IIM Rohtak Admission 2026: Eligibility, Selection Process and Key Details

The Indian Institute of Management Rohtak has released details for admission to its Post Graduate Programme (PGP) 2026-28, with the selection process based primarily on the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2025 score, followed by further evaluation stages.

Candidates seeking admission must meet the prescribed eligibility criteria and participate in the institute's multi-stage selection process.

Eligibility Criteria

For admission to the PGP programme at IIM Rohtak, candidates must:

• Hold a bachelor's degree in any discipline with at least 50% marks (45% for reserved categories)
• Appear for and qualify in CAT 2025
• Meet the minimum percentile cut-off specified by the institute

For other programmes such as the Integrated Programme in Management (IPM), candidates must have at least 60% in Class 10 and 12 (55% for reserved categories), along with age criteria as specified.

CAT Cut-Off and Shortlisting

As per the latest admission policy for the 2026-28 batch:

• General category: around 97 percentile
• EWS: around 93 percentile
• NC-OBC: around 83 percentile
• SC: around 60 percentile
• ST: around 50 percentile

These cut-offs are used for shortlisting candidates for the next stage and may vary slightly each year.

Selection Process

The admission process at IIM Rohtak consists of multiple stages:

• CAT 2025 Score Evaluation
• Shortlisting for Personal Interview (PI)
• Personal Interview Round
• Final Merit List Preparation

Final selection is based on a composite score that includes:

• CAT score (major weightage)
• Personal Interview performance
• Academic background
• Diversity factors

The institute does not follow the common admission process (CAP) used by some other IIMs and conducts its own independent selection process.

Application Process

Candidates who qualify the CAT cut-off must apply separately to IIM Rohtak for the PI round. The application process is conducted online, and applicants are required to submit academic details and pay the prescribed application fee.

For the 2026 admission cycle, the application window for PI shortlisting was open earlier in January 2026.

What This Means for Aspirants

Admission to IIM Rohtak remains competitive, with high CAT percentile requirements and a multi-stage evaluation process. Meeting the minimum cut-off does not guarantee selection, as final admission depends on overall performance across all stages.

Candidates are advised to regularly check official updates and prepare for both CAT and interview rounds as part of the admission process.
