IIM Ahmedabad releases revised criteria for MBA admissions 2022

Amid the ongoing pandemic situation, many universities could not conduct final year exams and promoted their students based on alternative assessment criteria. Considering the same, IIM-A revised its MBA admissions criteria. 

IIM Ahmedabad Admission: Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad has released a revised formula for calculating academic rating (AR) score for admission to the 2022-24 batch of the postgraduate programme in Management (PGPM). Candidates interested in IIM Admissions 2022 must note that this year, the management institute has decided to do away with the bachelor’s degree component of the shortlisting criteria. The institute will calculate the academic rating considering marks scored by candidates in Class 10, Class 12 board exams and based on their work experience.

Amid the ongoing pandemic situation, many universities could not conduct final year exams and promoted their students based on alternative assessment criteria. Considering the same, the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2021 committee allowed candidates to appear for the test without requiring a minimum percentage of marks in their degree exams.

IIM Ahmedabad Revised Criteria for MBA admissions 2022

IIM Ahmedabad in its notice said, “On account of this, the Admissions Committee of IIM Ahmedabad decided to do away with the bachelor’s degree component from the shortlisting criteria and to apply it uniformly to all the candidates. The AR now will be computed on a scale of 25 (considering class 10th marks, class 12th marks and candidate's work experience) and the points will be pro-rated to 35,” IIM Ahmedabad said.

IIM Ahmedabad will now use this formula for computing the Composite Score (CS):

CS = 0.35 x (pro-rated AR Score/35) + 0.65 x (normalized overall CAT Score)

Where, pro-rated AR Score= [(AR score computed by taking 0 points for Bachelor’s degree)/25] x 35

CAT cut-offs 2022 have also been released by the Institute along with other details for 2022-24 admissions on its official website, iima.ac.in.
