Understanding IIM Admission Process
Getting into an IIM is not just about your CAT score. Most IIMs look at a few things together to decide who gets admission. They use a system called 'weighted score'. This means different parts of your profile are given a certain percentage or weight.
- CAT Performance: Your CAT score usually accounts for a big part, often between 35% to 60% of the total weight.
- Academic Records: Your marks from Class 10 and Class 12 exams, and your graduation degree scores are also very important. They show your past academic performance.
- Work Experience: Some IIMs also consider your work experience, if you have any.
- Diversity: Things like academic background (engineers vs. non-engineers) and gender diversity might also be considered by some IIMs to ensure a diverse student body.
- GD & PI Performance: Your performance in the Group Discussion and Personal Interview rounds also carries a significant weight in the final selection.
Candidates are strongly advised to keep visiting the official IIM CAT 2025 website, iimcat.ac.in , for the latest announcements regarding results, GD/PI dates, and detailed admission policies of individual IIMs.
