Eligibility

The candidate can also hold a degree in Engineering or Technology for four years duration after twelfth grade, BSc or Diploma course completion.

Candidates who are appearing for the final year examination can also apply, and so can those who are awaiting their results. Provisional certificates will need to be submitted.

The selection process is of two stages, and various factors are considered, so fulfillment of the minimum eligibility criteria alone will not ensure consideration for shortlisting into the IIM.

IIM Raipur follows the Government of India’s policy on reservations for Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Non-creamy Other Backward Classes (NC-OBC) and PWD (Person with Difficulty).

If the actually number of candidates is found to be less/more than the required number of candidates then the overall and section-wise minimum score will be reduced/increased accordingly.

Your CAT score is the score criterion for making it through the first short-list. The short-listing factors for the first stage include your CAT score, and grades in 10th, 12th and graduation. It also takes into account your work experience, whether you have done a post-graduation course already, academic background and gender. All these are marked out of 60 points as in the table below:
