🧠 IIM Bangalore Selection Criteria: Final Merit List Explained
The IIM Bangalore final merit list is not based on CAT score alone. It’s a composite evaluation that includes academics, experience, performance in WAT and PI, and overall profile strength.

Graduation Marks | 5% |

Personal Interview | 🥇 40% |
📌 Key Observations:
PI weightage has increased to 40%, reflecting emphasis on communication, clarity, and personality.

📊 IIM Bangalore Waitlist Movement: Past Data & 2025 Expectations
If you are waitlisted — don’t lose hope! Every year, dozens of students from the waitlist get admission after initial offers are declined.
📈 Historical Waitlist Movement for IIM Bangalore (2024–26 Batch)
Category | Waitlist Movement |
|---|---|
General | 67 |
EWS | 15 |
OBC | 16 |
SC | 40 |
ST | 8 |
PwD | 2 |
📌 Expected Waitlist Trend for 2025:
Waitlist movement will likely occur in multiple rounds from May to July 2025.
General and SC categories tend to see relatively higher movement.
Higher-ranked candidates may opt for IIM A, FMS, or ISB — freeing up seats.
🏛️ Waitlist Movement at Other IIMs (2024-25 Cycle)
IIM Bangalore has one of the highest acceptance rates among top IIMs, so its waitlist movement is slower compared to IIM Calcutta, Lucknow, Indore, and others.
Institute | Approx. Gen WL Movement |
|---|---|
IIM Ahmedabad | 27 |
IIM Bangalore | 67 |
IIM Calcutta | 172 |
IIM Lucknow | 612 |
IIM Indore | 800+ |
IIM Kozhikode | 710 |
IIM Trichy | 700 |
IIM Rohtak | 283 |
IIM Bodh Gaya | 1481 |
IIM Sirmaur | 6104 |
🎯 Lower waitlist movement = high first offer acceptances. Aim for strong WAT-PI performance to avoid relying on the waitlist.
