IIM Rohtak: programmes, admission, fees and outcomes

IIM Rohtak is an autonomous management institute in Rohtak, Haryana. For applicants planning around the 2027-28 academic edition, the practical starting point is that the latest complete programme rules available in the reviewed material are older, named cycles: PGP Batch 17 (2026-28), IPM Batch 08 (2026-31), and IPL Batch 06 (2026-31). Those documents help explain how the programmes work, but they do not announce the next batch's deadlines, thresholds, charges or seat numbers. Treat those as unannounced until the institute publishes the relevant notice.

The institute offers three distinct five-year or two-year routes at different career stages. Its Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP, MBA) is a two-year residential management programme for graduates. The five-year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) combines undergraduate study with postgraduate management education and begins after Class XII. The Integrated Programme in Law (IPL) combines business and legal study in a five-year BBA-LLB route. The admissions tests, fee schedules, eligibility conditions and decision points differ; compare the exact programme before applying.

The institute’s institutional status, campus facilities and programme portfolio are separate questions from a ranking or placement statistic. Applicants should use official notices to verify the legal and regulatory position relevant to their own programme before paying fees or relying on an older prospectus.

Which programme may fit?

The PGP is the direct route for a graduate seeking a full-time MBA. Its two academic years normally run from June or July through March, according to the 2026-28 prospectus. The programme is a residential commitment, so compare the total cost of study and accommodation with the value of the degree to your own career plan. Published placement statistics describe the institute's reporting cohort; they do not predict an individual offer or salary.

IPM is designed for applicants finishing school who want an integrated management pathway. The Batch 08 prospectus describes 15 terms over five years, with an undergraduate degree followed by an MBA after successful completion. This creates a longer commitment than the PGP and requires a family to compare five-year costs, continuation requirements and the student's interest in management before enrolling. Do not read the IPM's eligibility or test rules as PGP rules: the route is separately administered.

IPL is the integrated law option for students considering business and legal education together. The official Batch 06 prospectus describes a BBA-LLB course spanning five years. Its selection route includes the IPM Admission Test with a legal-reasoning component in that edition. Applicants who want a conventional law degree or a shorter undergraduate course should compare the curriculum and professional pathway carefully; an integrated programme is a different commitment from applying later to a standalone law degree.

The institute's programme pages and prospectuses are the best place to confirm current curriculum, academic progression and application details. A programme can change its curriculum, intake or selection procedure from one batch to another. The existence of an older PDF is useful for understanding a past batch, not proof that its rules remain open for the next intake.

PGP admission: CAT, registration and selection

For PGP Batch 17, Session 2026-28, the official policy describes a five-stage process. CAT 2025 category percentiles of 97 for General, 93 for EWS, 83 for NC-OBC, 60 for SC and 50 for ST were the stated registration minima; the DAP minima were 87, 83, 73, 50 and 40 respectively. These are historical registration thresholds. The policy explicitly says meeting minimum criteria does not ensure a Personal Interview shortlist, so they should not be used as a guaranteed call or offer cutoff.

The Batch 17 final score combined CAT score (60%), Personal Interview (20%), and academic and gender diversity (20%). The policy's details govern that PGP batch only. The institute conducts an independent interview process and does not use PI scores from other IIMs, according to its Batch 17 FAQ. Candidates should check the next batch's policy for its own CAT year, category conditions, shortlisting rules, interview format and final weighting. No 2027-29 PGP policy or CAT year was confirmed in the reviewed notices.

A practical application checklist is to identify the correct programme and batch first, read its eligibility and category rules, register through the institute's own application process where required, and retain proof of each submission. Check the official page for the opening and closing dates before acting: dates in a prior policy are not live deadlines. Keep identity, academic and category documents consistent across the application and any later verification. A high test percentile cannot compensate for a missed separate registration step where the policy requires one.

