Indian Institute of Management Calcutta
IIMs shortlist candidates for the interview stage based on their own criteria, which may be independent of each other. The process may include Written Ability Test, Group Discussion, and Personal Interviews. Performance in the CAT examination is an important component in the admission process. IIMs may additionally use other factors such as the previous academic performance of the candidates, relevant work experience, gender and academic diversity and other similar inputs in shortlisting and ranking of candidates at various stages of the admission process. The processes, academic cut-offs and the weights allocated to the evaluation parameters may vary across IIMs. If you look at IIM A, the 10th rating scale would be as follows:
10th Rating:
Percent score Rating Score
<= 55 1
> 55 and <= 60 2
> 60 and <= 70 3
> 70 and <= 80 5
> 80 and <= 90 8
> 90 10
Now the same rating scale is used for 12th marks as well. And then there is a different rating scaled for each of the Graduation streams. IIM B has different rating scale where in your 10th and 12th marks carry 20 and 10 percent and Graduation marks carry 20 percent on the selection criteria. IIM C has 04 points reserved for Academic diversity. And they do not have anything as such called Academic Relaxation marks.

Hello Ninad,
During the interview, the members of panel wants to know about you, and how much passionately you are doing things in your life. They go through your academic profile as well. If you have some extra and interesting things to show it will definitely attract the panel. And they are bound to ask questions related to that course. If you are able to give answers, you will surely get benefitted. But stating a certificate doesn't means marks always. Your marks may get deduce also, so be careful.
Hope this will be helpful.
Good luck
Hi Ninad,
CAT scores are used for admission by 20 IIMs and various other management institutes across the country. Approximately about two lakh students or more appear for this exam every year.
CAT started in 1950 as a paper-based exam and transformed to become an online-entrance test in 2009. The question paper consists of 100 questions (MCQs) and the students are required to solve the same in 180 minutes. The number of questions might differ every year and are pre-informed to the students. Registration for CAT starts in the month of August or September and the exam is held in November or December.
The exam consists of four segments: Verbal, Quantitative, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning. These segments are accordingly grouped into sections. CAT has three sections:
The selection process of IIMs involves a public declaration of expected cut-offs and reveal the final cut-offs only to the students involved in the process.
The top IIMs have declared their cut-off criteria as shown below,
There are various factors that determine the percentile kept for CAT cut-off. They are listed below,
Further there are two types of cut-offs in the selection process,
Let me give a snapshot of the previous year’s cut-off of some top IIMs,
Category
CAT 2017 cut off (percentile)
CAT 2016 cut off (percentile)

As we can see, there is not drastic change in the percentile for cut-off, we can take them safely for next year as well as for a student’s target. But the IIMs declared cut-off is the final cut-off required to clear.
After the candidate has cleared the required cut-off to be eligible for further selection, they will be subjected to Group Discussions and Personal Interviews. Candidate must take this round very seriously as this round can be interpreted as selection round unlike the CAT round, which is a pure eliminator round. IIMs like IIM Shillong, IIM Kozhikode also conduct GD round based on the WAT.
After the final selection round, a weightage is awarded to entrance scores, academic profile & diversity, work experience and gender diversity, and a final merit list is generated. Based on this merit list, admission offers are made by the respective B-schools to the deserving candidates. Also, a waiting list is prepared which contains the names of the students whose admission offers will be made automatically if few students in the original list offer to back out.
All the very best!!
