No Fee Notice for 2027-29 Yet
IIM Raipur has not published a PGP fee notice or admission policy for 2027-29. The fee on this page is for the 2026-28 batch, the latest published.
IIM Raipur admission to the PGP runs on CAT, a joint interview and IIM Raipur's own merit list. IIM Raipur admission 2027 will use CAT 2026, which is on Sunday 29 November 2026. No policy for 2027-29 is out yet, so the 2026-28 rules apply on this page. IIM Raipur coordinates the process with IIM Kashipur, IIM Ranchi and IIM Tiruchirappalli. IIM Raipur has not announced JAP 2027 dates.
Step 1
Clear CAT and Register
You clear the minimum CAT percentiles and register on the JAP portal when invited. This is the first step of the IIM Raipur admission process.
Step 2
Attend the Joint Interview
The four IIMs hold the personal interview together.
Step 3
Get an Offer by Merit
IIM Raipur ranks you category-wise on a score out of 150 and sends offers in merit order.
The IIM Raipur admission criteria ask for a bachelor's degree with at least 60% marks if you are General, EWS or NC-OBC. These IIM Raipur admission requirements apply to the PGP. SC candidates need 50%, and ST and PwD candidates need 45%. IIM Raipur lets final-year students apply and join provisionally. The policy sets no minimum work experience.
The IIM Raipur merit list is out of 150. CAT carries 50 marks and the personal interview 40. Class X and Class XII carry 15 each, and work experience carries 15. Gender diversity carries 8 marks, profile 5 and academic diversity 2.
IIM Kashipur, IIM Ranchi and IIM Tiruchirappalli. IIM Raipur is the coordinating institute. Registration and shortlisting for the interview are common to all four.
No. IIM Raipur uses CAT for the MBA and the public policy MBA. The PhD accepts CAT, GMAT, GRE, GATE or JRF.
The IIM Raipur placement for the PGP 2024-26 batch shows a median of Rs 20.23 lakh. The average was Rs 20.70 lakh and the highest was Rs 42.66 lakh, as per the institute's highlights. The tabs keep the two IIM Raipur batches apart, because the full report is still for 2023-25.
Median: Rs 20.23 lakh
Average: Rs 20.70 lakh
Highest: Rs 42.66 lakh
Largest sector: IT and ITES at 31%, then BFSI at 19%. Strategy and consulting took 11%.
The 2024-26 median of Rs 20.23 lakh a year is close to the full PGP fee of Rs 20,08,000. Half the IIM Raipur batch earned at least that much in one year. Every figure is a yearly cost to company, and the highest package is one offer, not what a typical student gets.
The IIM Raipur cutoff to register for JAP 2026 was 90 percentile overall and 75 in each section for General candidates. Check your CAT scorecard for all three sectional percentiles and the total. These IIM Raipur cutoff marks are minimum bars, and each IIM sets a higher shortlist bar. IIM Raipur published its own interview cutoff last for MBA 2025, when General needed 96.00 overall.
| Category | Each section | Total |
|---|---|---|
| General | 75 | 90 |
| EWS and NC-OBC | 60 | 75 |
| SC | 45 | 50 |
| ST and PwD | 25 | 30 |
A Minimum Is Not a Shortlist Bar
A General candidate who clears 90 overall and 75 in each section can register on the JAP portal. That does not mean an interview call. The IIM Raipur previous year cutoff, the last it set alone, was 96.00 for General, so aim well above 90.
IIM Raipur has no institute merit scholarship for the MBA, so support comes from government schemes and bank loans. The MBA manual names five central scholarships, and students apply on the National Scholarship Portal. This is the IIM Raipur scholarship information for 2027.
Five central government schemes for SC, ST, OBC, disability and postgraduate students. Bank loans are the main route for others. IIM Raipur arranges neither.
The Government of Chhattisgarh pays the tuition. Each student gets a stipend of Rs 50,000 a month.
Tuition, library, computer and hostel fees are waived. The scholarship is Rs 50,000 a month in years 1 and 2 and Rs 55,000 in years 3 and 4.
IIM Raipur ranks 15th in the NIRF 2025 Management category with a score of 65.03. The IIM Raipur ranking 2026 is still the NIRF 2025 result, because the IIM Raipur NIRF ranking 2026 list is not published. The IIM Raipur ranking in India is set by NIRF. IIM Raipur is the eighth IIM in that list, and it leads its three JAP partners.
