First off, to be considered for IIM Visakhapatnam, you should appeared for CAT and scored a positive raw score. Now you should also have selected IIM Visakhapatnam as one of your preferences while filling the application form. Only those Candidates who meet both thie requirements will be considered for the selection process. In the Phase 1, the  CAT cut off scores are considered for further shortlisting. And in 2018, the cut offs were as follows:

The shortlisted Candidates will be invited to submit a detailed online application, including a statement of purpose, semester/year wise marks in Bachelor's, copies of all transcripts and certificates, work experience certificates if applicable, Category and PWD certificates if applicable. Only those Candidates shortlisted in this phase will be called in for Personal Interview which happens in Phase 2.During Phase 2 all confirmed candidates will receive an email with a link  to the webpage where in they are required to confirm their interest in pursuing their Candidature at IIM-V. Those Candidates who have confirmed their interest, will be considered for Phase 2 and the shortlist will be prepared. In this phase, the Candidate's percentage scores in the 10th and 12th board exams are adjusted by dividing each score by the 90th percentile score obtained in that board. The database of 10th and 12th scores of all CAT applicants of past 2 years is used for identifying the 90th percentile. The final scores obtained are used for the Bachelor's degree and professional degree if any.

The Work experience is calculated using the below formula:

Score for Work Experience = 8x/36 (if 0 < x < 36)

= 8 (if x >= 36)

Where x is the months of work experience upto July.

For those candidates who do not have work experience, the weightage will be as follows:

CAT=40

10th board=12

12th board=10

Bachelors=20 Diversity=10 {Gender (Female & transgender)/Non-engineer}

Work Experience=8

In CAT 40 points, 10 points are for QA, DILR takes 16 points and VRC takes 14 points. CAT scores, 10th board, 12th board, Bachelor's, Diversity, Work experience or Professional course details are used to prepare a pre PI rank list based on which a second shortlist of Candidates will be prepared. This list is used for assessment through PI and WAT. And the final score is calculated on the basis of:

PI Score (weight=25)

WAT Score (weight=5)

CAT (weight=25)

10th board (weight=5)

12th board (weight=5)

Bachelors (weight=10)

Diversity {Gender (Female & transgender)/Non-engineer} (weight=20)

Weighted Work Experience (weight=5)

The final offer of admission is strictly made on the basis of ranks in each Category on the final aggregate score. IIM-V follows a comprehensive multi criteria process to be able to identify many Candidates who have an excellent academic record and work experience. If there is anyone who had to be in the first shortlist but missed the high score of CAT, such Candidates effectively replace Candidates who have only high CAT score but poor academic records and work experience. IIM-V prioritizes consistent and high performance in past academics.

Now IIM V offers financial aid to students in need of financial assistance.
