This second post on RTI Data 2024 covered insights about the PGP 2024-2026 batch of IIM-A and FABM (Agri-Business Management) 2024-26. It highlights the total number of students who applied, got called for an interview, accepted the offer, and other batch details- minimum and maximum CAT percentile, pre-PI and post-PI composite score, work experience, and education background across the reservation categories.
