Intake remains at 60 IIM Nagpur does not propose to increase the intake from 60 students even for its second PGP batch although it was decided in the Union Cabinet Meeting held on June 24, 2015 that the new IIMs should have an intake of 140 students each. It appears that the intake has been kept at the last years level due to the fact that not even 60 students preferred to go for IIM Nagpur in its maiden batch. The current strength of the first batch at IIM Nagpur is 55 students, 5 short of the intake.
Good opportunity to get IIM Those who have not been shortlisted by IIMs but are keen to pursue their MBA/PGP 2016-18 from an IIM, it could be a good opportunity for them since the required CAT 2015 percentile by IIM Nagpur is not very high and it is very much possible that the applicants may get admission in IIM Nagpur even at a lower score.
