IIM Raipur MBA in Public Policy and Governance RTI Data
This page is built around what serious students would actually want first for IIM Raipur MBA in Public Policy and Governance: category-wise shortlist data, engineer vs non-engineer split, doctor / lawyer / CA profile data, final offers, accepted offers, category-wise waitlist lists, and the current official 2026–28 admission policy snapshot.
This is a slightly different RTI page from a normal flagship MBA page because this programme is new. The attached RTI reply is the clean baseline and already answers most of the important student questions: the programme was not listed in CAT 2024 form, it had 173 shortlisted candidates, 52 final offers, and 36 accepted offers. Since this is a newly introduced programme, there is no long historical archive yet, so this page combines your RTI reply with the latest official programme, admission, features, curriculum, and date pages of IIM Raipur.

How to read this page correctly
This page should be read differently from an older IIM programme page with multi-year RTI archives.
Main source for 2025–27 data
Used for shortlist counts, profile split, final offers, accepted offers, waitlist lists, no-deferral note, and the note that the programme was not listed in CAT 2024 form.
No long archive yet
This is a newly introduced programme, so the RTI file is the cleanest admission-baseline dataset available right now.
Used for live cycle
The 2026–28 policy, dates, domicile condition, CAT-year eligibility, stipend, sponsorship, and structure are taken from current official IIM Raipur pages.
Final tables reproduced as-is
The RTI reply shows DAP in shortlist data, but final-offer and accepted-offer tables are shown only for General, NC-OBC, SC, and ST. This page preserves that exactly and flags it clearly.
1) Category-wise shortlist data

FAQ
Only the practical questions students are most likely to ask here.
Was IIM Raipur MBA in Public Policy and Governance listed in CAT 2024 form?
No. The RTI reply says the programme was not listed in CAT 2024 form because it was announced after the completion of the CAT examination.
Is this programme open to all India candidates?
The current official 2026–28 admission page says the programme is exclusively designed for candidates who are domiciled in the state of Chhattisgarh.
Which CAT years are currently accepted for the 2026–28 batch?
The current official page says candidates with a valid CAT score from 2023, 2024, or 2025 can apply, and if they have multiple scores across those years, they must provide the highest one.
Does the RTI reply give minimum and maximum composite score by category?
No. The RTI reply clearly says there is no minimum and maximum composite score for any category because candidates were shortlisted for GD & PI based on CAT percentile.
Why is there no long waitlist archive section like some other IIM RTI pages?
Because this is a new programme. The current RTI reply is the clean primary dataset, and it gives category-wise list counts for the 1st to 4th lists rather than a multi-year archive.
Why do some official pages say “Governance” and some say “Good Governance”?
The current official ecosystem uses both wordings across different pages. This RTI page keeps the slug aligned with your requested page title while also reflecting the live official admission-page wording where needed.
Need this same RTI format for other MBA colleges too?
This page is structured the way serious students search: shortlist first, then profile texture, then offers, joins, waitlist, current policy, and official links.
