IIMA shortlist on High percentile and excellent academics
IIMA shortlists the candidates primarily on 2 parameters-
1. High sectional and overall percentile in CAT 2014. A general category candidate with percentile of 93 to 100 in each section and approximately 99 overall may hope to have been shortlisted for PI round. But it also has riders.
2. Excellent Academic Profile. A candidate with more than 90% marks in class X and XII and more than 81% in Graduation can hope to have been shortlisted for PI round by IIM Ahmedabad.
AWT & PI phase is crucial
The Academic Writing Test and Personal Interview round at IIM Ahmedabad for PGP batch 2015-17 is more crucial than CAT 2014 written exam. In fact you could call it elimination round. Around 8-10 times of candidates will be called for this round and all will be well prepared. Your struggle to get admission offer after converting the call at IIM A will depend upon your clarity of thought, writing style, selection of words and speaking skills to face the PI round.
You should begin practicing on all the weak points now to strengthen them further. Role of PI and WAT is so strong in converting the call that weightage to them is higher than the weightage to CAT 2014 exam scores. So get ready and dont miss the opportunity. The process is to begin very shortly.
