IIM Indore - The Indian Institute of Management Indore center is one of the best Business Schools in India. To get into IIM indore you have to have a good CAT score. Along with a good CAT score, you also have to clear the interviews, GDs and other requirements for admission in a particular stream.

Here are the details of the Criteria Followed by IIM Indore for Short listing of candidates for Group Discussion and Personal Interview for PGP Batch 2009-11.

As mentioned in page 57 of CAT-2008 Bulletin, “Candidates are short-listed for Group Discussion and Personal Interview on the basis of their performance in CAT/GMAT, academic record, and relevant work experience.”

In tune with the stated admissions policy of the institute, IIM Indore adopted the following process for short listing of candidates belonging to various categories for GD/PI.

Initial Screening:
An initial screening criterion was used to generate the consideration set of candidates. This criterion was used to determine the initial pool of eligible candidates. This was done to ensure that the consideration set consis ts of candidates who have demonstrated an equal minimum level of competence in all the three sections of the test. The minimum sectional percentile cut-offs in CAT-2008 used to arrive at the consideration set are given in the table below:

Category           Section I                             Section II                     Section III
                           Quantitative                     Logic and Data                  Verbal
                                                                       Interpretation

Open                      80.00                                     80.00                             80.00
OBC                       75.00                                      75.00                            75.00
SC, ST and PWD 65.00                                      65.00                            65.00

Following are the numbers of candidates in various categories who satisfied the above criteria and thus made it to the Consideration Set:

Open 9697
OBC 704
SC 413
ST 77
PWD 34

Final Shortlist
Candidates satisfying the above-mentioned criteria were ranked in decreasing order of a weighted overall score that was based on a combination of their performance in CAT-2008 and their prior work experience. Performance in CAT was given a weightage of 95% and work  experience was given a weightage of 5% to calculate the overall score. Required numbers of candidates were called for GD/PI from top of this list, prepared separately for each category.

Going by the past experience, the number of candidates called for GD/PI was kept at seven times the number of seats available in open category and six times for all other categories. However, since the number of candidates qualifying the initial screening criterion in ST and PWD categories was less than the required number of candidates, all the candidates in these categories who made it to the consideration set were called for GD/PI.

Following is the category-wise break up of the candidates called for GD/PI:
Category : Number of Seats : Called for GD/PI
General : 143  :1001
OBC :36  :216
SC :36 :216
ST :18 :77
PWD :7 :34
Total :240 :1544

The candidates in the final shortlist had an overall percentile score of at least the figures given in the brackets against each category of candidates – Open (98.91), OBC (94.68), SC (83.37), ST (72.45) and PWD (75.81).
