For the 2026-28 batch, the institute's published minimum CAT 2025 threshold was 97 percentile for General category candidates, followed by an independent Personal Interview. Final selection used CAT score (60%), PI (20%) and Academic & Gender Diversity (20%). The latest reported PGP placement cycle (2026) recorded ₹20.03 LPA average CTC and ₹18 LPA median CTC.
IIM Rohtak Overview
Indian Institute of Management Rohtak is an institute of national importance established under the IIM Act, 2017. The institute offers management programmes across postgraduate, integrated, doctoral and executive formats. For MBA aspirants, the two-year Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP) is the primary graduate-entry programme, while the five-year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) is the major school-leaver route.
Do not combine PGP and IPM admission data. PGP is a graduate-entry MBA route using CAT and the institute's own PI process; IPM is a five-year integrated programme for eligible Class 10/XII candidates using IPM AT and PI.
Programmes at IIM Rohtak
The institute has several programmes, but students should shortlist them by entry stage and career objective rather than treating every programme as an MBA equivalent.
PGP in Management
Two-year full-time management programme leading to an MBA degree. Admission for the 2026-28 batch used CAT 2025, institute registration and an independent PI.
Integrated Programme in Management
Five-year integrated management route. The 2026-31 batch had 198 seats and used IPM AT, PI and past academics for final merit.
PGPx
One-year postgraduate programme for experienced professionals. The current admission route requires a bachelor's/postgraduate degree and at least three years of professional, managerial or entrepreneurial experience.

IIM Rohtak PGP Eligibility 2026-28
For the 2026-28 PGP cycle, applicants needed a bachelor's degree with the minimum marks specified by the institute's admission policy and a valid CAT 2025 score. The official admission FAQ confirms that candidates who appeared in CAT 2025 could register subject to the admission policy.
Academic eligibility
Check the current admission policy for the exact minimum graduation percentage, category relaxation and final-year documentation requirements before applying.
Entrance requirement
CAT 2025 was the qualifying test for PGP 2026-28. Selecting IIM Rohtak in the CAT form alone did not complete the institute's separate application.
Do not use the IPM Class X/XII eligibility criteria on the PGP page. The two programmes have different entry qualifications, age conditions and selection tests.
IIM Rohtak PGP Admission Process
IIM Rohtak follows an institute-specific process rather than relying on another IIM's PI score. For 2026-28, the process can be understood in five stages.
| Stage | What happens | Student takeaway |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Registration | Eligible CAT 2025 candidates completed the IIM Rohtak application. | CAT registration and IIM Rohtak registration were separate actions. |
| 2. PI shortlist | Candidates meeting the institute's screening criteria were called for its independent PI. | Meeting the minimum CAT threshold is not the same as receiving an offer. |
| 3. Final merit | CAT, PI and Academic/Gender Diversity were combined into the final score. | CAT remained the largest component at 60%. |
| 4. Provisional offer | Offers were issued according to merit/rank and category-wise seat availability. | Read the offer letter for acceptance amount and deadlines. |
| 5. Reporting | Selected students paid applicable fees, reported to campus and completed document verification. | Hostel and joining formalities follow institute instructions. |
IIM Rohtak conducts its own PGP admission process. Do not assume that a CAP/WAT-PI process used by another IIM applies here.
IIM Rohtak CAT Cutoff & Selection Criteria

| EWS | 93 |

Final selection weightage · PGP 2026-28
A 97 percentile General-category minimum is an eligibility threshold, not a guaranteed PI call or admission score.

IIM Rohtak PGP Curriculum & Learning Structure
The first year of the PGP builds a broad management foundation before students move into more advanced and elective-oriented coursework. The official first-year curriculum includes financial reporting, economics, marketing, written communication, organisational behaviour, quantitative methods, operations, probability, management accounting and data analytics.
Finance & Accounting
Financial Reporting & Analysis and Management Accounting build the accounting and financial decision-making base expected in a general management MBA.
Marketing & Strategy
Marketing Management, economics and the broader management curriculum build decision-making capability across commercial functions.
Data & Quantitative Methods
Business Computing, Data Analytics, Quantitative Methods and Probability introduce the analytical toolkit used across modern management roles.
The programme is not only a placement route. Students should assess whether the curriculum, pace and broad-management orientation match their intended role.

Should You Choose IIM Rohtak?
The right decision depends on your profile, CAT score, career target, budget and the alternatives available to you. A strong placement headline alone should not decide the choice.
IIM Rohtak can make sense if...
You want an IIM-branded two-year MBA, are comfortable with a CAT-heavy selection process, want broad management roles and value access to consulting, finance, sales & marketing, technology/operations and general management recruiters.
Compare alternatives carefully if...
You already have a stronger offer on role quality, median compensation, programme fit or location. Compare the complete cost, median salary, role distribution and career trajectory rather than highest CTC alone.
What to compare before accepting an MBA offer
- Admission probability: distinguish minimum cutoff from realistic conversion.
- Total cost: include academic fees, mess, accommodation and one-time charges.
- Placement quality: compare median, average, role mix and recruiter depth.
- Career fit: check whether the functions you want have meaningful placement share.
- Programme structure: evaluate curriculum, academic load, electives and experiential opportunities.
- Opportunity cost: compare the two-year cost and lost income against alternatives.
