The IIM Ranchi selection process for the Common Admission Test (CAT) includes ranking candidates in different categories (General, NC-OBC, SC, ST, and DAP) and shortlisting based on ranking within those categories. The Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) will be held at five centers (Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, and New Delhi), with exact dates to be announced to shortlisted candidates.
The Consolidated Merit List (CML) for final admissions will be based on the CAT percentile (30% weight), WAT and PI scores (minimum cut-off of 15 out of 50 marks, or 30% weight), and the candidate's profile (including academic profile, work experience, gender diversity, and academic diversity, with a total weight of 25%).
