Admission Process:

The admission process for the PGP program comprises two stages:

1. Shortlisting candidates for WAT/PI round.
2. Final Selection of candidates post WAT/PI round.

1. Shortlisting and Selection criteria -

Preliminary Screening -

The candidates must clear the minimum percentiles given in the table below to be considered for subsequent stages:

Application Rating is the sum of rating scores (A, B, C) based on percentages obtained in 10th standard, 12th standard, and bachelor's.

Rating Scores for 10th Std.

Rating Scores for 12th Std.

IIM Bangalore adopts a two-phase selection process. The first phase process is applied to all eligible candidates who appear for CAT 2025 to determine those qualifying candidates who will be called for a personal interview (PI).

The admission process for the PGP program comprises the following stages.

• Shortlisting candidates for PI round.
• Final Selection of candidates post PI round

Admission Process:

The admission process for the PGP program comprises two stages.

• Shortlisting candidates for WAT/PI round.
• Final Selection of candidates post WAT/PI round

During the first stage, initially a pool of candidates who satisfy the following minimum CAT percentiles are considered.

Among the pool of candidates who meet the above mentioned percentiles, a list of candidates who would be called for attending Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview rounds is generated using the following parameters.

One point to be noted here is that IIM Lucknow has given 60 marks out of 100 marks to the CAT performance of a candidate. This goes on to show that performing well in CAT would go a long way in securing a WAT/PI call from this premier B-school.

Stage 2 - Final selection of candidates

The following are the parameters and their weightages during the WAT/PI stage:

Note: The minimum requirement for getting a pass in Personal Interviews is 12 out of 40 marks. Names of candidates who do not pass in PI will not be included in the final merit list.

To conclude, one important observation about this year's selection process is that the total weightage for parameters which are controllable (CAT, WAT, and PI) in the final selection stage has been kept at a whopping 80%. This ensures that the applicants, who do not have a good academic profile or work experience can still aspire to join IIM Lucknow by preparing well for CAT, WAT, and PI rounds.

The admission process for the PGP program comprises the following stages.

1. Registration of candidates who meet the minimum eligibility criteria
2. Shortlisting candidates for the PI round
3. Final Selection of candidates post PI round

In Stage 1, the minimum eligibility criteria applied to candidates opting for IIM Kozhikode are: only those obtaining a positive (greater than zero) raw score in all sections of CAT 2025 will be considered. Candidates with a graduation degree must secure a minimum of 60 percent aggregate marks, and those without a graduation degree must obtain at least 50 percent aggregate marks in CA/ICWA/CS. Candidates with 50 percent aggregate marks in CA/CMA(ICWA)/CS and a Graduation Degree must secure a minimum of 60 percent aggregate marks in their Graduation Degree.

Apart from the above, initially, a pool of candidates who meet the following minimum CAT 2025 percentiles and SSC/HSC percentages are considered.

All candidates who have opted for IIM Kozhikode and are fulfilling the above-mentioned minimum eligibility criteria would receive an email for online registration for admissions to IIM Kozhikode. Only those candidates who have successfully completed the online registration process for IIM Kozhikode will be considered for Stage 2. Please note that this is a pre-interview registration process and not the call for an interview.

Shortlisting candidates for PI round

The following is the criteria used while shortlisting candidates for the PI round:

The details of each component are given as follows:

1. CAT Index Score: Scaled scores from the three sections (with equal weightages) of CAT will be considered for the computation of the CAT Index Score. The CAT Index Score will carry a weight of 45%.
2. SSC/Class X/Equivalent Percentage Score: The percentage of marks obtained in SSC/Class X/Equivalent would be calculated based on the aggregate marks of all subjects. The percentage scores are first adjusted and then multiplied by 25.
3. HSC/Class XII/Equivalent/Diploma Percentage Score: The percentage of marks obtained in HSC/Class XII/Equivalent/Diploma would be calculated based on the aggregate marks of all subjects. The percentage scores are adjusted and then multiplied by 15.
4. Marks are awarded for gender/academic diversity. Only female/transgender candidates are eligible for a gender diversity score of 10. A candidate with a degree in a discipline other than Engineering/Technology will be eligible for an academic diversity score of 5. A candidate is entitled to only one of the diversity scores.
5. Work Experience Score: Calculated as 5x/36, where x is the number of months of work experience up to 31 December 2025. If x < 6 or x > 36, the score is 0.

Final Selection of candidates post PI round

The short-listed candidates will have to appear for WAT & PI. The panel will evaluate academic efforts, general awareness, attitude, personality, communication, and quality of work experience. The resume score will be based on the quality of academic and professional qualifications.

