IIM Admission Criteria

You can read below the approach of IIM Udaipur to prepare the admission list for its 10th MBA Batch (2020-22). The batch size is likely to be around 325. IIM Udaipur reserves the right to modify any part of this policy including the IIM selection criteria for the Institute and cutoffs mentioned at any time till the actual IIM admission procedure for the batch is completed.

The IIM admission process for the Institute consists of:

CAT Examination
Shortlisting candidates for Personal Appearance (PA) process.
Conducting the PA process. PA process is composed of Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI). The PA process will be common to IIMs which are participating in the Common Admission Process (CAP).
Preparing the Merit List based on CAT score, WAT & PI score and Profile score as indicated in the following tables.

1. IIM Selection Criteria for Shortlisting to PA (WAT & PI) process

The cut-off percentile marks for IIM eligibility to the PA process in the three sections and the total CAT percentile for different categories of students are given below:

Category	Percentile Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension	Percentile Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning	Percentile Quantitative Ability	Overall Percentile
	(PVARC)	(PDILR)	(PQA)	(PT)
General	80	80	80	90
EWS	80	80	80	85
NC-OBC	60	60	60	78
SC	50	50	50	60
ST	30	30	30	40
DAP	30	30	30	40

IIM Udaipur Admission Committee will decide the MBA program requirements for the Institute and the final number of candidates who would be called for the PA process on the basis of criteria prepared for each category. However, if the actual number of short-listed candidates is found to be less (or more) than the required number of candidates to be called for WAT & PI category-wise, then the overall as well as section-wise minimum score would be reduced (or increased) to get the desired number of candidates.

The IIMs who are participating in the CAP have decided to adopt a common admission process (CAP 2020 process) of WAT & PI to be coordinated this year by IIM Ranchi. The scores obtained by the candidate in WAT & PI of CAP 2020 would be considered for preparing the merit list

68.01 to 72	0.8	0.8	1.6
72.01 to 76	1.0	1.0	2.0
76.01 to 80	1.2	1.2	2.4
80.01 to 84	1.4	1.4	2.8
84.01 to 88	1.6	1.6	3.2
88.01 to 92	1.8	1.8	3.6
