No, meeting the CAT cutoff percentile is not the only criteria for admission. IIM Lucknow admission is a two-stage process. In the first stage, candidates are shortlisted for the WAT and PI round on the basis of their performance in the CAT, scholastic achievement, and relevant work experience. In the second stage, aspirants will be evaluated on parameters such as the Scaled CAT 2024 score, Class 12 marks, Graduation marks, Work Experience, Diversity Factor and Gender Diversity as per their weightage fixed by the institute. Candidates can refer to the table below to view all the parameters and their weightage for IIM Lucknow PGP course
