IIM Raipur accepts admission in its MBA course only through Common Admission Test (CAT) score; there is no other entrance examination whose score/ rank is accepted by IIM Raipur for admission in the MBA programme. Therefore, candidates willing to take admission to the MBA course at IIM Raipur must appear in the CAT exam and secure a good score to become eligible for the personal interview (PI) round.

While filling out the CAT application form candidates need to keep some documents with them which are required to be uploaded to complete the CAT application process. Here is the list of those required documents.

• Class 10 mark sheet
• Class 12 mark sheet
• UG degree
• Work experience certificate
• Adhaar Card
• Date of Birth proof
• Address proof
• Caste category certificate (if applicable)
• Scanned images of photograph and signature
• Credit/Debit card or Internet banking details for fee payment.

The answer to this question of whether an average student can get into IIM can be both yes and no depending on the definition of an average student.

• Based on Academics (Class 10/ Class 12/ Graduation): While a student with average scores in Class 10, Class 12 and graduation with a good CAT score certainly has good chances of getting a call from IIM-A, chances are less for someone with an average CAT score.
• Based on student category (General or Reserved): While it is tough for a General category average student to grab a seat at IIM due to high score requirements, a reserved category student can get admission being at average scores as well.
• Based on past work experience, diversity and other factors: Gender and academic diversity is also a factor on which students are shortlisted at IIM. IIMs judge the past academic category based on the degree obtained by the students before MBA and then a weightage is allotted based on that. For Engineers, the percentage for scoring the highest marks is higher as compared with other streams
• Performance in selection rounds: Once you make it to the final selection rounds, i.e., AWT/PI process, it can be considered a fresh start. At this stage, students can forget their past average-ness but definitely require good grasp over the past subjects as academics-related questions are asked in the interview.

Based on the above factors, it can be considered that while getting into top Management institutes, such as IIM is extremely tough, the past performance, CAT performance, student category and a lot of factors can be the reasons for a student to receive that final call.
