Don't judge yourself before you appear in any of WAT & PI. You need to know one thing that in every IIM a new merit list is made after the second round of WAT & PI which includes marks of WAT & PI. And you should be glad to know that generally in most of the IIMs interview & WAT marks along with CAT marks have highest weightage. Even there are IIMs like IIM Kozhikode which gives 0% weightage to academic records in the final merit list and 60% to WAT & PI together.

See don't judge yourself before you appear in any of WAT & PI. You need to know one thing that in every IIM a new merit list is made after the second round of WAT & PI which includes marks of WAT & PI. And you should be glad to know that generally in most of the IIMs interview & WAT marks along with CAT marks have highest weightage. Even there are IIMs like IIM Kozhikode which gives 0% weightage to academic records in the final merit list and 60% to WAT & PI together.

 

Final weightage criteria:

 

  • IIM Ranchi: CAT score: 30%, PI score: 30%, WAT score: 10%, Profile: 30%-- Profile break-up--Academic- Xth and XIIth: 15 %, Work experience: 5, Academic Diversity (Non engineering): 5, Gender Diversity: 5
  • IIM Kashipur: WAT: 10, PI: 30, CAT Absolute score (including all above): 60
  • IIM Rohtak: CAT Score: 35%, PI and WA: 30, WE and PAP and diversity: 35%
  • IIM Udaipur: CAT Score*: 55%, Personal Appearance (WAT: 6% & PI: 15%): 21%, Profile: 24% (Academic profile: 8% [Xth: 2% , XIIth:2% , Under Graduation: 4%], Work experience: 6%, Diversity: 10% [Academic: 5 and Gender Diversity: 5])

 

 

You never know that if you perform excellently in your second round then you might get a chance to get enrolled in one of the finest IIMs, maybe not in the first list but possibly in the extended lists.

 

And even if you are not able to convert your call, you will be able to learn a lot both during preparation and during the process which will help you a lot to develop yourself. And if you plan to appear in CAT exam next year then again this your self-experience will be invaluable.

So don't miss this chance. Try your best and learn your maximum through it.

All the best!!
