For MBA admission, candidates who have applied are further shortlisted based on the composite score (calculated using CAT score, past academic performance, experience, gender and diversity) for a Virtual Interview. The weightage aligned to each and every component of MBA admission selection is as follows:

Selection Parameter	Weightage
CAT score	75%
Gender	3%
Diversity	3%
UG/ Class 10/ Class 12 scores	14%
Work experience	5%
Total	100%

The final selection is based on the following:

Virtual Interview
Composite score of selection parameters
Other achievements (if any)

For other courses, however, students are either selected on the basis of their academic background, personal interview, SOP of institute conducted entrance exam.
