IIM Rohtak MBA Eligibility Criteria 2026

To be eligible for the IIM Rohtak PGP 2026-28 programme, candidates must satisfy the following criteria:


IIM Rohtak CAT 2025 Cutoffs for PI Shortlisting

Unlike several other IIMs, IIM Rohtak does not apply section-wise CAT percentile cutoffs. Shortlisting for the Personal Interview round is based exclusively on the overall CAT 2025 percentile. The minimum cutoffs are category-wise thresholds; meeting these does not guarantee a PI call, as the final shortlist depends on the pool of eligible applicants per category.

The table below presents the minimum overall CAT 2025 percentile required by each category to be eligible to register for the PI process for PGP Batch.

Note: Meeting the minimum percentile threshold only makes a candidate eligible to register for Stage I. The final shortlist for PI is determined separately, and actual competition percentiles are typically higher than these published minimums.
