IIM Ahmedabad - Indian Institute of Management Vastrapur Answered Questions

Dear Sanket,
If you are looking for MBA, you must give either GMAT or GRE. There may be GMAT waivers at certain universities and to be eligible for such waivers you must a have vast work experience. You query is actually university specific, you must check directly with the concerned university. Regarding the score, again this is university specific. They all have different requirements and criteria. Decide where you want to study and check university profiles. You may specify more of your profile here so that I can counsel you better.

Generally, IIMs do not go for 2nd lists for wat/pi calls. They already shortlist a large no. of people for the 1st stage itself. It is very rare that an IIM would release a second list and that too only the newer ones, if at all. Normally people don't leave once they are selected and IIMs keep enough buffer to fill out the sliding seats.
Would advise you to focus on other calls.
Best regards

There are three sections, 1. Verbal and reading comprehension, 2. Data interpretation and logical reasoning, 3. Quantitative aptitude. There is a minimum cutoff that you need to secure to merit an interview call from IIMs. For more information on CAT please visit this site:

I don't think you will get any decent college at 48 percentile. I suggest that you appear for CAT again and try to do better. Here are two links that will give you detailed information about cutoffs and selection criteria. http://www.iimahd.ernet.in/programmes/admission-details/admission-procedure-for-pgp-2016-18-batch.html http://www.iimahd.ernet.in/users/admission/files/Shortlisting Criteria for PGP 2016-18 batch_110116.pdf Let me know if you have further questions

I don't think you will get interview call from any college with this score. 36 percentile means that of the 2 lakh students that appeared for CAT, your rank was around 1.28 lakh. I would suggest that you prepare for CAT once again and appear for it. And this time try to get better score. Also please keep in mind that if you want other institutes(apart from IIMs) to accept CAT score, you will need to apply for those colleges as well.

To get an admission to IIM, you will need to write CAT. Applications usually open in Jul-Aug and exams are held in November. Once the results are out, all the IIMs release the shortlist for interview and GD/WAT. If you do really well in that as well you are offered an admission. And before you ask, yes there are some points for work experience.

Yes, but assuming you have had masters degree (not just bachelor degree). Here is the eligibility criteria (note that it does not depend on your institute of graduation).
