Candidates must mandatorily meet the eligibility requisites to be eligible for the selection process. It is highly recommended to visit the official website to learn about the postgraduate courses and the eligibility requisites for the same.
For postgraduate programs, students are selected based on merit. Candidates must undergo the Common Admission Test (CAT)/GMAT. Candidates must qualify for the aforementioned examinations to receive acceptance into the college. Factors like the availability of seats, work experience, and academic history also play a prime role during the selection.
For the postgraduate MBA program, the selection process is divided into 4 steps, namely
The screening process is based on CAT/GMAT cutoffs. Applicants who meet the cutoff requisites qualify for the next round of the selection process.
Individual IIMs have individual score cutoffs, however, this minimum score eligibility does not serve as the sole criteria for selection.
The Common Admission test consists of three sections of evaluation, namely, the Quantitative Aptitude, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning Reasoning, and Reading Comprehension.
The score cut-off chart for CAT 2021 (for each section) can be consolidated as -

Table 2
The applicant is further evaluated based on his/her academic performance. The management institution has implemented the concept of the Application Rating Score (AR). The AR score is a summation of the scores of four elements (A, B, C, D). The AR score consists of -
Matriculation score (class 10) - assigned as A
Senior secondary score (class 12) - assigned as B
Graduation score - assigned as C
Work experience - assigned as D
The Application Rating Score is calculated as AR = (A+B+C+D). The rating scores for each of the elements are calculated as -
Here is the rating score chart for class 10 final scores -

Table 8
Key points -
Final year students would be evaluated based on the available performance reports
A candidate without a bachelor’s degree but a qualification in the CA/CS/ICWA is evaluated based on performance in the final examination (as provided in the application)
AR scores for 10th and 12th standards are calculated irrespective of the educational board’s verdict on their accountability (for evaluation ) of the provided subjects
For calculating the AR score for a bachelor’s degree, scores provided by the educational institution are taken into account. In the case of letter grades, the equivalent scores with attestation from the institutional head/ authority must be provided
AR scores for integrated programs (right after HSC) are calculated by converting the final marks into scores/percentage equivalent to that of a bachelor degree
For final year integrated program students, the available academic performance is taken into consideration
The next step in the selection criteria is shortlisting candidates based on the Analytical Writing Test (AWT) and Personal Interview. Candidates who have passed the preliminary round of screening are shortlisted for the second round (AWT and PI) with the help of composite scores.
The selection process is carried out in two stages -
Stage 1 - Shortlisting outstanding achievers in diverse fields
IIM Ahmedabad (also known as IIMA) weeds out the top performers (in different disciplines) on the grounds of Composite Scores (CS). These candidates are shortlisted for the AWT-PI round.
It has been reported that as many as 100 applicants from all the Academic Categories (ST/SC/PWD/OBC-NCL) sit for the CAT, out of which only the top 5 per cent in each AC will qualify for the AWT-PI round.
Composite Score (CS) is estimated as - CS (Composite Score) = ARF_CS * Normalised AR score + CATF_CS * Normalised overall score in CAT-2021
Note -
Application Rating Multiplication Factor for Composite Score (ARF_CS) = 0.35
CAT Multiplication Factor for Composite Score (CATF_CS) = 0.65
Here are the criteria for selecting exceptional achievers -
Criteria 1 - CAT scores (for Verbal and Reading Comprehension, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning, Quantitative Aptitude) must meet the cut-off percentile (as mentioned in table 1)
Criteria -2 - There are cut-offs allotted for each reserved category. Candidates must meet the percentage (class 10 and class 12) requisites as mentioned in the following table -

