• The following information is about the admission process followed by IIMA for its PGP subsequent to CAT. It is, therefore, important for the candidates to read them carefully.
• Performance in CAT is an important input in the admission process. Candidates should note that it is important to perform well in each section of the test. In addition to the performance in CAT, IIMA uses the academic performance of the candidates throughout their academic career up to the bachelor’s level for shortlisting for AWT & PI.
• Please note that IIMA shortlists candidates for AWT & PI independent of the other IIMs. Hence it is possible to observe variations in the lists of the candidates shortlisted by different IIMs.
  Details of the candidates shortlisted will be made available on the IIMA website (www.iima.ac.in) tentatively by the second week of January 2023 after the CAT results are published. Shortlisted candidates would also be sent AWT & PI call letters by IIMA. No communication would be sent to applicants who are not shortlisted for AWT & PI.
• After the AWT & PI round, admission offers are made by IIMA to successful candidates. The final selection is based on a diverse set of attributes which includes performance in CAT, performance in AWT & PI, academic, co-curricular, and extra-curricular achievements, work experience, etc. All selected candidates for the IIMA 2-year PGP must be 19 years of age as of 30 June 2023.
• Disclosure of information about the admission process is driven by concerns which at times conflict with each other. IIMA would like the admission process to be transparent. At the same time, IIMA would wish to protect the privacy of the individual candidates and the confidentiality of the process to prevent abuse. Based on these considerations, the details of the performance of an individual are not made available to any other person.
• Similarly, the details of the performance of a candidate in AWT & PI, including assessment of attributes mentioned under paragraph 4 above, is not disclosed to anyone to prevent the exercise of undue pressure on the panelists participating in the admission/selection process.
• IIMA exercises its own discretion in disclosing weights assigned to diverse sets of attributes mentioned under paragraph 4 above. To ensure that the perceived lack of transparency does not in any way affect the candidates negatively, adequate care is taken for information of the interview panels, development of objective criteria for assessment, random allocation of candidates to interview panels, and other such measures.
• Candidates, who appear in AWT & PI will be able to view whether they have been offered admission by IIMA tentatively during the second week of April 2023 by visiting the IIMA website. An admission offer letter would be sent to all successful candidates. Candidates, who are offered admission, need to confirm their acceptance by completing all the required formalities by the first/second week of May 2023. Some candidates may also be placed on the waiting list initially during the second week of April 2023. Offers to candidates on the waiting list would depend upon the number of successful candidates accepting the offer made by IIMA.
