Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Amritsar

1.The first shortlist comprises of candidates who have secured a pre-determined minimum percentile score on each section and overall score of CAT as given furthur: Overall: Gen/EWS = 90, NC-OBC = 80, SC = 55, ST/PwD = 40 Sectional: Gen/EWS = QA: 80, DILR: 75, VRC: 75 NC-OBC = QA: 65, DILR: 60, VRC: 60 SC = QA: 55, DILR: 50, VRC: 50 ST/PwD = QA: 35, DILR: 35, VRC: 35. The pre-PI score is calculated for each candidate based on the above weights, and the above process results in a list of candidates ranked in order of merit based on their pre-PI score. 2. From the ranking list prepared by the process outlined above, a reasonable number of candidates will be called for PI based on the order of their rank. The post-PI score for each candidate is calculated based on the aggregate scores obtained after applying the following weights. (a) Personal Interview (PI) = 70%, (b) Work experience = 10%, (c) Gender diversity = 10%, and (d) Academic diversity = 10%. Pre-PI scores and post-PI scores (with appropriate weightages) will be used cumulatively in the final phase. Aggregate Score = 0.6 X Pre-PI Score + 0.4 X Post-PI Score. 3. The final offers of admission to candidates selected from each category will be made strictly on the basis of the final rank based on the aggregate score.

1. The admission process for the MBA-HR programme at IIM Amritsar begins with the shortlisting of candidates based on their CAT 2025 performance. The minimum CAT percentile cut-offs required for the first shortlist vary by category: Overall: General = 90, EWS = 90, NC-OBC = 80, SC = 55, ST/PwD=40. Sectional: QA: General = 80, EWS = 80, NC-OBC = 65, SC = 55, ST/PwD=35. LR: General = 75, EWS = 75, NC-OBC = 60, SC = 50, ST/PwD=35. VARC: General = 75, EWS = 75, NC-OBC = 60, SC = 50, ST/PwD=35. Candidates meeting these minimum cut-offs are considered for the next stage, where a composite score is calculated based on various parameters: CAT score = 60%, Class X = 10%, Class XII = 5%, Work Experience = 10%, Gender Diversity = 10%, and Academic Discipline = 5%. Based on this composite score, a shortlist of candidates is prepared for the Personal Interview (PI) round. 2. The final selection is made by combining the pre-PI score and the post-PI performance, with weights as follows: Pre-PI score = 60%, PI score = 40%. Offers of admission are extended strictly according to the final aggregate score, ensuring a transparent and merit-based selection process.
