Policy MBA?▾
For the 2026 batch, a score from the last three CAT exams was accepted. If you took CAT more than once, you must give your highest score.
Which category papers count for the Public Policy MBA?▾
Your SC, ST, NC-OBC or PwD certificate must be issued by the Chhattisgarh government in its own format. A central certificate may not be accepted.
Can I keep my job during the Executive MBA?▾
Yes. Most classes are live online, so you keep working. You must still come to the Raipur campus for the two campus visits.
What attendance does the Executive MBA need?▾
You need at least 75% attendance. Plan your work travel around the class days early, because missed classes are hard to make up.
Can I pay the Executive MBA term fee late?▾
Only for up to two weeks, and you pay a late fee. INR 1,000 is charged in the first week. After that, you need the chair's approval.
Where is the IIM Raipur campus?▾
The campus is at Atal Nagar, Kurru, Abhanpur, in Raipur, Chhattisgarh. Your call letter or offer email tells you where and when to report.
How will IIM Raipur contact me?▾
By email to the address in your form, and on the website and portal. Use an email you check daily, and keep the same mobile number all season.
Is IIM Raipur an Institute of National Importance?▾
Yes. The IIM Act of 2017 made the IIMs Institutes of National Importance. That is why IIM Raipur gives you a degree, not a diploma.
When was IIM Raipur set up?▾
The Government of India set up IIM Raipur in 2010. You now study at its own campus at Atal Nagar.
Should I pay an agent for an IIM Raipur seat?▾
No. Every seat is given on merit through the official process. Asking anyone to push your case gets you removed, so tell the admissions office about such offers.

IIM Raipur Admission FAQs

Short answers to what students ask before they apply.

What kinds of executive programmes does IIM Raipur run?▾
It runs open Management Development Programmes, custom programmes for companies, and Faculty Development Programmes for teachers. Pick the one that fits your work.
Is a certificate the same as an MBA?▾
No. A certificate shows you finished a short programme, but it is not a degree. If you want an MBA, you need the CAT based MBA or the Executive MBA.
Can my company get a programme made only for its staff?▾
Yes. IIM Raipur runs custom programmes at the client's place, residential or not. Ask your HR team to contact the EL&D office.
Is there a programme for college teachers?▾
Yes, the Faculty Development Programmes. They cover teaching, research and personal growth. Watch the IIM Raipur website for the next one.
Are programmes held on campus or online?▾
Both, and some mix the two. Each programme notice tells you the format, so check it before you plan travel.
Where do I find the fee for an executive programme?▾
Each programme notice gives its own fee. There is no common fee for all programmes, so read your programme's notice first.
Can my company pay for my programme?▾
Many employers pay for such programmes. Ask your HR team for a sponsorship letter before you apply, and keep a copy.
Do government officers join these programmes?▾
Yes. EL&D runs programmes for government officials too. Ask your department if it has a tie up with IIM Raipur.
Does a certificate help my IIM Raipur MBA application?▾
No. The MBA merit list counts your CAT score, marks, interview and full time work. A certificate adds no marks.
Does a certificate count as work experience?▾
No. Only full time paid work with proof counts for the MBA. A certificate course is study, not work.
Can a certificate help me join the Ph.D?▾
No. The Ph.D needs a master's degree, or another listed degree, and a test score. A certificate does not replace them.
Can I keep my job while doing a programme?▾
Most of these programmes are planned for working people. Check the class days in your programme notice before you apply.
How do I apply for an executive programme?▾
Use the apply link in the programme notice on the IIM Raipur website. Fill the form with care, because your profile decides the screening.

How will I know I have a seat?▾

What if I want to cancel after paying?▾
Each programme notice has its own refund rule. Read it before you pay, because the rules can differ.
Can faculty members propose a programme with my company?▾
Yes. IIM Raipur faculty can plan programmes with companies and government bodies. Your company can ask the EL&D office about it.
How do I check that a programme notice is real?▾

IIM Raipur: 6 Answered Questions

What is the admission process for IIM Raipur?

Samarth GaurIIM RAIPUR

In order to secure admission into IIM Raipur, it is crucial for you to perform exceptionally well on the CAT exam and achieve a percentile of 97 or higher. While the CAT 2021 CAP Cutoff was 92 percentile, a score higher than that is recommended to increase your chances of being shortlisted. After successfully passing the CAT exam, you will be required to clear the WAT (Written Admission Test) and PI (Personal Interview) rounds of the Common Admission Process (CAP).

IIM Raipur will then release its own shortlist of candidates based on their CAP round scores, profiles, and percentiles. It is important to note that the percentile requirement may vary depending on factors such as gender and academic stream. The 97 percentile is only a rough estimate and it may fluctuate based on these factors.

Were you asked in any interview regarding leaving your seat in IIM Raipur? If yes, how did you tackle the question?

Atul Yadav
Jayant ThakurMBA from Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi (Graduated 2021)

It is not common for business schools or the Common Admission Test (CAT) to have a specific column to mention dropout cases. However, if a question about a previous dropout experience in IIM Raipur were to come up during an interview, it is important to be honest and transparent about the reasons for the decision.

