Both the hundred percentilers from Bangalore, Ameya Mhatre and Lakshmisha S.K., confessed that they could not figure out why they did not get calls from all the Indian Institutes of Management for admission to the Post-Graduate Programme in Management. Several others, with 99 and 98 percentiles did not make it to the second round of some institutes.
As many as 3,557 candidates received a call from IIM-Ahmedabad this year. Not less than 25 per cent in each section and 33 per cent in aggregate. The cut-off for those with reservation is lowered to 17 and 25 respectively. The website gives a comprehensive tabulation of what it calls the composite score — based on CAT score, pre-bachelor’s academic performance, all of which varies for each category. However, the institute makes no mention of any weightage to those with work experience. The lowest CAT score which got a call was reportedly around 98 percentile, as was the case with IIM-Kozhikode.
The IIM-Bangalore website has listed a mathematical formulae based on which the scores for the first stage are prepared. The break-up for weightages for the second round has also been declared. This institute looks for academic record, work experience and certifications. The cut-off at IIM-Lucknow was 90 percentile, while Shillong pegged it at 72.
