The entire admission process at IIM Ahmedabad for the PGP comprises 3 stages.
Stage 1:Preliminary Screening
The candidates that have cleared the CAT cutoff are shortlisted on the basis of a Composite Score or CS. The composite score is made up of academic rating score (AR) (includes 10th marks, 12th marks, and work experience) and normalized overall CAT score.
Or we can say,
Composite Score = Application Rating Score + Normalized CAT score
Application Rating score is based on class 10th, 12th, and bachelor exams, and work experience scores.
Shortlisting for Analytical Writing Test (AWT) & Personal Interview (PI):
The candidates with the best academic profiles and CAT scores will be further shortlisted for the next round. The shortlisted candidates will be called for AWT and a personal interview round.
Final Selection:
At this stage, candidates will be shortlisted across each category (General/ SC/ ST/ NC-OBC/ PwD) separately, based on their Final Composite Score (FCS).

No, there won’t be any difference in chances. CAT accepts IGNOU degrees. So, you will be eligible to take CAT. If you score above IIM Ahmedabad cut off and have a decent profile, you can get admission.
IIM Ahmedabad 2018-20 batch had a student who graduated from IGNOU. So, doing graduation from IGNOU won’t limit your chances of admission.
Yes, many of my friends have enrolled at IIM L after completing a year at one of the new IIMs. Your only requirement is a strong profile, a high CAT score, and a compelling reason for quitting your current business school.
However, the opportunity cost should be considered while making this decision. This option is only practical if you come from the second generation of a new IIM or a 3 tier B-school. But you should not leave FMS or XLRI for IIM A after studying for a year in these universities. Since the opportunity cost would be too great in this circumstance.
Never consider leaving because the two years you spend there will change your perception. Newly established IIMs may, without a doubt, admit students with a lower percentile. But this is not an indication of inferior quality.
As an undergraduate, you must complete the following tasks:
Better 10th and 12th-grade point averages, at least above 80% in both.
Maintain your academic focus.
Choose a non-engineering subject for your undergraduate studies. It will help your profile.
Attempt to score above the 99th percentile on the CAT. If you want, you can do coaching during your undergrad.
Enhance your communication and writing abilities. This will be beneficial in WAT and GD/PI. If you want, you can join Toastmasters or start a blog.
If you want, try to participate in some extracurricular activities. This will not improve your IIM chances (unless you have a national-level certificate), but it will add some vibrancy to your profile. Activities can range from being a member of a club or placement cell to creating your own YouTube channel.
Perform some internships or work as a freelancer on a project. It will provide fodder for conversation in interviews.
There is a strong possibility you will not be admitted to IIM Ahmedabad. They are looking for people with quintessential academic records. If you come under a general category, your 12th score makes it nearly impossible for you.
However, you can try other equally good colleges, such as IIM Calcutta and FMS, which do not place a high value on 12th-grade results.
It depends on what you mean by average. One of my friends got admission to IIM Ahmedabad last year. He is from an engineering background. He didn’t attend any IIT or NIT. Here is his take on the admission process.
Interview Calls:
For the shortlist of interview calls, CAT scores get around 65-75% weightage and past academics get 30-35% weightage. Engineers need higher scores in graduation compared to other streams. If your 10th/12th score is above 90-95% and your graduation score is above 85%, you can expect a call with 99.65 percentile. If your 10th/12th percentile is less than 90/85%, you will need a percentile above 99.8.
Final Section - Once you reach the AWT/PI section, your past academics will no longer matter. But you will still need to study your graduation subjects to do well in the interview.
My friend’s profile was quite average so it’s evident that an average student can get into IIMA. But you need to have the required CAT percentile and past academic score.
Let’s talk about the advantages and disadvantages of these options before choosing one of them.
RBI Grade B -
IIMA -
Factor in all these points to make the decision that’s best for you.
For the FPM program, IIM Ahmedabad selects students based on their performance in CAT. Students with good scores in a standard test in lieu of CAT can also apply for the program. Different specializations of IIM A FRM has different standard tests that aspirants need to take. For most programs, IIMA accepts GRE, GATE, GMAT, UGC JRF scores.
The admission procedure for IIM Ahmedabad is a multi-step process that includes several components. While a high percentile score in the CAT is essential, there are other criteria that are taken into consideration as well. Here is a breakdown of the admission procedure:
The additional criteria that are taken into consideration during the selection process are:
It is important to note that the percentile requirement may vary from year to year, depending on the competition and the number of applicants. It is advisable to keep a target score of at least 80 percentile or above to have a good chance of being shortlisted for further rounds.
IIM Ahmedabad can be divided into three stages. First students are shortlisted based on their CAT scores. In the second stage, students who have applied for the WAT-PI process are shortlisted based on their past academics and CAT score. After the WAT-PI round, the composite score of each student is calculated for final selection. The parameters considered for final selection are as follows.
You need to have a consistently good academic record and a CAT score of around 99+, should get you a shortlist from IIM Ahmedabad.