It would be appropriate to explain that the decision to drop out was a result of not thoroughly researching and exploring one's interests before committing to the program. It would also be important to acknowledge any personal factors, such as not being physically, mentally, or otherwise prepared, that may have contributed to the decision. It is important to present the dropout experience as a valuable learning opportunity and to demonstrate the steps taken to ensure that the same mistakes are not repeated in the future.

It would be appropriate to explain that after leaving the program, the individual took the time to explore their interests and make sure that they were fully committed to pursuing an MBA before applying again.

Is IIM Raipur worth joining?

Pratyasha
InayatStudied at the Indian Institute of Management Raipur (Graduated 2021)

Making a decision to join an MBA college is a significant investment in money, time, and effort. It can be a source of confusion, dilemma, and anxiety for MBA aspirants. The question of whether an MBA college is worth joining is subjective, as the returns on investment will vary for different individuals. For some, only the top-ranked colleges like IIM Ahmadabad, Bangalore, or Calcutta will be considered. In contrast, for others, a more pragmatic approach may be taken to weigh the pros and cons of different options.

IIM Raipur, in its 12th year of inception, has been making tremendous strides in its growth journey and is worth joining for several reasons. 

  • First, placements at IIM Raipur have been consistently strong, with an increase in the number of companies visiting the campus for final and summer placements, and diversification in the roles offered. The average package has also been rising, with students being offered roles in analytics, wealth management, and other fields. Additionally, IIM Raipur is a non-profit government institution with affordable fees, compared to many private institutions.
  • Second, the IIM brand is a significant asset, as it is widely recognized as a symbol of excellence in the industry. It instills a sense of confidence in students and opens up opportunities for them in the corporate world. 
  • Third, the new campus of IIM Raipur has state-of-the-art infrastructure with modern design and modern classrooms, sports complexes, and hostels with single occupancy and attached bathrooms.
  • Fourth, the course pedagogy at IIM Raipur offers flexibility in terms of curriculum design, which is relevant to the industry. It allows students to pursue majors in more than one specialization, and thus broaden the spectrum of career opportunities. 
  • Finally, life at IIM Raipur is vibrant and diverse, with multiple platforms for students to explore and express interests beyond the classroom, including extra-curricular activities, student club activities, and various student bodies that give an avenue to improve leadership skills, interpersonal skills, and create memories in the process.

While there may be some shortcomings, such as the mess food or the location of Raipur, it is crucial to keep in mind that the college is making great strides in all dimensions, and is definitely worth joining compared to many other institutions in its league.

Which one should I choose, IIM Raipur or SIMSREE (Sydenham)? I am an average mechanical engineering graduate. I have offers from both of them. Which one should you suggest?

Himanshu Gajendra
Manjot SinghMBA from Indian Institute of Management Raipur (2022)

If you choose IIM Raipur you can definitely grab the IIM tag. But in reality, SIMSREE is one of the oldest B Schools and thus has a better plethora of opportunities. Joining SIMSREE is a better choice because

  • It is one of the oldest colleges in India
  • It is located in Mumbai, the financial capital of India 
  • 100% placement record
  • Amazing ROI 
  • Small-batch size
  • Decent faculty base

You can avail so many opportunities by joining SIMSREE but will only get an IIM tag if you join IIM Raipur. Moreover, you will be burdened with repaying the loan. IIM Raipur might also not have top firms visit the campus for placements due to its location.

So it’s better to join SIMSREE and focus on the technical aspect of an MBA than join IIM Raipur just for the brand name.

What is your opinion about IIM Raipur for a GEM from NITW earning 13 LpA in the IT industry with 22 months work experience?

Prabhjot Dev
Praveen Kumar MPGDM from Indian Institute of Management Raipur (Graduated 2015)

Let’s make this easy to understand by comparing what you will be earning in 2 years if you continue to work here and the average package you might be offered after completing an MBA of 2 years.

Your current salary is 13 LPA. So in 2 years, you will be earning around 16 LPA. The average salary of IIM Raipur is INR 17.73 LPA. Now if you compare the two you will see there isn’t much difference between the two. In fact, if you go for an MBA you will end up with an extra loan. Paying back the hefty loan is itself a big task. So, in my opinion, you should continue working in the firm.

If you really want to pursue MBA, prepare for CAT next year and aim for an older IIM as it might improve your opportunities. Then again go for CAT again only if you are confident that you will

be able to ace it.

Which IIM amongst the two should one join, IIM Ranchi and IIM Raipur?

Sunil Kumar D
Jayesh SurisettiMBA from Indian Institute of Management Raipur (2021)

If we talk about the brand value and worth of these two IIMs I don’t think there are many dissimilarities. The difference between the two is some personal level factors like

Campus: IIM Ranchi has no permanent campus and this is one of the major shortcomings of this institute. IIM Raipur on the other hand has a vast 200-acre campus. It is decked with world-class facilities and will give you the feeling of staying at a hotel.

Placements: IIM Raipur has better placements than IIM Ranchi and for many, this is a major deciding factor. The table below compares the placement statistics of the two IIMs.
