Indian Institute of Management Raipur (IIM Raipur)
Last updated 9 September 2026 · Reviewed by Piyush Agarwal · Latest change: Initial sourced profile published from IIM Raipur's official admission-policy and fee pages opened today — JAP 2026 membership and hosting (with Kashipur, Ranchi and Trichy), the 60/50/45 graduation floors, the printed 150-point final-score table, and the 2026-28 fee structure totalling Rs 20,08,000 with mess, deposit and insurance printed separately
The short answer
As of 9 September 2026, IIM Raipur admits to its MBA through CAT and JAP 2026 — the joint process it coordinates with IIM Kashipur, Ranchi and Tiruchirappalli — then ranks candidates on a printed 150-point score: CAT index 50, interview 40, Class 10 and 12 fifteen each, work experience 15, diversity 8. The printed 2026-28 fee is Rs 20,08,000.
Selection process
- Take CAT 2025 and meet the graduation floor — 60% for General, EWS and NC-OBC; 50% for SC; 45% for ST and PwD — without which a name does not enter the merit list at all.
- Register on the JAP 2026 portal (jap2026.iimraipur.edu.in) after the CAT result and the invitation email; registration, PI shortlisting and the interview itself are common to IIM Raipur, IIM Kashipur, IIM Ranchi and IIM Tiruchirappalli.
- The final score is printed out of 150: CAT 2025 index 50 (scaled sectionals and overall, equally weighted), PI 40, Class 10 score 15, Class 12 or diploma score 15, work experience 15, gender diversity 8 for female and transgender candidates, profile 5, academic diversity 2 — with gender and academic diversity never both awarded.
- Class 10 and 12 marks convert on a printed band table — below 60% scores zero, 95% and above scores the full 15.
- Offers follow the category-wise merit list under the Government of India reservation rules for central educational institutions; the institute warns that untrue declarations disqualify a candidate even after admission.

Is there a management quota here?
No. IIM Raipur's published route is CAT plus the JAP 2026 joint process and a printed 150-point merit formula, with a hard graduation-percentage floor before the merit list is even prepared. The official policy page opened on 9 September 2026 carries no institute-level, management or NRI channel — and it warns that incorrect declarations disqualify candidates even after the process ends.
IIM Raipur sits at the centre of this admission cycle’s biggest joint process: it hosts JAP 2026, the common admission process shared with IIM Kashipur, IIM Ranchi and IIM Tiruchirappalli. One registration and one Personal Interview serve all four institutes — then each campus ranks its own list, and IIM Raipur’s formula is the most interview-heavy of the group.
What should an applicant plan for?
The first filter is not CAT at all but the degree certificate: 60% in graduation for General, EWS and NC-OBC candidates (50% SC, 45% ST/PwD), without which the merit list does not open. After the JAP shortlist and the common interview, IIM Raipur computes a printed 150-point score — CAT index 50, PI 40, Class 10 and 12 fifteen points each on a banded table that gives nothing below 60%, work experience 15, and 8 points of gender diversity for female and transgender candidates (chosen against, never added to, the 2-point academic diversity score).
The practical reading: at IIM Raipur the interview carries 27% of the final score — against 20% at partner IIM Trichy — so a strong PI rescues a merely-adequate CAT more here than anywhere else in the JAP group. The Rs 1,00,000 paid to accept an offer adjusts into the first-term fee, and the printed 2026-28 total is Rs 20,08,000 with mess (Rs 16,620 a trimester), a Rs 30,000 refundable deposit and Rs 1,500-a-year medical insurance on top.

Questions, answered
- Which exam does IIM Raipur accept for the MBA?
- CAT only, feeding into JAP 2026. The official 2026-28 admission policy, opened on 9 September 2026, describes a common registration, shortlist and Personal Interview shared with IIM Kashipur, IIM Ranchi and IIM Tiruchirappalli, after which IIM Raipur prepares its own category-wise merit list. No GMAT route exists for the flagship MBA.
- What CAT percentile does IIM Raipur need?
- The shortlist bar is the common JAP 2026 one — for the 2026-28 cycle, General candidates needed 75 in each CAT section and 95.25 overall, as published by partner IIM Tiruchirappalli. After the shortlist, IIM Raipur's own 150-point formula takes over: CAT index 50, interview 40, academics 30, work experience 15, diversity and profile 15.
- What is the total IIM Raipur MBA fee?
- The printed 2026-28 structure totals Rs 20,08,000 for two years — academic fee, lodging, rural immersion, association and alumni charges inside — plus a refundable Rs 30,000 caution deposit, mess at Rs 16,620 per trimester and Rs 1,500 a year for medical insurance. The Rs 1,00,000 offer-acceptance amount adjusts into the first-term fee.
- Does IIM Raipur have a graduation-marks requirement?
- Yes, and it is a hard floor: 60% in graduation for General, EWS and NC-OBC candidates, 50% for SC and 45% for ST and PwD. The policy states a candidate who misses the floor is not included in the merit list at all, whatever the CAT score.
- Is there a management quota at IIM Raipur?
- No. Admission is CAT plus the JAP 2026 joint interview and a printed 150-point merit formula, with the graduation floor applied before ranking. The official pages opened on 9 September 2026 show no institute-level, management or NRI channel; any offer of a paid seat is outside the published process.
