    Candidates (General category) seeking admission to IIM-A for MBA must have a bachelor's degree with a minimum of 50% aggregate. For final selection, a student is required to have a valid score in the CAT exam (both sectional and overall) and is required to go through the AWT and PI rounds conducted by the institute. Additionally, for the final selection of candidates, everything right from their scores in Class 10, Class 12 and graduation are considered along with their CAT percentile, PI and WAT scores, stream in Class 12 and work experience. 

  • Getting into IIM Ahmedabad's MBA (PGP) is a multi-step process:

    1. CAT scores: Candidates need to score exceptionally high (90+ percentile) on the Common Admission Test (CAT). This is the key hurdle.
    2. Meet Eligibility Criteria: Candidates need to have a Bachelor's degree with good marks and, for most candidates, 3+ years work experience.
    3. Shortlist & Interviews: Based on CAT scores and profile, IIM Ahmedabad shortlists candidates that go for a Writing Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI).
    4. Selection: Final selection considers your entire profile - CAT, WAT, PI, academics, and work experience (if applicable).
