As of 7 November 2026, NIRDPR’s CPGS admissions hub says the advertisement is coming soon. The official notices reviewed for this page belong to earlier cycles: PGDM-RM Batch 9 for 2026-28 and PGDRDM Batch 24 for 2026-27. They describe different admission routes, but they do not publish a current 2027-28 entrance-score cutoff, a percentile table or a category-wise closing score.
That distinction matters if you are comparing management colleges. A valid score in an accepted test is not the same as a stated minimum percentile. The PGDM-RM notice lists several tests that may be used and says shortlisted candidates proceed to group discussion and personal interview. It does not identify an exam-wise or category-wise cutoff. The PGDRDM notice states a graduation marks threshold; that is an academic eligibility condition, not an entrance-exam score.
Treat coaching-site estimates and cutoffs from unrelated MBA programmes as unofficial for NIRDPR. Wait for the new notice or confirm the rules with CPGS before deciding whether a score qualifies for the next intake.
For its 2026-28 Batch 9, the PGDM-RM notice required a valid score in any one of the listed management admission tests. The list includes CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT, GMAT, ATMA, CUET PG and a management aptitude test conducted by a state government. This is a list of accepted score routes for that notice. It is not a published minimum percentile for any individual exam.
The same notice says candidates shortlisted on their qualifying exam score would be called for group discussion and personal interviews for final selection. It does not publish a score-to-shortlist formula, exam-wise thresholds, seat-by-category closing scores or a counselling-round table. A high score may be useful, but this notice does not let a candidate calculate a guaranteed interview call or admission result from a percentile alone.
The exam list and process are historical, tied to Batch 9 and admission year 2026-28. Before applying for a later PGDM-RM cycle, check whether NIRDPR has changed accepted tests, score-validity years, application steps or the selection stages. Do not assume that a test list from an old brochure applies to the next batch.
The 2026-27 PGDRDM Batch 24 notice describes graduation with at least 50% marks, with 45% for SC, ST and PWD applicants. These percentages refer to graduation marks in that notice. They are not CAT, MAT or another entrance-test percentile, and they should not be presented as an exam cutoff.
The reviewed PGDRDM notice does not provide a numeric entrance-test threshold or a category-wise closing score. Do not transfer the PGDM-RM Batch 9 test list or its group discussion and interview wording to PGDRDM unless a PGDRDM notice explicitly says the same. The institute’s regular-course listing treats PGDRDM and PGDM-RM as separate programmes with different lengths, so applicants should verify each programme’s own rules.
The Batch 24 notice’s 25 June 2026 application deadline has passed. Its eligibility criteria are historical reference for that batch, not a current 2027-28 promise. A new applicant should use the next PGDRDM notice for the applicable graduation threshold, category language, tests and selection procedure.
Check which kind of number a notice gives before comparing scores. A graduation percentage is a prior-academic eligibility condition. An accepted-test list says which exam scores an applicant may submit. A cutoff is a numerical threshold used for eligibility or shortlisting. A final selection stage, such as a group discussion or interview, is yet another part of the process. NIRDPR’s historical PGDM-RM notice documents the test list and the later stages, while the PGDRDM Batch 24 notice states a graduation-mark threshold. Neither reviewed notice provides a programme-specific numeric entrance cutoff.
Also check the notice’s cycle, programme and applicant category. A threshold from PGDM-RM cannot be assumed for PGDRDM; a 2026-28 test list cannot be carried into a new intake; and a general eligibility percentage cannot be substituted for a category-specific rule. If a later notice provides a score table, look for the exam year, programme, applicant category, selection stage and whether the figures are minimum eligibility or actual shortlist cutoffs.
Do not use an unofficial estimate as though NIRDPR published it. If a source does not identify the institute and programme, it cannot establish an NIRDPR cutoff. If a notice gives no numerical threshold, the accurate answer is that the published threshold was not available in that notice, not that the cutoff is zero or that every qualifying score leads to an interview.
When the next notice appears, confirm the exact programme title and batch before checking any score. Ask which examination editions are accepted and whether scores must be valid for a specified admission year. If the notice says applicants are shortlisted, ask whether NIRDPR has published a minimum score, an exam-wise shortlist threshold or a category-wise table. Confirm whether the group discussion and personal interview remain part of the process and how the written score is combined with later stages.
For PGDRDM, verify the current graduation-mark threshold and the exact categories eligible for any relaxed percentage. For PGDM-RM, verify the current accepted test list and score-validity period. Keep those questions separate; a relaxation in graduation marks does not automatically mean a change in entrance-test cutoff.
The CPGS admissions hub lists contact details on its regular-programme contact page. Use that official route when the notice is unclear. Until a new cycle document supplies a number, NIRDPR’s 2027-28 numeric cutoff remains unknown.
