Criteria that would be used to select candidates post Personal Interview (PI) and Written Analysis Test (WAT): 
 
The following will be the parameters and corresponding weightages used to arrive at the composite score of the candidates, which will be used to prepare the final merit list for admissions. 
 
1. CAT score: 50 per cent weightage.
 
2. Written Analysis Test (14 per cent weightage):
 
     Vocabulary, content of writing and writing skills
 
3. Personal Interview (14 per cent weightage): 
 
·         Communication Skills
·         Academic Ability
·         Current Affairs & General Awareness
·         Managerial & Leadership Abilities
·         Co-curricular and Extra-curricular Activities
 
4. Work experience (based on quantum and quality of work experience): 5 per cent weightage
 
5. Performance at Undergraduate level: 10 per cent weightage. 
 
This performance shall be measured by multiplying the percentage marks scored by the weightage applicable to the discipline as shown below. 10 per cent of the score so obtained shall be considered in the overall evaluation. [UG performance score = (per cent score at UG * discipline weightage)* 0.10] 
To encourage diversity in the batch, differential weightage, as shown below, shall be applied to different disciplines:
 
·         Engineering / Technology: 0.5 
·         Science/Arts / Medicine (including Pharmacy)/Commerce / Economics / Management/other disciplines: 1.0
 
6. Professional Qualification: 2 per cent weightage                        
    (Pass in the final examinations of CA / ICWA/ CS) 
7. Gender Diversity: 5 per cent weightage for female candidates.

Hello Uma,


All IIMs and private B schools give weightage to your previous academic background starting from 10th, 12th, UG degree when they prepare their shortlist. IIM Trichy is no different. The weightage different IIMs give to each of this can be different. IIMs will release their admission and selection criteria in a few months. To give you an idea, below are the parameters that are generally considered apart from your CAT score, Interview and GD score.

  • Academics - 10th, 12th, UG, PG (if any)
  • Work experience (if any)
  • Gender diversity (Females have advantage)
  • Academic diversity (Non engineers have advantage)
  • Professional qualifications (if any)

You can refer to the below link by careers360 to get an idea about the selection criteria by IIM Trichy for 2018-20.

Good luck!

Yes definitely. IIM-T gives 50% weightage for Cat 28% for Wat-Pi a whooping 10% to past academics like 10th-12th 5% for workex 5% for gender diversity and 2% for proffesional Qualifications. Given that you clear Cat overall and sectional cutoffs. Every IIM has a similar criteria just the percentages change like for Udaipur cat weightage was 53% last year and so on. So if past academics is a problem for you try to score well in Cat and Wat-PI. That 28% has created wonders for people in the past. A coherent Wat and A good PI has also awarded seats to people in the past with a relatively low Cat score so work hard.

All the best.

In short, yes.

IIM Trichy, or any other IIMs give weightage to the past academics and work experince of the candidates.Different IIMs give different weightages to these components.This criteria varies from year to year.Check the admission policy for the college on their website for in detail break-ups of the conponents.

Hey Uma!

Yes, IIM trichy do consider your past academic record. But, if you have 80 percentage in the tenth and twelfth grade, and above 75 percentage in graduation. Your graduation percentage can be lower in case you are an non-engineer. You can easily get IIM trichy with 97 to 99 percentile in CAT.

Dear Uma


IIM trichy definately takes into acocunt the past acads, graduation scores mailnly. But the good thing is they have 55 percent weigtage to cat, so if you score well in cat examination then you can easily expect a call from IIM trichy.

All the best
