Post-Graduate Programme in Management (2023-2026 Batch) Admission Procedure for Overseas Candidates

NOTE:
Our admission procedure for overseas candidates begins on October 15, 2011. Please do NOT send your applications before that date. Please arrange to send your applications so that they reach us ONLY ON OR AFTER OCTOBER 15, 2011.

Last date for receiving applications from overseas candidates: December 15, 2010

Eligibility
The candidate must hold a Bachelor’s Degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA (in case of the candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC)/ Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Differently Abled (DA) category[1], this is relaxed to 45%), of any of the Universities incorporated by an act of the central or state legislature in India or other educational institutions established by an act of Parliament or declared to be deemed as a University under section 3 of UGC Act, 1956, or possess an equivalent qualification recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India. The Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent qualification obtained by the candidate must entail a minimum of three years of education after completing higher secondary schooling (10+2) or equivalent. The percentage obtained by the candidate in the bachelor’s degree would be based on the practice followed by the university/institution from where the candidate has obtained the degree. In case of the candidates being awarded grades/CGPA instead of marks, the equivalence would be based on the equivalence certified by the university/institution from where they have obtained bachelor’s degree. In case the university/ institution does not have any scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by IIMA by dividing obtained CGPA with the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the result with 100. Candidates appearing for the final year bachelor’s degree / equivalent qualification examination and those who have completed degree requirement and are awaiting results can also apply. Such candidates must produce a certificate from the Principal/Head of the Department/Registrar/Director of the university/ institution certifying that the candidate is currently in the final year / is awaiting final results and has obtained at least 50% marks or equivalent (45% in case of candidates belonging to SC/ST/DA category) based on latest available grades/marks. Such candidates, if selected, will be allowed to join the programme provisionally only if they submit a certificate latest by June 30, 2011 from the Principal/Registrar of their college/institute (issued on or before June 30, 2011) stating that they have completed all the requirements (the results may, however, be awaited) for obtaining the bachelor’s degree/ equivalent qualification on the date of issue of the certificate. Their admission will be confirmed only when the candidate submits the mark sheet and a certificate of having passed the bachelor’s degree / equivalent qualification referred to in the certificate issued by the Principal/Registrar with at least 50% marks (45% in case of candidates belonging to SC/ST/DA category). The deadline for submission of the mark sheet and the certificate is December 31, 2011. Non-fulfillment of this condition will automatically result in the cancellation of the provisional admission. IIMA would not allow any candidate to join their programme in case the candidate is unable to complete all the requirements for a bachelor degree on or before June 30, 2011. The IIMA would also not offer admission to any candidate after June 30, 2011.

Curriculum
The first year’s curriculum is compulsory and covers the basic functional areas of accounting and finance, behavioural science, communication, economics, information technology, marketing, personnel management and industrial relations, operations management, and quantitative methods. At the end of the first year, a student works in an organisation on a summer assignment lasting eight to ten weeks.
The second year courses provide the students with an opportunity to pursue studies in areas of special interest to them. Therefore, all the second year courses are electives. This approach helps students develop an integrated approach to solving management problems.

Selection
The selection of candidates for admission to the 2011-13 batch of the PGP at IIM Ahmedabad is a two-step process.
In the first step, candidates are short-listed for personal interviews from among candidates who have a valid CAT/GMAT score2 who have applied for the programme and who satisfy the eligibility criteria for the programme. A non-overseas candidate who applies with a CAT score is required to perform well in all three sections in CAT to be considered for short-listing. An overseas category candidate who applies with a GMAT score instead of a CAT score should have scored at least 45 in the quantitative and verbal sections and should have a total scaled score of at least 700.
A candidate’s prior academic record is also used in the short-listing process. The exact criteria used to short-list candidates for personal interviews will be disclosed on the CAT website at www.catiim.in and the IIM Ahmedabad website at www.iimahd.ernet.in along with the list of short-listed candidates on January 22, 2011.
In the second step, after the completion of personal interviews of all candidates short-listed in the first step, candidates for admission to the 2011-13 batch of the PGP at IIM Ahmedabad are selected from among the candidates who have attended the personal interviews. In preparing this list, apart from performance in personal interviews, inputs such as the CAT/GMAT score2, academic background and achievements, extra-curricular activities, and post-degree work experience are taken into consideration.
The following information is about the admission process followed by IIMA for its PGP subsequent to CAT. It is therefore, important for the candidates to read them carefully.
1. Performance in CAT is an important input in the admission process and is the primary basis for short-listing candidates for the second round of admission process, which comprises personal interviews. Candidates should note that it is important to perform well relative to other candidates in each section of the test as the scores in each section and the overall score are used to short-list the candidates for the second round. These scores may also be used for final ranking as well. In addition to the performance in CAT, IIMA may use academic performance, relevant work experience and other similar inputs for ranking and short-listing candidates for personal interviews.
2. Please note that IIMA short-lists candidates for Personal Interviews (PI) independent of other IIMs. Hence it is possible to observe variations in the lists of candidates short-listed by different IIMs.
3. Details of candidates short-listed will be made available on CAT website (www.catiim.in) on January 22, 2011. Short-listed candidates would also be sent letters by IIMA.
4. After the PI round, admission offers are made by IIMA to successful candidates. The ranking and final selection is based on a diverse set of attributes and may include performance in CAT, performance in PI, academic, co-curricular and extra-curricular achievements, work experience etc.
5. Disclosure of information about the admission process is driven by concerns which at times conflict with each other. The IIMA would like the admission process to be transparent. At the same time, IIMA would wish to protect the privacy of individual candidates and confidentiality of the process to prevent abuse. Based on these considerations, the performance of an individual is not made available to any other person. Similarly, the performance of candidates in PI including assessment of attributes mentioned under paragraph 4 above is not disclosed to anyone to prevent exercise of undue pressure on the panelists participating in the admission/selection process. IIMA exercises its own discretion in disclosing weights assigned to diverse sets of attributes mentioned under paragraph 4 above. To ensure that the perceived lack of transparency does not in any way affect the candidates negatively, adequate care is taken in formation of panel, development of objective criteria for assessment, random allocation of candidates to a panel and other such measures.
6. Candidates, who appeared in PI will be able to view whether they have been offered admission by IIMA during second week of April 2011 by visiting the IIMA website. Admission offer letter would be sent to all successful candidates. Candidates, who are offered admission, need to confirm their acceptance by completing all the required formalities by first week of May 2011. Some candidates may also be placed on the waiting list initially during second week of April 2011. Offers to candidates on the waiting list would depend upon the number of successful candidates accepting the offer made by IIMA.

NOTE:
In the event of specific guidelines being issued by Government of India, IIMA reserves the right to, depending on the nature of the guidelines, continue with its personal interviews as stated above OR use an alternative selection procedure which may include calling for additional information from short-listed candidates, a supplementary test or any other suitable process/mechanism. Care will be taken to ensure that candidates are not put to undue inconvenience.
