Questions related to IIM Raipur
Have a question related to IIM Raipur ?
Hello,
With a 91.98 percentile in CAT and being a non-engineer fresher from the EWS category , you have a decent chance for IIM Shillong and IIM Raipur , but it will depend on various factors like:
1. If you have strong 10th and 12th marks, it will help.
2. Being a non-engineer can be an advantage since many IIMs give extra points for academic diversity.
3. This increases your chances, as the cutoff for EWS is generally lower than the general category.
4. As a fresher, you might lose some points, but if other factors are strong, it can balance out.
5. Even if you get a call, converting it will depend on your performance in the WAT-PI round .
For IIT Roorkee (DOMS) , your chances are quite high , as their cutoff for EWS candidates is usually around this range.
Hope it helps !

The Indian Institute Of Managements(IIMs) do not have fixed seat allocations for their Post Graduate Programme(PGP) as their student intake keeps on changing every year. Specifically, for IIM Raipur, the student intake for the batch of 2021-23 was 262, and for the batch of 2022-24, it is 325. The number is expected to rise with each subsequent batch.

Hey Vasu
Getting shortlisted depends on your CAT percentile, WAT and personal interview. If you have a good record of academics then that would be a plus point. All these factors will help you in the IIMs' selection.
Looking at your factors, honestly, the chances exist but less. There are many candidates that don't opt for admissions or chose some other institutions, in that case your chances will increase automatically.
All the best
