Parameters for GD-WAT-PI shortlist: (2019-21) Weightage for calculating Composite score: *CAT = 40, 10th board = 20, 12th board = 10, Bachelors = 20, Gender Diversity = 2, Work Experience = 8.

Parameters for Final admission offer: (2019-21) Weightage for Final admission: The WAT score (weight = 10), and the personal interview score (weight = 30), after standardization across interview panels and sessions, will be added to the following scores to arrive at the final aggregate score. CAT (weight = 25), 10th board (weight = 10), 12th board (weight = 5), Bachelors (weight = 10), Weighted Work Experience (weight = 10).

IIMB adopts a two-phase selection process and accordingly these selection criteria are applied in two phases:

The first phase of the process is applied to all eligible candidates who appear for CAT to determine those qualifying candidates who will be called for personal interview (PI). Candidates selected for the PI process will be required to take a Written Ability Test (WAT) on a topic to be provided by IIMB. The topics chosen will typically reflect current socio-political, economic and business affairs, though other topics such as sports and those that require more creative thinking may also be included. The time provided for the WAT will typically be about 30 minutes. During the interview, the panel will evaluate each candidate's academic background, quality of work experience and other personal traits. The WAT submission will be evaluated separately. The scores of the WAT interview and pre-PI scores (with appropriate weightages) will be used cumulatively in the second and final phase to select the candidates for the programme. The selection process, parameters and weights used are uniform for all categories of applicants. Sufficient candidates are shortlisted at each stage in each category to meet the reservation requirement for each group, as applicable at that time.

*The 40 points for CAT are derived from the performance in each of the three sections as follows: Verbal & Reading Comprehension (VARC) - 14 points, Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning (DILR) - 16 points, and Quantitative Aptitude (QA) - 10 points.

Note: The gender diversity component is applicable only for the pre-PI rank list for interview calls, and will not be applicable for phase 2 of the admissions process (final offers of admission)
