2. Shortlisting for Analytical Writing Test (AWT) & Personal Interview (PI)

Shortlisting will be carried out in two stages.

Stage 1:(From the Applicants' pool: Selection of exceptional performers across different disciplines)

IIMA endeavours to recognise exceptional performers in terms of their previous academic records as well as their performance in CAT across diverse academic backgrounds. Towards that, a certain number of top candidates from each of the academic disciplines will be shortlisted for AWT & PI on the basis of their composite score CS' (see below) subject to their fulfilling certain criteria.

From each of the academic categories (AC) for which the total number of applicants to IIMA who appear for CAT-2018 from SC/ST/NC-OBC/PwD categories is at least 100, thetop 5%in the respective AC limited to the respective categories (General/SC/ST/NC-OBC/PwD) among the applicants to IIMA who appear for CAT-2018, henceforth referred to as ACRC groups, (subject to upper limits on the numbers per ACRC group as specified in Table 5) will be shortlisted for AWT & PI on the basis of the composite score CS' (see below) subject to their fulfilling criteria C1-C3.

3. Final Selection

Selection at this stage will strictly be based on the shortlisting of the candidates done separately for each category (General/SC/ST/NC-OBC/PwD) on the basis of their Final Composite Score's (FCS). The numbers selected in different reservation categories will be in proportions mandated by law.

The FCS of a candidate who appears in AWT & PI will be computed as follows:

FCS = 0.50 (Normalised PI Score) + 0.10 (Normalised AWT Score) + 0.40 (CS).

The normalised PI and AWT scores of a candidate are their scores in the respective field divided by the average of the top 1% scores in the same field respectively.

The following information is about the admission process followed by IIMA for its PGP subsequent to CAT. It is therefore, important for the candidates to read them carefully.

Performance in CAT is an important input in the admission process. Candidates should note that it is important to perform well in each section of the test. In addition to the performance in CAT, IIMA uses academic performance of the candidates throughout their academic career up to the bachelor's level for shortlisting for AWT & PI.

Please note that IIMA shortlists candidates for AWT & PI independent of the other IIMs. Hence it is possible to observe variations in the lists of the candidates shortlisted by different IIMs.

Details of the candidates shortlisted will be made available on the IIMA website (www.iima.ac.in) tentatively by the second week of January 2019 after the CAT results are published. Shortlisted candidates would also be sent AWT & PI call letters by IIMA. No communication would be sent to applicants who are not shortlisted for AWT & PI.

After the AWT & PI round, admission offers are made by IIMA to successful candidates. The final selection is based on a diverse set of attributes which includes performance in CAT, performance in AWT & PI, academic, co-curricular and extra-curricular achievements, work experience etc.

Disclosure of information about the admission process is driven by concerns which at times conflict with each other. IIMA would like the admission process to be transparent. At the same time, IIMA would wish to protect the privacy of the individual candidates and confidentiality of the process to prevent abuse. Based on these considerations, the details of the performance of an individual are not made available to any other person. Similarly, the details of the performance of a candidate in AWT & PI, including assessment of attributes mentioned under paragraph 4 above, is not disclosed to anyone to prevent exercise of undue pressure on the panelists participating in the admission/selection process. IIMA exercises its own discretion in disclosing weights assigned to diverse sets of attributes mentioned under paragraph 4 above. To ensure that the perceived lack of transparency does not in any way affect the candidates negatively, adequate care is taken in formation of the interview panels, development of objective criteria for assessment, random allocation of candidates to interview panels and other such measures.

Candidates, who appear in AWT & PI will be able to view whether they have been offered admission by IIMA tentatively during the second week of April 2019 by visiting the IIMA website. Admission offer letter would be sent to all successful candidates. Candidates, who are offered admission, need to confirm their acceptance by completing all the required formalities by the first/second week of May 2019. Some candidates may also be placed on the waiting list initially during the second week of April 2019. Offers to candidates on the waiting list would depend upon the number of successful candidates accepting the offer made by IIMA.

Dear Gajendra



It's hard to get a call from IIM form any of the premises because there are two reasons behind that firstly your Graduation percentage is less than 60% and secondly those who will score more than 95 percentile in CAT entrance exam have the highest probability of getting a call from the IIM premises. But yaah if you are expecting 90 percentile in CAT then definitely with this much of score you can be able to get the good college.



All the best

Hi,



To get a call from any IIM if you are in general category it is better for you to have at least 95 percentile. Infact in the initial stages for getting a call sectional cutoffs and overall CAT percentile matter a lot.



However 90 percentile is a good score to have in CAT. This percentile can give you a chance from a good B school. You can consider colleges like IITs, IMT, IMI, JBIMS and other top B schools which are among the top 20.

Hi Gajendra,

You have an average academic profile. This profile needs to be supported by 95%ile to get a call from IIMs. I feel 90%ile is less loooking at the competition prevailing this year. But do not lose hopes and keep trying for other exams like XAT, SNAP, CET etc.

Good Luck.

I don't think so . Because there are a lot of people with much better grades and percentile who file an application for iim.
