IIM Ahmedabad (IIMA) All Questions

All the IIMs usually follow a two-step selection process. First, short-listing on the basis of CAT score and then WAT and PI rounds for the short-listed students.

1. Common Admission Test (CAT)

2. Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI)

Candidates who fulfil the first stage of the admission criteria (CAT) are called for WAT and PI rounds. Different IIMs as per their admission criteria offer admissions to the selected students. Let’s have a look at the admission criteria of different IIMs for the batch 2019-21.

Most of the IIMs give maximum weightage to Personal Interview and CAT score for admissions

Hello jinay,

Most of the IIMs have some scholarship programs where they waive off some fees for economically weak students. If you meet those criteria you would certainly get the scholarship.  There are also many merit based scholarships from state and central government and some private organizations.If lack of money is stopping you to join an IIM. 

Hello Nilesh

How much percentile is good enough to secure a seat in one of the Indian Institute of Management campuses is one of those questions which often comes in an MBA aspirant’s mind.

While the popular perception is that 90+ percentile is enough, the reality is that it will help you cross only the first hurdle. Admissions in IIMs are not based only on CAT percentile but also on the candidates overall academic performance and on his/her performance in the interview and WAT/GD rounds.

Some IIMs also give additional weights to Work experience and UG Stream. Cut offs vary according to the case category as well.

Let me give you some idea for a general category engineering male who has a 80+ academic background through out. [This will vary + - depending on the other parameters I mentioned above].

IIM A-B-C: 99.6 + overall with sectionals 96 around.

IIM L-I-K: 98.5+ with sectionals 90+

New IIMs: 96.5+ with sectionals 85+

Baby IIMs: 93+ with sectionals 80+

Definately...

U Can Get It..Even You will get the benifit of Field diversity..From.Last 2-3 years IIMA Introdiced Field Diversity In which approx Only 50% Engineers allowed & Otger Seats Is filled by Commerse & Arts Background..& Your 10th & 12 scores are really Good so Definately It will help You..

You have to score 97+ in CAT To get a Call From IIM A..& After that you have to Crack GD PI..

& I would like to tell you that The Weitage of GD PI & WAT is More then CAT score..Soo do prepare for that..

Thank You

Getting into IIM Ahmedabad is a two-step process. The first process of selection will be done according to CAT score and profile and the second process of conversion requires your CAT score, profile, and AWT-PI marks. 

Generally, the declared CAT cutoff is 80 percentile for GENERAL candidates, 75 percentile for NC-OBC, 70 percentile for SC and 60 percentile for ST, with sectional cut-offs as well. 

However, to actually get a call for a GENERAL and ENGINEER candidate you must look for 99.7+ percentile in CAT with sectional cut-offs being taken care off. However, with academic diversity and for reserved category, the percentile required to get a call may fall to 97 percentile as well.

IIM A being one of the best B-school in India, always look for candidates with an excellent profile (90, 90and 85+ in 10th, 12th and undergrad). So, any deviation from thereof needs to be complemented by an increase in percentile.

Hope it helps, thanks.
