Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Raipur has launched a dedicated two-year MBA in Public Policy and Governance. The program is being offered under the Chief Minister’s Good Governance Fellowship (CMGGF)—a key initiative by the Government of Chhattisgarh aimed at nurturing a new generation of governance professionals.
The program will admit 36 selected students and is fully funded by the state government, including complete tuition support. In addition, participants will receive a monthly stipend of Rs 50,000, along with accommodation and meals during their academic stay at the IIM Raipur campus. The last date to apply is May 11, 2025, and candidates can submit their applications at iimraipur.ac.in/mba-ppg.
Designed to blend academic rigor with hands-on governance exposure, the MBA aims to equip students with the tools to tackle complex public policy challenges. The curriculum includes immersive coursework at IIM Raipur's modern campus and field assignments in collaboration with departments of the Chhattisgarh government.
“This program is a landmark step toward shaping ethical and capable public leaders. With a strong focus on real-world problem-solving, policy analysis, and governance frameworks, we aim to foster transformative leadership,” said Prof. Ram Kumar Kakani, Director of IIM Raipur.
Eligibility criteria include Chhattisgarh domicile status, a valid CAT score from 2022, 2023, or 2024, and a graduation degree with a minimum of 60% marks (or 55% for reserved category candidates), as per the Chhattisgarh State Reservation Policy.
Graduates of this program will be well-positioned for roles in state and central government departments, public sector undertakings, consulting firms, and policy research organizations, with a focus on driving change both within Chhattisgarh and at the national level.
This initiative reinforces the state's commitment to inclusive governance and youth empowerment through education and policy innovation.
