IIM Nagpur

IIM Nagpur has partnered with the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship for the Mahatma Gandhi National Fellowship (MGNF), aimed at creating a cadre of individuals to strengthen public systems.

IIM Nagpur is a good choice for management aspirants, especially those seeking a fast-growing B-school with IIM brand value. Established in 2015, it has shown steady growth in placements, faculty quality, and infrastructure. The 2024 average package stood at ₹16.74 LPA, and top recruiters included Deloitte, Accenture, and ICICI. It also offers strong industry exposure and a growing alumni network. However, being a newer IIM, it is still building its legacy compared to older IIMs. For students aiming for a solid return on investment and credible academic training, IIM Nagpur is a worthy option.

With a 70 percentile in CAT, getting into the top IIMs (like Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta) is highly unlikely, as they typically require 95+ percentile for general category candidates. However, newer and baby IIMs (like IIM Jammu, IIM Bodh Gaya, IIM Sirmaur) may consider profiles with 70–75 percentile if you belong to reserved categories (SC/ST/PwD) or have a strong academic and work profile.

Yes—General‑category applicants now need an overall 95 CAT percentile and 75 sectional percentiles, and there are only 360 MBA seats. That’s under 0.2 % of roughly 2.4 lakh CAT test‑takers, so competition is intense, though slightly less brutal than at the older IIMs
