IIM Indore PG Admission 2027

IIM Indore offers PG programs such as PGP, PGP-HRM, EPGP, and PGPMX. The PGP 2027-29 policy has not been announced yet, so the PGP eligibility, CAT cutoff, selection process, and weightages below are taken from the latest available PGP Admission Procedure for the 2026-28 batch.

IIM Indore PGP Admission Process 2027

The two-year PGP/MBA admission process has more than one stage. IIM Indore first checks eligibility and CAT performance, then shortlists candidates for the Personal Interview, and finally prepares a category-wise merit list.

IIM Indore PGP Eligibility Criteria 2027

  • Bachelor's degree: Candidates need at least 50% marks or an equivalent CGPA from a recognised institution.
  • SC/ST/PwD: The minimum required marks are 45%.
  • Final-year students: Such candidates can apply on a provisional basis.
  • Awaiting results: Candidates who have completed degree requirements can apply provisionally, if they meet the deadline set by IIM Indore.
  • Professional qualifications: CA, CS, ICWA/CMA, and FIAI candidates may be eligible as per IIM Indore rules.

IIM Indore PGP CAT Cutoff 2026

For the 2026-28 batch, candidates had to meet these minimum CAT percentile requirements:

IIM Indore PGP Selection Process

Stage 1: Eligibility Screening

  • IIM Indore checks academic eligibility and CAT performance at this point. Candidates must clear the required sectional and overall CAT percentiles to move into the PI-shortlisting pool.

  • Candidates who miss the PI are not considered for final selection.

Stage 3: Final Selection

Candidates who meet the PI stage requirements move to final selection. IIM Indore uses the Final Composite Score, or FCS, to prepare a category-wise merit list and make provisional admission offers as per reservation rules.