The following is the criteria used during the final selection stage:

Admission Process:

The admission process for the PGP program comprises the following stages.

• Shortlisting candidates for PI round.
• Final Selection of candidates post PI round

During the first stage, initially a pool of candidates who satisfy the following minimum CAT percentiles are considered.

Among the pool of candidates who meet the above mentioned percentiles, a list of candidates would be called for attending Personal Interview depending on their performance in CAT.

One point to be noted here is that for shortlisting candidates for PI rounds IIM Trichy is considering only the CAT performance of a candidate. This goes on to show that performing well in CAT would go a long way in securing a PI call from this premier B-school.

The following are the weightages that would be considered during the final selection of candidates:

The above performance shall be measured by multiplying the percentage marks scored by the weightage applicable to the discipline, as shown below.

5(five) percent of the score so obtained shall be considered in the overall evaluation. [UG performance score = (percent score at UG * discipline weightage) * 0.05]

To encourage diversity in the batch, differential weightage, as shown below, shall be applied to different disciplines:

• Engineering / Technology: 0.7
• Science/Arts / Medicine (including Pharmacy)/Commerce / Economics / Management/other disciplines: 1.0

To conclude, one important observation about this year's selection process is that the total weightage for parameters which are controllable (CAT and PI) in the final selection stage has been kept at a whopping 75%. This ensures that the applicants, who do not have a good academic profile or work experience can still aspire to join IIM Trichy by preparing well for CAT and PI rounds.

IIM Raipur’s Admission Committee will decide the PGP programme requirements for the Institute and the final number of candidates who would be called for the PI process on the basis of criteria prepared for each category. However, if the actual number of short-listed candidates is found to be less (or more) than the required number of candidates to be called for PI category-wise, then the overall as well as section-wise minimum score, would be reduced (or increased) to get the desired number of candidates.

One point to be noted here is that for shortlisting candidates for PI rounds IIM Raipur is considering only the CAT performance of a candidate. This goes on to show that performing well in CAT would go a long way in securing a PI call from this premier B-school.

The following are the weightages that would be considered during the final selection of candidates:

Note - 25% weightage to overall CAT score, 6% each to VA/RC & DI/LR and 5% to DI/LR score.

Weights for 12th Standard and Graduation:

*Note: percentage to be calculated for all the subjects that appear in the mark sheet irrespective of the method of calculation by respective board/institutes/universities.

Academic Consistency: Academic consistency weightage is based on the consistency of percentage of marks / SGPA that the candidate obtained during Graduation.

Degree program duration: Candidates with a 4-year degree program at Bachelor/Undergraduate level would be awarded one (1) extra mark.

Personal Profile Mapping: Personal profile mapping seeks to measure a candidate’s fit to IIM Raipur’s PGP program. It is a mandatory component to be completed to be considered to be part of the merit list. After the PI process is completed, candidates would get the invite to complete this component within a certain reasonable duration. It would take around 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete this component. Expected timeline would be around March-April 2024 timeframe.

Work Experience:

* Only relevant work experience after graduation in terms of completed months will be considered. Candidates should ensure that the work experience claimed is authentic and professionally significant enough to deserve credit. For instance, no consideration is given to any time spent as an intern, either during or after the course of study in a program, or any periods of apprenticeship such as articleship required as part of certain professional courses, or any unpaid work undertaken in any organization or institution.

The work experience will be verified based on the relevant documents (including experience certificate, appointment or relieving letter, first and last month’s pay slips, bank statement etc), which needs to be mandatorily produced by the candidate at the time of PI and subsequent admission-related processes. Note that the work experience certificate should be furnished on a letterhead of the employer organization, should carry a seal of the employer, and be duly affirmed by the authorized signatory.

Presentation of employment claims that are not in conformity with the requirements above is liable to be considered incomplete and disregarded by IIM Raipur at its sole discretion. Further, IIM Raipur is at liberty to verify any or all of the employment-related claims made by the candidate. Upon such verification, if it is found that some or all of the claims made are factually untrue, such candidate may be disqualified from being considered for admission to IIM Raipur. After a candidate joins the PGP at IIM Raipur, if it comes to the institute's notice reliably that the candidate had made claims that cannot be substantiated as factual and correct, the candidate is liable to be expelled from the program forthwith. In the event of such expulsion, the candidate will forfeit any fees paid until such expulsion.

To conclude, one important observation about this year's selection process is that the total weightage for parameters which are controllable (CAT and PI) in the final selection stage has been kept at 68%. This ensures that the applicants who do not have a good academic profile or work experience can still aspire to join IIM Raipur by preparing well for CAT and PI rounds.
