IIM Trichy Admissions 2022: In order to conduct admissions for Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGPM) for the academic year 2022-23, Indian Institute of Management-Trichy (IIM-Trichy) has decided to give weightage to Class 10 and 12 marks. This year, the institute is also planning to increase its intake by 140. Around 410 students will be admitted from this academic year.

Talking about the conduct of IIM Trichy PGPM admissions 2022, the institute’s chairperson, admissions, professor Prashant Gupta said, "Earlier, we used to give 10% weightage in admission for UG scores. This year, the admission committee decided to break down the 10% to give 2% weightage to Class X marks, 3% for Class XII marks and 5% for graduation marks. Students with consistent academic performance will get preference in the new weightage system.”

According to the institute’s admission policy for PGPM 2022-24 batch, CAP scores get 50% weightage, 25% weightage for personal interview, 3% weightage for verbal comprehension, 5% weightage for work experience, 10% weightage for academic performance, 2% weightage for professional qualification and 5% weightage for female candidates.

Last year, IIM-Trichy had an intake of 240 seats in its PGPM course and 30 seats in the PGPM-HR programme. Gupta added, "We are planning to increase the intake in PGPM to 360 and to 50 in PGPM-HR. The institute is growing and we have decided to increase our intake.”

The professor also informed that IIM-Trichy on behalf of nine IIMs in Bodh Gaya, Jammu, Kashipur, Raipur, Udaipur, Ranchi, Sambalpur, Sirmaur and Trichy, will conduct the Common Admission Process 2022 (CAP). This year, the number of seats available for the Common Admission Process 2022 are likely to increase by around 200. "We expect approximately 2,600 seats will be available for the admission process," he added.

Amid the ongoing pandemic situation, this year also, the nine IIMs have decided to exclude the written ability test (WAT) like last year and conduct personal interviews online.
