MBA Selection Criteria

Admission to MBA (PGP) is a two-stage selection that includes a minimum category-wise force on the score in CAT followed by WAT and Personal Interview for the selected candidates.

Initially, the candidates must take the CAT exam conducted at the All India level. Applicants must secure a minimum in cross-section cut off assigned for each category in order to get shortlisted for the next stage of the admissions process.

Stage I:

Shortlisting candidates to the PI-WAT Only those candidates who secured a pre-determined minimum percentile score in each section and the total score of CAT will be shortlisted for the PI-WAT round. Candidates obtaining the positive raw score in every section of the CAT will only be considered.

The following table represents the minimum percentile score requirement for CAT:

Category	Quantitative Aptitude	Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning	Verbal Reading Comprehension	Overall Percentile
General	80	75	75	85
NC-OBC	65	60	60	75
SC	55	50	50	55
ST	35	35	35	40
PwD	35	35	35	40

The candidate’s proportion score in 10th and 12th board exams are initially adjusted by dividing each subscore by the 90th percentile score obtained at their particular board. The same criteria is being tracked for calculating the score for the Bachelor’s degree.

For all the shortlisted candidates, their scores would be adjusted as per the following criteria:

CAT Score	45%
Class 10th Score	10%
Class 12th Score	10%
Bachelor’s Degree	20%
Gender Diversity	10%
Work Experience	5%

The above-mentioned process facilitates the drawing up of the ranking list according to which a number of applicants will be called for the PI-WAT based on the order of their rank.

Note:

Candidates vying for PI/WAT rounds after you remove the minimum requisite CAT percentile will have to appear for the Personal Interview (PI) and Written Analysis Test (WAT) undertaken by the Institute.

The PI (35% weightage) and WAT (15% weightage) rounds sway the scores of the candidates on the final merit list.

Admissions for Post Graduate Program in IIM Amritsar are done based on the ranks of students in a final merit list.
