IIM Tiruchirappalli PGPM-HR (MBA-HR) RTI Data
This page is built around what serious CAT aspirants usually search first for IIM Tiruchirappalli PGPM-HR / MBA-HR: category-wise CAT interest, CAP shortlist counts, engineer vs non-engineer split, CA / Doctors / Lawyers data, merit-offer score bands, final admitted counts, waitlist movement archive, and the current official MBA-HR 2026–28 admission links.
IIM Tiruchirappalli MBA-HR should be read with a little more care than a generic flagship-MBA page. Your uploaded 2025–27 PGPM-HR RTI reply is clean and directly usable for CAT interest, CAP shortlist, stream split, profession split, merit offers, and final admits. For the older 2024–26 and 2023–25 archive sections, this page relies on the institute’s official PGPM-HR admission-history PDFs and waitlist calendars so that the HR page remains HR-specific and does not accidentally mix generic PGPM data into the archive. The current live process is JAP 2026, not CAP 2026.

| Batch | Source used | Historical final offers | Historical final admitted count |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024–26 | Official PGPM-HR merit & waitlist PDF | 2,639 | Not used here, to avoid mixing non-HR reply content into the HR page. |
| 2023–25 | Official PGPM-HR admission-detail PDF | 2,650 | Not used here, because the attached old reply set does not give a clean HR-only final-admitted table. |

FAQ
Only the practical questions students usually ask around IIM Tiruchirappalli MBA-HR RTI data.
Does IIM Tiruchirappalli MBA-HR follow CAP or JAP?
Both appear on this page, but for different years. The attached clean 2025–27 HR RTI reply is CAP-based data. The current live official cycle is JAP 2026 for MBA and MBA-HR admissions.
What is the cleanest HR-specific RTI file in the attached set?
The 2025–27 PGPM-HR reply is the cleanest one. It directly gives category-wise interest, CAP shortlist, stream split, profession split, merit offers, and final admitted counts.
Why are the 2024–26 and 2023–25 archive sections based on official PDFs?
Because the older attached reply set is not clean enough to be used as the primary HR historical archive. So this page uses IIM Tiruchirappalli’s official PGPM-HR archive PDFs for those historical sections.
Is 2025 shortlist-stage data the same as merit-offer data?
Read the labels carefully. The RTI file asks shortlist-style questions, but the score-band tables supplied are official admission-detail / merit-offer tables. This page labels them accordingly.
Where should I check official MBA-HR waitlist movement?
Use the official admissions hub and the batch-specific MBA-HR archive pages: 2023–25 offer calendar PDF, 2024–26 waitlist page, and the 2025–27 admission calendar plus merit/waitlist PDF.
Need this same RTI format for other MBA colleges too?
This page is structured the way serious students search: CAT interest first, shortlist next, profile split after that, then current policy, merit-offer scores, final admits, waitlist archive, and official live links.
