Pgp, fabm, etc, what are these terms in iim of cat application form, can I have to fill all iim related to this term?
- PGP-FABM is a Post Graduate Programme in Food and Agri Business Management course offered in IIM Ahmedabad. The selection of candidates for admission to PGP-FABM at IIM Ahmedabad is a two-step process. In the first step, candidates will be short-listed for Group Discussion and Personal Interviews from among candidates who have applied for the programme and have a valid CAT score and satisfy the eligibility criteria for the programme.
- PGP stands for Post Graduation Programme in Management
In regards to Selection of IIM Programmes and Cities, you can select any no.of programmes and cities. Make sure you select the same city for Interview across. And for exam centre, you can give 4 options and the authorities will select your exam city for you. So in short, you have to select the programme that you are interesred in that particular IIM.

This is where you score 10 marks. Few top Schools select top 5% of Candidates in each Category to shortlist for WAT and PI rounds. So to be shortlisted, this is how your CAT percentile should look like:
QA DLR VARC Overall
General: 70 70 70 80
NC-OBC/Trans: 65 65 65 75
SC: 60 60 60 70
ST: 50 50 50 60
PwD-UR,OBC,SC: 60 60 60 70
PwD: ST: 50 50 50 60
If you can make this score, then the CAT composite score will be calculated and that will look like this:
Composite score is calculated as follows:
10th Standard: 36*[Z Candidate-Z min/Z max- Z min]
12th Standard: 40*[Z Candidate-Z min/Z max- Z min]
CAT 2019 score: 20*[Candidate's overall score /Highest CAT score]
Gender Diversity Factor: = 4 for female applicants
=0 for other applicants
Composite score= sum of the above scores
Now coming to the final selection, the computation of final composite score is considered as follows:
10th Standard: 10*[Z Candidate-Z min/Z max- Z min]
12th Standard: 10*[Z Candidate-Z min/Z max- Z min]
CAT 2019 score: 20*[Candidate's overall score /Highest CAT score]
WAT score: 20*[Z Candidate -Z min/ Z max-Z min]
PI score: 40* [Z Candidate-Z min/Z max-Z min]
Its necessary to study from IIM or iit to startup?
Hello there !
Greetings!
Of late, one has seen a rise in the number of startups by IIT and IIM graduates. Actually iit or iim tag is useful, but not necessary to have a start up.
Thus it's not necessary that one needs to be from iit or iim to have a start up. It's all about having great start up ideas , if one has an idea , he can have a start up even without completing graduation. You can do the courses you need to start your own business , build a strong network, and get out of your comfort zone to have your own start up.
Thankyou
Dear sir, can I have to apply for all iim separately after cat result? Please guide me what should I do after cat result ? I have confusions
- IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Calcutta and IIM Bangalore conduct their admission process separately.
- The newly established IIMs follow a Common Admission Process which is also called CAP. The shortlisted candidates will have to appear for a Common Written Ability Test and Personal Interview Rounds. A separate Institute wise merit list will be prepared and this merit list will be declared based on individual admission and selection criteria.
- IIM Sirmaur, IIM Jammu, IIM Nagpur will release their own merit list according to the CAT score or percentile and profile of the Candidate. There are no further rounds for these Institutions.
- The B schools which do not fall under IIMs will conduct their own selection process. The process of selection such as Group Discussion, Written Ability Test and Personal Interview are conducted at the Institution's discretion.
- IMT Ghaziabad, MICA conduct group activity or group exercise instead of group discussion. Some Institutioms also conduct Written Ability Test and Personal Interviews after Group Discussion.
Dear sir, if I dont get any iim then how can I get admission in other but school please help
After being shortlisted on the basis of your CAT score, there will be Written Ability Test and Personal Interview. Those Institutions which do not fall under IIMs but are top B Schools also follow this procedure.
How many questions should i attend in quants section to get to iim?
Quantitative Ability
Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension
Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning
The Verbal Ability section and Reading Comprehension has 34 Questions, Data interpretation-Logical Reasoning section has 32 MCQ questions and Quantitative Ability has 34 MCQ questions totalling up to 100 questions. Each Question has 3 marks and a wrong answer takes away 1 mark.
Most IIMs give weightage to QA section while FMS Delhi gives importance to VARC section. Now what we need to remember is that CAT has negative marking. So it is not the no.of questions you need to attempt. The emphasis should be on how many questions should you get correct. Based on your Category, your QA score will differ. For someone from General Category, you need atleast 80% from QA section. Most IIMs have the same cut off for QA section. It is 70% for OBC, 60% for SC,ST. The total score is adjusted through a method called Equating. And then the score will be normalised across all sections. QA section has 34 questions and lets say you attempted 17 and answered 13 correct. Then the Accuracy is calculated as 13/17*100 which is 76%. Going by this, you should atleast answer 20 questions correct. Lets say you attempted 25. Then, 20/25*100 and then the accuracy is 80%.
Now, we know what to do. Lets also see how to do it:
Quantitative Aptitude covers almost 30% of the CAT question paper. QA can be categorised into Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry and Advanced Mathematics. Practise chapter by chapter and develop mental calculations. Like practise more of basic summation, subtraction, fractions and tables. Numbers, Percentage, Profit and Loss, Simple and Compound Interest, Ratio, Proportionality, Time-Distance, Time-Work, Mixtures, Averages, Partnership, Permutation and Combinations, Probability, Set Theory, Progression and Series, Line, Angles, Triangles, Quadrilaterals, Polygon, Circles, Ares, Volume, Height and Distance, Coordinate Geometry, Basic Trigonometry are few important topics.
Preparation tips:
Because this section involves mathematics and takes most of your time, your focus should be on solving the problems efficiently in the beginning. Even if it takes time, practise upto perfection. Practise as many questions as you can in the conventional way. As and when you get a grip on the subject, you can go for short cuts. Memorise tables, square roots, cube roots, conversion from percent to fraction, etc. Solve sample papers on Mathematics. In the beginning, do not worry about the time it takes. As you practise, you will get the hang of the subject and it will be easier for you.

