Dear Narendra, there is a factor called Academic Diversity that also decides points in your score while shortlisting you for WAT and PI rounds after Composite CAT scores. Professional courses like CA/ICWA/CS/MBBS/BDS/BPT have a different marking scheme in Graduation. Their percentage scores are rated differently. For example, look at the following:



This is the rating scale for a regular degree course.





Percent score        Rating Score

<= 55                                 1

> 55 and <= 60                2

> 60 and <= 62                3

> 62 and <= 65                5

> 65 and <= 70                8

> 70                                  10





And this is how a Professional degree course is rated:



Percent score        Rating Score

<= 50                               1

> 50 and <= 53              2

> 53 and <= 55              3

> 55 and <= 57              5

> 57 and <= 63              8

> 63                               10



You can get an idea of Academic Diversity percentage in each IIM through this data:



IIM Shillong: 43

IIM Ahmedabad: 34

IIM Udaipur: 33

IIM Amritsar: 32

IIM Lucknow: 30

IIM Indore: 24

IIM Kashipur: 22

IIM Calcutta: 12

IIM Kozikhode: 9



So more preference is given to non-engineering graduates. So if you are stil at a stage where you can decide which Career path to choose, we would certainly suggest non engineering course which can add diversity factor to your Academic profile.
