IIM Indore PGP Selection Criteria 2027

PGP selection at IIM Indore has two score-based stages. The first stage decides who gets called for GD and PI. The second stage is used for final admission. The process below follows the official 2026-28 admission procedure, and the 2027-29 formula will be released after CAT 2026 results.

Minimum CAT Percentile Cutoffs for Shortlisting:

Stage 1 Composite Score for GD/PI Shortlisting: CAT sectional scores carry 55%, Class 12 marks carry 25%, Class 10 marks carry 10%, work experience carries 3%, and diversity factor carries 7 marks.

Stage 2 Composite Score for Final Admission: CAT sectional scores carry 40%, Personal Interview carries 45%, Class 12 marks carry 5%, Class 10 marks carry 5%, and diversity factor carries 5 marks.

• IIM Indore does not hold a Written Ability Test. For the 2026-28 batch, candidates attended GD first and PI after that.
• Diversity marks are given to women candidates and students from non-engineering academic backgrounds.
• Work experience is counted, but it is not compulsory. Freshers are not at a major disadvantage because Stage 1 gives work experience only 3% weight.
• The institute issues close to 600 PGP offers in one admission cycle to fill 487 seats after waitlist movement.

IIM Indore PGP vs IIM Lucknow vs IIM Kozhikode

IIM Indore, IIM Lucknow and IIM Kozhikode are established IIMs for PGP study, but their admission rules are not the same. The main differences are in the interview format, composite score design and non-PGP programmes offered by each institute.

Note: IIM Indore removed WAT from its PGP process starting with the 2026-28 batch. IIM Lucknow and IIM Kozhikode still use WAT in selection. IIM Indore gives Class 12 marks a heavier 25% shortlisting weight, which helps strong board performers more than many peer IIMs. IIM Kozhikode has a lower CAT cutoff, but competition remains high across all three institutes.