IPM and IPL admission after school

For IPM Batch 08 (2026-31), the prospectus states minimum aggregate marks of 60% in both Class X and XII for General, EWS and NC-OBC applicants, and 55% for SC, ST and DAP applicants. It also specifies age limits as of 30 June 2026: maximum age 20 years, extended to 25 for SC and ST candidates. These figures belong to that batch and must not be assumed to apply to a future entry year.

The IPM AT 2026 route and its evaluation formula are distinct from CAT-based PGP admission. For that edition, the selection formula included 55% test score, 15% Personal Interview, 10% Class X and 20% Class XII. The test had sections in quantitative ability and verbal ability, with the prospectus providing the exact structure. Candidates should use the relevant prospectus rather than coaching summaries to confirm the test pattern, eligibility calculations, age cut-off and required documents.

The IPL prospectus is separately scoped. Its 2026-31 batch route uses the IPM AT and adds legal reasoning. Verify the exact paper structure and selection weight before preparing; the presence of an IPM AT does not mean every question or admission rule is identical for IPM and IPL. For both school-leaver programmes, confirm whether Class X and XII marks are calculated as aggregate or by another method, what happens when a board has a different grading scale, and which certificates must be submitted. Those details can affect eligibility and should be checked in the active batch notice.

Fees and the cost of attendance

Published charges are batch-specific. The PGP Batch 17 (2026-28) fee total is reported as ₹17.90 lakh in an independent transcription of the institute's linked fee sheet; the underlying official PDF could not be opened during this review. Treat the amount as a qualified reference, and verify the official notice and payment schedule for the batch you intend to join. Additional living costs, deposits or charges may not be included in a single headline total.

For IPM Batch 08 (2026-31), the official schedule lists ₹6,22,045 for each of the first three academic years. The fourth and fifth year fee is described as the PGP fee applicable at that time, so the published first-three-year amount is not a five-year total. Later PGP charges are not fixed by that schedule. Families should model the remaining years as uncertain rather than multiplying the initial amount across all five years.

For IPL Batch 06 (2026-31), the official fee schedule gives a non-hostel total of ₹32,47,450. Hostel, mess and utilities are excluded, and the schedule also names separate charges. Compare like with like: an IPL non-hostel figure cannot be compared directly with a residential total that includes different components. Before accepting an offer, read the current official fee sheet line by line for tuition, deposits, accommodation, mess, annual charges, payment dates and refund rules. Do not rely on a previous batch's schedule as a confirmed 2027-28 price.

Placements: read the cohort and reporting period

Placement figures are retrospective outcomes for particular batches. The institute's final report for the 2023-25 PGP cohort records an average salary of ₹18.73 lakh and a highest salary of ₹36 lakh. Its final 2022-24 report records an average of ₹19.27 lakh, a highest salary of ₹48.25 lakh and a median of ₹17 lakh. Those figures should be read with their cohort, metric and report year; the highest salary is not a typical outcome, and an average can be affected by the distribution of offers.

The NIRF 2025 submission reports a different institutional table: for the two-year PG programme's 2023-24 graduating cohort it lists 227 graduates, all 227 placed, a median salary of ₹19.27 lakh, and no one pursuing higher studies. That NIRF median does not match the final placement report's ₹17 lakh median for the 2022-24 batch. The source years and cohort definitions differ, so retain the discrepancy rather than treating them as interchangeable. Read each table's exact denominator and period before using it in a return-on-investment calculation.

A secondary report transcribing the 2026 placement cycle gives an average of ₹20.03 lakh, median ₹18 lakh and highest salary ₹37.1 lakh, with 303 students reported. The institute's 2026 report was listed but was not available to inspect in this review; treat those figures as secondary reporting, not as an official report verified here. No outcome for the 2027-28 intake is possible to state now. Placement services, recruiter counts and salary summaries may help describe past cohorts, but they cannot guarantee a job, sector, location or compensation for an individual student.

Rankings and what they measure

IIM Rohtak placed 19th in the Management category of India Rankings 2025, published by the National Institutional Ranking Framework. The NIRF Management category evaluates institutions through teaching, learning and resources; research and professional practice; graduation outcomes; outreach and inclusivity; and perception. The 2025 result is institutional and should not be presented as a separate rank for the PGP, IPM or IPL.

