IIM Ranchi MBA RTI Data
This page is built around what CAT aspirants usually search first for IIM Ranchi Core MBA: category-wise form interest, PI shortlist volume, historical official CAT cutoffs, observed final-offer composite score benchmark, last offered rank, current class composition, and a separate official policy + fees + withdrawal snapshot.
IIM Ranchi MBA needs to be read in two layers. The uploaded RTI replies are the most reliable source for application interest, shortlist volume, no-deferment status and enrolled class composition. The transparent-stats pages you shared add the practical student-facing benchmarks like observed final-offer composite score and the rank of the last candidate who received the final offer. For the current admission context, this page separately shows the official JAP 2026 eligibility layer and the last published Ranchi-specific MBA/MBA-BA/MBA-HRM admission formula visible on the official site.

|---|---|---|
| General | 9,191 | 5.68% |

3) Official historical CAT cutoffs for shortlist
This is the cleanest official shortlist-cutoff section because it is based on IIM Ranchi’s own published admission criteria and RTI replies, not on inferred estimates.

4) Observed final-offer composite score benchmark
This is the practical conversion benchmark students usually search for. Treat these as observed last-offer scores from the transparent-stats pages, not as a formal preset IIM Ranchi cutoff, because the RTI replies themselves say there is no min/max composite cut-off criteria and offers are sent till seats are filled.

5) Rank of the last candidate who received the final offer
This section is often more intuitive for students than raw composite score. These ranks are best read as the final visible edge reached in the admission list, not as waitlist movement counts.