Table 9
Criteria 3 -
For bachelor degree holders, the cut-off score is set at the 80th percentile of the percentage of marks scored (for completion of the degree)
Stage 1 acts as an elimination round for shortlisting the most deserving candidates for the AWT and PI rounds. Stage 2 is typically assigned as the AWT-PI round where students are further evaluated based on the composite scores.
This is the final stage of evaluation where applicants are selected on the basis of the Final Composite Scores (FCS). This process is quite rigorous and is undertaken separately for each category (General/SC/ST/NC-OBC/PwD).
The Final Composite Score is computed using the following formula -
FCS = PIF * Normalised PI Score + AWTF * Normalised AWT Score + CATF_FCS * Normalised CAT Score + ARF_FCS * AR
Note -
Personal Interview Multiplication Factor (PIF) = 0.50
AWT Multiplication Factor (AWTF) = 0.10
CAT Score Multiplication Factor for Final Composite Score (CATF_FCS) = 0.25
Application Rating Multiplication Factor for Final Composite Score (ARF_FCS) = 0.15
Normalised PI and AWT scores refer to the ratio of the marks/scores secured (in respective discipline) to the median of the top 1% marks/scores acquired in the same discipline
Key Points -
Results of the selection round are available on the official website. Applicants can retrieve the same after the result of the CAT is announced (tentatively by the second week of January)
Shortlisted candidates receive letters (issued by IIM) for the AWT-PI round
Non-qualifying candidates are not notified on the AWT-PI round
The AWT & PI round marks the end of the selection round, post which IIM provides admission offers to the qualifying candidates.
The selection round does not focus on only one attribute (for admission). A candidate with optimal performance in CAT/GMAT/GRE, AWT-PI round, academics, extra-curricular activities, and work experience have higher odds of cracking through the IIMA admission process
The selection round for the Postgraduate MBA for Executives (PGPX) is a two-step process.
Step 1 - The first step incorporates a Personal Interview (PI) for all the applicants (of the program) satisfying the eligibility criteria. Students who qualify for the first step/round/stage must submit essays on the allotted essay prompts (for the year).
Step 2 - For the second step/round/stage, shortlisted candidates undergo a panel interview. The jury panel typically consists of IIMA faculty. Candidates are evaluated on several attributes, namely -
Professional background
Quality of work-experience
Career progress
Academic history
Leadership
Accomplishment/achievements(in different fields)
Other interpersonal skills
The selection process for MBA in Food and Agri-business Management requires the candidates to appear for a group discussion and personal interview, the results mark the completion of the first round of selection. Candidates must also possess a qualified CAT score. Foreign nationals/NRIs must undergo the same, except, they are evaluated on GMAT/GRE scores.
Shortlisting of candidates is carried out using the following strategy -
CAT scores withhold 70% of weightage, while Application Rating (AR) score accounts for the remaining 30% (weightage)
Preference is allotted to bachelor degrees in the relevant discipline since the program is specific in nature ( for food and agri-business)
For MBA-FABM, the composite scores are calculated as -
Composite Score = 0.3 * ARS (Application Rating Score) + 0.7 * NCS (Normalized CAT Score)
The Application Rating score for MBA-FABM is calculated as -
ARS (Application Rating Score) = [Rating Score A+ Rating Score B + Rating Score C] / 30
Here the elements A, B, C denote the AR score matriculation marks, HSC marks, graduation level marks, and work experience respectively
To calculate the AR score element C, courses and specialisations are grouped within individual Academic Categories (AC). These categories can be tabulated as -
Type of AC |
Courses |
AC1 |
Agricultural Biotechnology, Agricultural Entomology, Genetics & Plant Breeding, Plant Pathology, Seed Science & Technology, Agronomy, Soil Science, Agricultural Business Management, Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Extension, Agricultural Statistics, etc., Animal Husbandry, Dairy Science/Technology, Horticulture including Vegetables and Floriculture |
AC2 |
Agricultural Engineering, Biotechnology, Fisheries, Food Management, Forestry, Veterinary Science, Food Technology and any variants of this degree such as Food and Bio-Technology, Food Process, etc., Rural Studies/Rural Sociology/Rural Cooperatives/Rural Banking, etc |
AC3 |
Commerce/Economics: Accountancy, Auditing, Banking, Business Mathematics, Business Organization, Economics, Economic Development and Planning, Public Administration, Public Finance, Secretarial Practices, etc., Chartered Accountancy, Cost and Works Accountancy, Company Secretaryship, Hotel & Tourism Management, Management (Business Administration, Business Management, Business Studies, Management Studies), Science: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, Biochemistry, Botany, Life Sciences, Zoology, Statistics |
AC4 |
B.E., B.Sc. (Engg.), B. Tech. in all engineering subjects including Computer Engineering, Computer Science, IT |
AC5 |
