While the MBA aspirants across the country are keeping the electricity meters moving in the night, the IIMs are preparing the groundwork for a smooth admissions process for the 2012-14 batch. With the CAT 2011 registrations already begun the IIMs are now publishing the admissions criteria for 2012-14 batch.
The IIMs which have recently announced the admissions criteria for next year’s admissions are: IIM Calcutta, IIM Bangalore, IIM Lucknow, IIM Rohtak, IIM Raipur, IIM Indore and IIM Kozhikode.
The admissions criteria of these IIMs mention the weightage that will be assigned to the CAT 2011 scores for GD-PI shortlisting as well as final selection. The criteria also mentions the weightage that will assigned to work experience, Class X and XII marks, WAT, GD, PI.
The admissions criteria document also clearly states the admissions process in detail. You need to check these out as some IIMs will not be conducting GD for admissions 2012.
The release of admissions criteria for next year’s admissions in advance is a welcome step, as there have been complaints from many students who had got good percentile in CAT exam but who had not been called for the GD PI by the IIMs. In many cases students who had even got 99 percentile were denied GD PI call citing the admission criteria.
Till now the IIMs were announcing their admissions criteria post the CAT exams, which was leading to many heart breaks for students who had scored well. This development will certainly give good direction to the preparation by MBA aspirants.