The institute's earlier NIRF Management positions were 16 in 2022, 12 in 2023 and 12 in 2024, followed by 19 in 2025. This sequence shows how the institution ranked in those editions; it does not establish a current 2026 rank or a guaranteed future direction. Ranking methods and participating institutions can change. Applicants should compare the category, edition and institution row, and consider whether the measures align with their priorities rather than using one rank as a proxy for teaching in a particular specialization or campus experience.

Scholarships and financial support

The institute's information manual updated 1 July 2025 reports a PGP merit scholarship for the top 10 students in each term in each of the first two years, at ₹1 lakh per term. It also reports 27 PGP recipients in academic year 2024-25. This is a historical description of awards and recipients, not a promise of the same number, amount or eligibility for the 2027-28 intake. Ask the institute for the current terms, selection basis, payment timing and whether an award can be combined with another benefit.

The manual lists government scholarship schemes, including support for eligible SC and ST students, minority students and students with disabilities. The institute's list is not a determination that a particular applicant qualifies. Applicants should check the administering government's current scheme guidelines, income and category conditions, deadlines, required documents and renewal rules. Do not budget against a benefit until eligibility and award status are confirmed.

Doctoral programme support is separate from PGP and school-leaver programme aid. The DPM Batch 14 (2026-30) prospectus describes its own financial support package; its terms should not be transferred to PGP, IPM or IPL. If affordability is decisive, request a written, programme-specific breakdown from the institute and compare the net amount payable after only those awards for which you have confirmed eligibility.

Campus and student resources

IIM Rohtak's 2024 placement brochure describes a campus of about 200 acres at Sunaria and lists classrooms, seminar and auditorium spaces, an activity centre, campus Wi-Fi, healthcare, transport, convenience facilities and an open gym. The same brochure identifies the Knowledge Resource Centre, an information technology resource centre and video-conferencing or executive-learning facilities. These descriptions are dated institutional material; confirm current availability, access rules, hours and programme eligibility before relying on a specific amenity.

The Knowledge Resource Centre's official page describes print and electronic resources, databases, a Web-OPAC and digital access. Remote access depends on the institute's arrangements and user permissions. Students should check which subscriptions are available to their programme and whether off-campus access is included. A library's collection list is not a guarantee that every title or database is available to each user at all times.

Residential details matter especially for IPM and IPL applicants. The IPM 2026-31 prospectus describes shared hostel accommodation and says ground-floor rooms are preferred for DAP students. That is a batch-specific statement, not a complete accommodation guarantee or a substitute for asking about accessibility needs, room allocation, medical assistance and support arrangements. PGP applicants should verify their own accommodation and meal charges separately from tuition. If you need an accommodation adjustment, contact the institute early and obtain written confirmation of the arrangements.

How to make a decision

Start with the programme and its length: the PGP is a two-year postgraduate course, while IPM and IPL are five-year integrated routes after school. Then compare the active admission notice with your eligibility, test route, application steps and likely total cost. Keep historic thresholds and fee schedules clearly labeled. If the next batch's rules are not published, wait for the official notice rather than applying dates or weights from the previous batch.

For outcomes, compare more than one metric and keep the cohort definition attached. Average and median salary answer different questions; a maximum offer says little about a typical graduate. NIRF's graduation outcome table and a final placement report may use different years or groupings, as the Rohtak reports illustrate. Ranking results are also edition-specific. Neither ranking nor aggregate placement data can replace your own assessment of programme fit, learning goals, debt exposure and alternatives.

Before paying a deposit, use the institute's official admission and programme pages to verify the latest notice, fee components, refund policy, required documents and contact route. Save a copy of the exact notice that applies to your application. If a prospectus, FAQ and fee page disagree, ask the admissions office to clarify in writing. This is particularly important when considering future batches because current 2027-28 dates, fees, admission thresholds and placement outcomes were not established by the reviewed materials.
