ADMISSION PROCEDURE

IIM/AIMA has no role in the selection process or in the conduct of the PGDM/PGDM-IB Programmes. Students with valid CAT 2006 scores/MAT‘06 scores and those intending to take the CAT '07 and MAT '07/'08 exams may also apply.

Apply to IFIM Business School by filling in the Application form. Mode of procurement is laid down below.

Candidates shall be shortlisted for GD/PI on the basis of their performance in CAT/MAT, scholastic record and work experience.

Short-listed candidates will be called to participate in the Group Discussions and Personal Interviews at 14 (fourteen) test centres: Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Coimbatore, Cochin, Trivandrum, Nagpur, Kolkata, Ranchi, Bhubaneswar, New Delhi, Mumbai, Pune and Ahmedabad. For details, please refer to the insert captioned ‘Admission Calendar’.

Final selection will be based on ‘composite parameters’ to include: the MAT/CAT score, consistent academic record in Class X and XII and at the undergraduate level, essay in the Application Form (on Page 2), extra/co-curricular activities, work experience (if any) and performance in the Group Discussions and Personal Interviews.

Those with academic distinctions and/or extra-curricular activities and/or substantial work experience will be given additional weightage.

Since the CAT/MAT score is only an input in the selection process, it is possible for a candidate with a lower CAT/MAT score to be selected for GD/PI and to be offered admission, in preference to a candidate with a higher CAT/MAT score on account of better performance in other criteria.

IFIM Business School reserves the absolute right to assign and/or re-assign students from the PGDM Programme to the PGDM-IB Programme or vice versa depending upon the availability of a vacancy and/or suitability for the programme and/or at the specific request of a student and/or broader institutional considerations and/or any other overriding and/or unanticipated considerations. The decision of IFIM Business School shall be final and binding upon the candidate. The fact of assignment and/or re-assignment shall be communicated to the candidate. The candidate however, reserves the right of acceptance/rejection as the case may be.
