The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Raipur has announced a significant shift in its admission process for the MBA 2025-27 batch. The institute will no longer participate in the Common Admission Process (CAP) 2025 and will instead adopt an independent admissions process. This move underscores IIM Raipur’s commitment to a more tailored and holistic evaluation of candidates.
The admissions process will rely on CAT scores, followed by direct personal interviews. The shortlisting of candidates is scheduled to begin in the second week of January 2025, with interviews conducted in eight cities across India: Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Lucknow, Bengaluru, New Delhi, Guwahati, and Raipur. The interview window is tentatively set between 10th February and 9th March 2025.
Aspiring candidates can find detailed information, including eligibility criteria and selection procedures, on the official IIM Raipur Admissions Portal - iimraipur.ac.in.
Why This Change?
Speaking on the decision, IIM Raipur Director Prof. Ram Kumar Kakani highlighted the institution's focus on enhancing the admission experience. “This independent process aligns with our vision to nurture talent and innovation. By including at least one industry expert on our interview panels and expanding interviews to cities like Guwahati and Lucknow, we aim to increase social outreach and inclusivity in our flagship MBA program.”
