IIM Selection Process and Admission Criteria
The IIM selection process is based on three main criteria: CAT score, WAT/GD-PI performance, and candidate’s academic record. After the release of the IIM cut-off, the IIM admission process is conducted in the following three phases:
- Phase 1: Shortlisting of candidates based on CAT percentile.
- Phase 2: Candidate’s participation in WAT and PI.
- Phase 3: Final selection based on performance in the CAT, WAT-PI, academics, etc.
IIM Admission Parameters and Weightage
IIMs consider various parameters during the admission process. The table below presents the parameters and their weightage for IIM admissions:
| Parameters | Weightage (in%) |
| CAT score, WAT/PI | 75 |
| Academic Profile | 10 |
| Work Experience | 10 |
| Gender Diversity | 5 |
| Total | 100 |
Factors Affecting IIM Cut-Off
The IIM cut-off varies slightly each year due to several factors. The most prominent factors affecting IIM cut-off are as follows:
- Difficulty Level of the CAT: If the exam is more difficult, the IIM cut-off percentile is lower because the average scores tend to be lower. In contrast, a relatively easier CAT exam results in a higher IIM cut-off.
- No. of CAT Test Takers: The IIM cut-off percentile also depends on the number of candidates attempting the exam. A higher number of test takers usually leads to a higher cut-off percentile, and vice versa.
