Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Bangalore

The PGP admission process at IIMB starts with the submission of the online application form. 1. A first shortlist is prepared comprising candidates who have secured a pre-determined minimum score on all sections of CAT. Only candidates obtaining a minimum raw score that is positive in all sections of CAT will be considered. All the subsequent processing, standardization and selection are limited to candidates in the the first shortlist alone. 2. For candidates in the first shortlist, a pre-PI (Personal Interview) score is created. The weights for different components at the pre-PI stage are as follows : CAT = 55 , 10th board score = 10, 12th board score = 10, Bachelor’s score = 10, Work experience / Professional course = 10, Gender diversity = 5. The 55 points for CAT are derived from performance in each of the three sections as follows: Verbal and Reading Comprehension (VARC) - 19 points, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR) - 21 points, and Quantitative Aptitude (QA) - 15 points. The gender diversity component is applicable only for computing the pre-PI score and is not used in the next stage. 3. The scores for 10th and 12th board exams are normalized. For candidates without a 10th board and/or 12th board exam score (due to COVID), no weightage shall be given to these component(s), and the weights assigned to other components shall be re-adjusted. 4. The bachelors’ degree scores are normalized. Incomplete or intermediate graduate scores are considered only if the candidate's final score is pending. For candidates without a bachelor’s degree score (due to COVID), no weightage shall be given to this component, and the weights assigned to other components shall be re-adjusted 5. Candidates with Chartered Accountancy (CA), Cost Accounting (ICWA), or Company Secretary (CS) certifications are eligible for weightage under the category of professional course. The scores obtained in these professional courses (Final year completed only) are normalized and weightage is calculated. 6. The pre-PI score for work experience = 10x/36 if 0 < x < 36 = 10 if x >= 36 where x is the months of work experience up to July of the previous year. No consideration is given to any time spent as an intern, either during or after the course of study in a programme, or any periods of apprenticeship such as articleship required as part of certain professional courses, or any unpaid work undertaken in any organization or institution. 7. For candidates who have undergone a professional course of study mentioned above and have work experience as well, the maximum of the work experience score and the professional course score is considered 8. For all components mentioned above, the standardized score, truncated between 0 and weight (wt) is computed from the raw score (val) as: Max [0, min {wt, wt/2 + ((val-mean) / sd) * wt / 6}] 9. For candidates in the first shortlist, the top-ten candidates in each of the following category automatically qualify for the PI stage: total score in CAT, adjusted bachelor’s degree score (commerce, arts, and science disciplines) and professional (CA / ICWA / CS) score. Post PI, all such candidates are evaluated in the same way as any other candidate. 10. Presentation of employment claims that are false will be dealt with severely. A candidate who is found to have provided incorrect information about work experience will not be considered further for admission. Furthermore, the candidate will be barred from applying to any programme at IIMB for the next 3 years. Based on the pre-PI score, a certain number of candidates from each category are selected for the next stage in the admission process.
