CAT decides the whole shortlist but only 33.3% of the final offer — once you are called, everything else together carries more than the exam does.
Note: JAP 2026: the four IIMs share one interview shortlist, drawn category by category on CAT 2025 scores from candidates who registered after meeting the minimums; the interview is held jointly.
Note: IIM Raipur's own final score for 2026–28, out of 150 marks: CAT 2025 index 50 (the three sectional and the overall percentiles, equally weighted), interview 40, Class X 15, Class XII 15, work experience 15 (full marks at 36–42 months, none under 12), gender diversity 8 for women and transgender candidates, profile 5 (a top-ten NIRF 2025 undergraduate institution 4, CFA 1) and academic diversity 2 for listed non-engineering degrees. A candidate gets the gender or the academic-diversity marks, not both.
General candidates converted the MBA at 72.88 on the institute's composite score for 2024–26, down from 74.97 the year before but above 71.57 two years earlier — the bar moves around, according to third-party figures.
