How it works: Meeting these CAT 2025 and school minimums brings an invitation to register for JAP 2026, the joint process of IIM Kashipur, Raipur, Ranchi and Tiruchirappalli; the interview cut-offs are set later and may be much higher. CAT sections: A positive scaled score in each of VARC, DILR and QA. Graduation: The graduation column is IIM Raipur's own minimum to enter its merit list; JAP 2026 registration itself asks for 50% (45% for SC, ST and PwD). Final-year students: May apply on marks to date; admission is provisional until a completion certificate is submitted by 30 June 2026, with final results by 30 September 2026. A floor to be considered — not the score that got admitted.

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. 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: 72.88 in 2024–26, down 2.09 on 2023–25 (composite score).
