IRMA offers
Post Graduate Programme in Rural Management and conducted IRMA entrance
exam till last year, for the admission to the academic year 2013-15.
Programme in Rural Management (PRM) is recognized as an equivalent to a master’s
degree by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) and is approved by AICTE.
IRMA, during the past years had
not been accepting the CAT scores and used to conduct its own entrance test.
For this year, IRMA had decided to accept the scores of CAT 2013 for
the admission to 2014-16 batch of Post Graduate Diploma in Rural Management
(PRM) and Fellow Programme in Rural Management (FPRM), as the Supreme Court’s
decision on IRMA admission test for 2014 is pending. This is the first time
IRMA will accept CAT scores.
After the Supreme Court verdict which stated that B-schools have to consider only 5 MBA entrance exams namely CAT, XAT, CMAT, ATMA and GMAT for their admission, IRMA, in 2012 filed a petition in this apex court to let the IRMA entrance exam continue for the admission to its Post Graduate course. The decision on the petition is still pending.
