By evaluating candidates' performance in CAT, XAT or CMAT along with other selection criteria such as academic qualifications, work experience, and personal interview, IRMA aims to identify individuals who possess the requisite skills, knowledge, and commitment to contribute effectively to rural development initiatives and pursue careers in the field of rural management.For admissions, IRMA shortlists candidates on two calls:Merit-based Calls: The selection committee will decide the category-wise cutoff for candidates who appeared for CAT 2023, XAT 2024 or CMAT 2024.Profile-cum-merit based Calls:Candidates who fulfil the following criteria will be shortlisted for profile-based calls:Graduation in Agri Packaging and Processing, Agriculture, Agriculture Engineering, Cooperation related to Agricultural Cooperatives, Dairy Technology, Fishery, Food Processing, Food Science, Food Technology, Forestry, Horticulture or Veterinary from recognised universities and colleges.Work experience in the Development Sector, Social Impact, Livelihoods, Policy and Advocacy, Agriculture and Allied Sectors.Hence, if you have a work experience in any of the above departments or sectors, you can expect a profile-based call from IRMA and if you have only appeared for the CAT, XAT or CMAT exam and match the cutoff criteria, then you can expect a merit-based call from IRMA. 

Admission into Post Graduate Diploma in Rural Management at IRMA is a three-stage process: (a) Stage I: CAT or XAT or CMAT score (b) Stage II: Group Activity & Personal Interview (d) Stage III: Selection based on CAT/XAT/CMAT: 35%, Personal Interview: 35%, WAT: 5%, Academic Performance: 5%CAT, CMAT and XAT have a predefined syllabus. CAT tests candidates general aptitude including verbal ability (English), quantitative ability (Mathematics), logical reasoning and data interpretation skills. XAT syllabus consists of English, Quantitative Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, Data Interpretation, Decision Making, General Awareness and Essay Writing. Every candidate who is an aspirant for admission in PGDRM at IRMA earlier, had to undergo IRMA Social Awareness Test (IRMASAT). IRMASAT was a compulsory online test to assess awareness about issues of social concern. From 2022 onwards, IRMASAT was scrapped and the admissions to IRMA are now being done on the basis of CAT, XAT and CMAT scores.