I got 72% in 10th, 66% in 12th and 70% in graduation so am i eligible for xlri and iim if i get good cat score?
There are 20 IIMs in India.And all the 20 IIMs have their own Selection Criteria based on your CAT score.Now your 10th, 12th and Graduation marks carry a weightage of 5-7.5% depending on the IIM you are interested in. Few IIMs like IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Indore, Lucknow, etc conduct Written Ability Test, Personal Interview and then the Final Selection Process follows. The basic eligibility criteria remains the same but off late IIMs have been giving Sectional weightage to CAT composite score. For example;
IIM Ahmedabad:
QA DLR VARC Overall
General: 70 70 70 80
NC-OBC/Trans: 65 65 65 75
SC: 60 60 60 70
ST: 50 50 50 60
PwD-UR,OBC,SC: 60 60 60 70
PwD: ST: 50 50 50 60
IIM Bangalore:
QA DLR VARC Overall
General: 80 80 85 90
NC-OBC: 70 70 75 80
SC: 65 65 70 75
ST: 60 60 60 70
PwD: 50 50 50 50
IIM Calcutta:
QA DLR VRC Over All
OPEN : 75 80 80 85
NC-OBC: 65 65 70 75
EWS: 65 65 70 75
SC: 60 60 65 70
ST: 55 55 55 65
PWD: 55 55 55 65
IIM Indore:
QA DLR VARC Overall
General 80 80 80 90
NC-OBC 70 70 70 80
SC 55 55 55 60
ST 45 45 45 50
PwD 45 45 45 50
IIM Lucknow:
QA DLR VARC Overall
General 85 85 85 90
NC-OBC 77 77 77 82
SC 55 55 55 70
ST 50 50 50 65
PwD 50 50 50 65
Method of scoring can be found on the official website of the IIMs you are interested in. Those candidates who are eligible after these 2 rounds are called for Written Ability and Personal Interview Test. The final score is calculated based on this scale for IIM Lucknow:
Common Admission Test: 30
Academic Performance (12th + Graduation): 5+5
Diversity Factor (DF academics +DF gender): 5
Work Experience: 5
Writing Ability Test: 10
Personal Interview: 40
Final Score: 100
Because CAT exam will be held at different slots, CAT scores will be normalised to ensure equivalence in the difficulty levels of the exams for both slots. IIM Kozikhode will normalise the CAT scores using percentile equivalence. Adjustment of location and scale differences of score distributions across different norms and then scores will be normalised. These scores will be then converted into percentiles for shortlisting and selection purposes. So to be honest wih you, if you can manage a 99 percentile score in CAT, you will be able to pull off a feat and manage to get a call from any of the IIMs. Having said that, I alsp want to bring to your attention, the selection process of the IIMs so that your preparation can be target based:
IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Calcutta and IIM Bangalore conduct their admission process separately having their own weightage for Academic section, Work experience, Diversity factor, etc.
You can check their selection criteria in detail at:

The newly established IIMs follow a Common Admission Process which is also called CAP. The shortlisted candidates will have to appear for a Common Written Ability Test and Personal Interview Rounds. A separate Institute wise merit list will be prepared and this merit list will be declared based on individual admission and selection criteria.
IIM Sirmaur, IIM Jammu, IIM Nagpur will release their own merit list according to the CAT score or percentile and profile of the Candidate. There are no further rounds for these Institutions
But other Top B Schools and Other Participating Institutions release their cut offs post the declaration of CAT scores.
Dear sir, after cat results iim shortlist student own or I have to register for all iim and other college separately?
Hello there!
Greetings!
Yes you need to apply separately, MBA aspirants will be required to apply separately within the allotted dates to the institutes accepting CAT scores.
Candidates will be shortlisted for the selection rounds mostly based on their performance in the CAT 2019 examination i.e., their secured scores or percentile.
Every participating institute will be releasing their own cutoff of CAT 2019. The cutoff will be prepared after checking various factors related to the entrance examination. Those candidates who meet the cutoff will be eligible for the selection rounds of admission.
During the selection procedure of CAT 2019, the candidates will be assessed by the admission committee of the participating institutes on the basis of their percentile secured in the entrance exam, past academic records, work experience and more. After the candidates are selected, they will have to participate in the selection rounds which consists of written ability test, personal interview and group discussions.
thankyou
If i get multiple calls from different IIMs, is it compulsory to attend all their interviews? Will ignoring them affect my future prospects?
Hello there!
Greetings!
There's no rule that says that you need to attend all the interviews , so you can definitely ignore the interviews of the iims ,for which you are not interested. This will not affect your future as every IIM has its own parameters, different weightages, they make separate merit list and call students separately. So you don't need to worry about it at all.
Thankyou
