Claude's answer

IIM Indore accepts UG qualifications that are 3-year or longer programs from UGC-recognized universities, but less common qualifications (diplomas, 2-year degrees) aren't accepted for the mainline PGP. The JAP 2026 admission policy (used across IIMs Raipur, Ranchi, Kashipur, Visakhapatnam, Bodhgaya, Jammu, Sirmaur, etc.) specifies minimum 50% UG marks (45% for reserved categories) across all recognized bachelor's degrees.

IIM Indore at Rs 16.5L fees and Rs 25 LPA average requires CMA/CWA/CA equivalent recognition for finance qualifications. Specialized UGs like MBBS, LLB, B.

Arch (5-year programs), B.Ed, and foreign-accredited degrees are recognized. Candidates with diplomas must first complete a bachelor's degree; B.

Com, B.Sc, BA, B.Tech, B.

Pharma, B.Des, B.Arch are all accepted.

IIM Indore has had MBBS doctors, veterinary scientists, and dentists in past batches, showing non-traditional UG diversity. For candidates with specialized UG like LLB, apply but expect fewer fresher marketing/consulting shortlists because recruiters may pigeonhole you into law-adjacent firms. Mid-career candidates with PG degrees should apply through CAT with workex; age 25-30 is fine.

Board score evaluation considers 10th and 12th from CBSE, ICSE, state boards, IB, and foreign boards. Non-standard board scores are normalized using IIM I's internal formula. For candidates from abroad with foreign UG, provide equivalence certificate from AIU.
