How good is the EFPM program from IIM Rohtak and what are the career prospects in the long run?
IIM Rohtak is the wrong place to study EFPM/FPM. It is a part-time program offered by IIM Rohtak that is not a degree program or recognized as a Ph.D. After paying 75% of the total fee, the program has 50-60% dropouts in various batches in the first 1.5 years. The Institute is adamant about not making it a Ph.D. program, as most IIMs have.
The curriculum load is extremely heavy, with extremely stringent rules and regulations that are impossible to manage with a regular job. The faculty's overall attitude toward experienced industry executives is also unprofessional. The administration is the absolute worst. There is no knowledge of new research areas.
Which laptop is better for IIM IPM Rohtak students? Macbook or windows laptop?

I went to IIM-Rohtak's website, entered my details. It said I was shortlisted. Does that mean I have been shortlisted for all IIM's in CAP or just Rohtak?

All the IIMs will call you separately if they shortlist you. Though you need to appear for the CAP if you get shortlisted in only one of the nine newly formed IIMs. For more detailed information, you should check the official website of the institute.
Also, keep yourself updated by visiting the websites regularly so that you would not miss out on the deadlines for the forms and other related information.
