IIM Ahmedabad - Indian Institute of Management Admission Process

The selection process for the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIM Ahmedabad) begins with the CAT (Common Admission Test) exam. Candidates are shortlisted based on their CAT scores and other relevant criteria. Shortlisted candidates then undergo a rigorous evaluation process, which includes Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds. During these rounds, their communication skills, subject knowledge, and suitability for the programme are assessed.Factors such as academic performance and work experience are also taken into account. IIM Ahmedabad values diversity in terms of academic backgrounds and work experience.The final selection is based on a combination of CAT scores, WAT-PI performance, academic records, and work experience. The institute aims to create a diverse and talented cohort of students. The specific selection criteria and weightage may vary from year to year, so candidates should refer to the official website or contact the institute for the latest information.

Candidates seeking admisison to MBA (or PGP) are not required to have any work experience. However, if there are students with part-time experience, its experience, understanding and knowledge can only help them crack the interview round. For MBA-PGPX, it is compulsory for students to have at least four years of full-time work experience, any part-time experience beyond this duration won't be a concern. For the ePGD-ABA courses, however, the official website mentions the requirement of two years' of work experience (preferably in the domain of Business Analytics) which can be waived for candidates with exceptional academic qualifications. Since there is no mention whether the required experience is full-time or part-time for ePGD-ABA, students can confirm the same from the admission office.
