IIM Sirmaur: candidates to confirm interest
The already registered candidates for IIM Himachal Pradesh in CAT 2014 have been asked to confirm their interest for admission to PGP at IIM Sirmaur. It has been considered necessary as in CAT-2014, when candidates applied, they had expressed their interest in "IIM in Himachal Pradesh". Now, the location is known to be Sirmaur. Further, during the time that has passed, many applicants may have already confirmed other options for admissions. Given the relatively short time available for IIM Sirmaur admissions, the institute would not like to spend time on people who are no longer interested in IIM Sirmaur.

 

Confirm interest by June 27
IIM Sirmaur is sending mail to all the prospective students who registered for IIM Himachal Pradesh in CAT 2014 and have met the shortlisting criteria to confirm their candidature. During this week of June 2015, the CAT 2014 candidates who had applied to PGP at the proposed "IIM In Himachal Pradesh" at the time of CAT 2014 registration and meet IIM Sirmaur’s admission criteria, have started  receiving communication on their e-mail address provided during CAT 2014 registration.

 

The candidates will be provided a link to the registration page where they must express and reconfirm their desire to pursue their candidature further for the admission to PGP in management at “IIM Sirmaur” by June 27, 2015. The admission offers in each IIM are independent of others and therefore accepting or rejecting an offer from any other IIM will not affect chances in IIM Sirmaur, or vice versa.

Components of PI round
There will not be any physical GD; PI or WAT to be conducted further for admission to IIM Sirmaur. In fact IIM Sirmaur will use the WAT & PI scores provided by IIM Udaipur which has coordinated the process for new IIMs.

 

Final Selection at IIM Sirmaur
Selection at this stage will be based on the ranks of the candidates computed separately for each category (General/SC/ST/NC-OBC/DAP) on the basis of their Final Scores (FS). The numbers selected in different categories will be in proportions mandated by the law.

 

The FS of a candidate, who meet the CAT-2014 cut-offs and who expresses and reconfirms his/her desire to pursue the candidature further by the stipulated date, will be computed using the following rule:

Final Score = 70% weightage to CAT Score + 10% weightage to WAT scores + 20% weightage of PI scores

IIM Sirmaur: Fee structure
The tuition fee for IIM Sirmaur is going to be around Rs. 9 lakhs for 2 years apart from deposits for 2 years. IIM Sirmaur will share the exact amount and details of breakup in the admission offer. Leading banks routinely offer educational loans at concessional terms as per Govt. of India guidelines for all IIMs including IIM Sirmaur.

 

Faculty from IIM L to teach for 3 years
IIM Lucknow will mentor all activities at IIM Sirmaur till it moves to its permanent campus (about 3 years later), and IIM Sirmaur is able to handle these activities entirely on its own. Since recruiting full-time faculty is a fairly long process, during the mentorship period and while IIM Sirmaur's own faculty are recruited, faculty members from IIM Lucknow will be delivering courses at IIM Sirmaur.

 

This may include a few visiting faculty selected by IIM Lucknow to meet their exacting standards. The overall design, quality and delivery of PGP will be to the standards and with direct involvement of IIM Lucknow. Candidates going to join IIM Sirmaur should expect to see some of the best faculty members in the country today.

 

Sharing all about the prospective students’ queries the mentor IIM Lucknow has formed an FAQ section for IIM Sirmaur on its website address http://www.iiml.ac.in/iimsirmaur wherein all the admission related and other queries have been responded for IIM Sirmaur.
