How it works: Clearing your category's overall and every sectional CAT 2025 minimum brings an email inviting you to fill in IIM Nagpur's own application form; the form is a pre-interview step, not an interview call. For 2026–28 IIM Nagpur runs its own admission process (the 2024–26 and 2025–27 batches came through the joint CAP). CAT sections: A positive score in each of VARC, DILR and QA. Interview shortlist: Drawn on a shortlisting score built from the CAT 2025 score and profile (Class X, Class XII, graduation, work experience and gender diversity); IIM Nagpur publishes no weights for it. School and degree marks: The 2026–28 policy sets no minimum Class X, Class XII or graduation mark; those marks are scored in the final selection instead. A floor to be considered — not the score that got admitted.
CAT: 45% of the offer
Offer
IIM Nagpur's own final score for 2026–28. CAT counts as a normalised score — your CAT 2025 score over the highest among candidates who cleared the first stage, not your percentile; the interview includes a short extempore; Class X, Class XII and graduation marks are banded; work experience earns full marks at 18 to 24 months and none under 6 or from 36; academic-diversity marks go to non-engineering degrees and gender-diversity marks to women and transgender candidates. Offers go by rank within each category. The interview shortlist itself is drawn on the CAT 2025 score and profile, with no weights published.
General: 95 in 2025–27, up 1 on 2024–26.
Newest batch · 2025–27 · CAT %ile
CAT percentile — Minimum CAT 2023 total percentile, with sectional minimums, set for the MBA 2024–26 under CAP 2024, the joint process of ten IIMs including IIM Nagpur: candidates who cleared them and applied on the CAP portal went on to the online interview. A floor for the call, not the percentile anyone was admitted at — IIM Nagpur notes that scores for the final offers could be much higher
