IIM Indore PGP-HRM RTI Data
This page is built around what MBA HR aspirants actually search for: category-wise shortlist composite score, category-wise final FCS, waitlist movement, admitted / registered candidate counts, minimum CAT percentile snapshot, and the current official 2026-28 admission policy for IIM Indore PGP-HRM.
IIM Indore is a little different from many other programme pages because the official RTI summary PDFs combine some early-stage numbers for PGP + PGP-HRM together, while programme-specific shortlist, final admitted-candidate, class-composition and waitlist details come from the separate RTI reply letters. This page keeps those layers clean instead of mixing them up.

FAQ
Only the practical questions MBA HRM aspirants usually ask.
Which table should I check first on this page?
Start with the category-wise shortlist composite score table. That tells you the actual PI shortlist score band for PGP-HRM. Then move to final FCS and waitlist movement.
Are the applicant totals on this page programme-specific?
No. The expressed-interest totals shown in the RTI summary PDFs are for PGP and PGP-HRM together. Programme-specific numbers begin from the stage-1 PGP-HRM eligibility table and stage-2 PGP-HRM shortlist table.
Does the 2023-25 RTI reply give clean waitlist movement numbers?
No. For 2023-25, the reply shares the maximum category rank reached. That is still useful for understanding how deep offers went, but it should not be labeled as direct waitlist movement.
Why is the 2024-26 CAT percentile table worded differently from 2025-27?
Because the 2024-26 RTI reply explicitly mentions minimum CAT percentile for candidates who got admission offers, while the admitted / registered candidate table is given separately.
Can a CAT applicant opt for PGP-HRM without paying extra separately?
As per the current official 2026-28 admission procedure, interested candidates must select the PGP-HRM option during CAT registration, and there is no additional cost for the same.
Need this same RTI format for other MBA colleges too?
This page is structured for actual MBA RTI search intent: shortlist score first, final FCS second, class and CAT profile third, and waitlist interpretation only where the RTI clearly supports it.
