[2016-18] IIM Raipur Admission Queries and Discussions [OFFICIAL]

Hi Seniors, the dates put up on site are final ones or there is a possibility that they will change? It will be helpful to know beforehand for reservations etc.Tickets become expensive as the date comes closer and no full refund for plane tickets.(10th June ka ticket waste hua )

I have one query....everywhere members of the adcom seem to suggest that the reason for no movement in waitlist was due to no withdrawals from those accepting the offer....this seems to suggest that all the seats have been filled and any further movement will only take place because of withdrawals from those who have already accepted the offer.........which further points out to the fact that waitlist movement would not be in 100s as those witnessed for Kashipur or Udaipur and would be minimal in number........please clarify this logic and kindly don't comment "movement will happen only if withdrawals are made otherwise not"

Hello Everyone, Date for registration is changed to 19th June 2016. http://www.iimraipur.ac.in/admn_pgp_imp_date.htm

What's the difference between preparatory classes and orientation programme?

in how many days raipurr completed its placement...i read somewhere that trichy successfully placed 90% of their batch in 3 days!!

Iim Raipur : Ek joke bolun? ///Aspirants: Go ahead./// IIM R : Seats ///Aspirants: I don't get it. ///Iim R: Exactly!! :/

The link sent to me on my email ID to join the Raipur converts group on FB seems to be broken or expired. Can someone help me out regarding this issue ?

What are the best job profiles more like dream jobs for MBA aspirants and roles of some of the best companies that have visited the campus last year for final placements...?...Please don't comment as to refer placement profile..I have and it doesn't contain such details...

Will the next wait list be declared today?

For all you people I have done a lil bit of analysis on the number of buffer calls given by Raipur. I am comparing the merit list preparation of kashipur and raipur. Both the institutes have 62 marks in common( 10 for wat, 20for pi and 32 for cat). Now let us talk about the remaining 38 marks. Kashipur has 10 marks for cat(mine is on the lower side 97.35). It doesn't give a f%%k about 10th and 12th scores(1 marks for each) and i have 3/16 for graduation and diversity stuff, remaining 10 marks for PI( i had the worst PI, bcz at that time i wasnt considering new iims even over NM, did not shave for weeks and answered like i dont care whether u select me or not). So in short the remaining 38 marks are not from my strong areas. NOW coming to Raipur, i have 13/13 in 10th, 12th( >90 criteria) 4/7 in graduation(most of the engineer's score is 4 or 5), 2 marks in work exp and zero marks in diversity( GEM curse). So in short raipur has more points from my strong areas or the areas which are not under my control( Comon changing sex is not an option, please). Now kashipur w/l -16xx raipur- 966 The difference in ranking is quite evident from the distribution of those 38 marks. Even if raipur has lil more buffer calls than kashipur, it would be compensated by the 35 extra general seats this year. If your waitlist rank converted last year, it's gonna convert this year as well. All the best. Keep calm and stay high

For all the confused people, here is an excellent article by my batch-mate to help you decide:-


I was just out of my engineering college in 2014 & working for a prestigious oil & gas company when I decided to go for higher studies. After scoring a 97.62 percentile in CAT out of 1,80,000 aspirants, I had to wait for a month to convert the so called "New IIMs". You are wise enough to judge the quality of students getting in to the college. By the end of the season, I had converted XIMB, IIT Kharagpur, IIM Udaipur, Rohtak, Trichy, Kashipur, Raipur and finally joined IIM Raipur.

During that time, there was an article I read and trust me, it started bothering me. An article named "My stint at IIM Raipur". I decided to talk to my friends studying there and got things clarified. That friend is working with a market research firm at Singapore and IIM Raipur placed him there. Not everyone has friends at IIM Raipur. Hence, I decided to write this to help you clarify your doubts. The worry is understandable and I am here to help. I will "hold-the-door" for you against the White-walkers who are here to misguide you. Hodor!

Faculty & Staff Best-in-class faculty as well as visiting faculty with stints at Top 10 B-schools of the country like IIM A, B, C, L NITIE, MDI, MICA etc. teach us at IIM Raipur. There is no compromise when it comes to standard of education provided because the core belief of the institution is to see itself as one of the best research based institutes in India by 2020.

The staff is highly honorable. The sheer dexterity with which they handle complex situations is commendable. From scheduling classes, exams to holidays, everything is done aptly. In the last 12 months I have not seen anyone leave. The director of IIM Raipur being ex-director of IMT Ghaziabad & MDI Gurgaon, along with the faculty, has appreciable industry & academia contacts and that is very evident from the list of honorable guests that attend the leadership summits at IIM Raipur.

The teaching as well as the non-teaching members are standing up to the IIM standards with well-defined roles for themselves. This is probably the reason why IIM Raipur produces one of the highest number of research papers in b-school fraternity in India.

Students Yes! It is true that a student with around 60 percentile studies with a student scoring around 99 percentile at IIM Raipur. But, neither the faculty nor the students care about it. If you are studying at a top notch b-school you are bound to have certain qualities because of which you are here at the first place. It is the government's way of promoting equality and we don't question it. Even people at Top Notch B-schools like IIM A, B, C, FMS don't question it, where the story is the same. We are not here to change the system but we as managers need to maximize our efficiency with what we have and a few insights in that domain would be: . IIM Raipur students won the 1st edition of RBI Policy Challenge with IIFT-Delhi and were awarded the prestigious prize by Dr. Raghuram Rajan, Governor - RBI. . IIM Raipur students won a prestigious position at Yes Bank Transformation Series. . IIM Raipur students were the finalists at the flagship sales & marketing event of IIM A . 2 teams from IIM Raipur were in the top 7 of IIM C flagship sales & marketing event out of 700 teams that participated . IIM Raipur students won the flagship sales and marketing event at IIM Indore . IIM Raipur won the PAN India print ad competition presented by XIMB & Skoda India . IIM Raipur students won the Digital Marketing event at ISB Hyderabad . IIM Raipur students won the sports week events at NIT Raipur. . 4 students from IIM Raipur wrote the much coveted CFA exam. All qualified. Need I say more about the accolades that the mix bag of diverse students bring to IIM Raipur?

Infrastructure Yes, we have everything under one roof. That is the reason everyone knows everyone here. You never feel lonely. If you are a person who wants to join a b-school with the notion of taking away a valuable network with you, you have no idea how much this infrastructural boon would help you. I was apprehensive about the setup when I walked in but after completing one year at this place I can confidently say it was truly a blessing in disguise. Maybe the rooms are small but that doesn't stop me from playing badminton or cricket or basketball or table-tennis. If you are a Liverpool fan IIM Raipur sure makes you feel like "you will never walk alone". One year passed away in a flash because of the kind of life in the campus never makes you realize how fast time is flowing.

The sports week with banners of different houses hanging around the building and people cheering you around from the balconies in front of their rooms surely gives you a feeling of a mini-stadium. The late night indoor cricket under floodlights can be an amazing experience if you are a cricket lover. The festive celebrations, monthly DJ nights & numerous events truly add up to the experience. What happens in IIM Raipur stays in IIM Raipur. The way the entire batch sits together to watch Ind Vs. Pakmatches even during before the exams is a thing that can't be put into words but only be experienced as a member of the watch.

In the end I would wish you all a very good luck for your future endeavors. Don't be blinded by the rumors around. My experience at IIM Raipur has been astounding. See you here!
