IIM Nagpur, IIM Jammu, IIM Sirmaur Direct Admission through CAT Scores

IIM Nagpur, IIM Jammu, IIM Sirmaur Direct Admission through CAT Scores

IIM Nagpur, IIM Jammu, and IIM Sirmaur have made it easier for candidates to secure admission through CAT scores without the traditional GD-PI process. If you have opted for these IIMs while filling out your CAT registration and have been shortlisted, you will receive an email asking you to reconfirm your interest. Once you express your interest, you will be considered for final admission based on your CAT scores, academic profile, and work experience.

These three IIMs, among the newer institutions, have decided to directly offer admission without a GD-PI round, simplifying the selection process for prospective students.

3 Out of 7 New IIMs Did Not Participate in CAP

Among the newer IIMs, IIM Amritsar, IIM BodhGaya, and IIM Sambalpur participated in the Common Admission Process (CAP) for selecting candidates, which involved WAT and PI rounds. However, IIM Sirmaur, IIM Nagpur, and IIM Jammu opted out of the CAP process and instead chose to offer direct admission based solely on CAT scores, academic profiles, and work experience.

IIM Nagpur: Admission Criteria Without Interview

IIM Nagpur has clarified that its admission process does not involve a Personal Interview (PI) round. The selection criteria are based on CAT scores, past academic performance, and work experience. Once candidates are shortlisted based on their CAT scores, they will receive an email inviting them to reconfirm their interest in joining the PGP program at IIM Nagpur.

The final merit list will be compiled based on the following criteria:

• 50% weightage for CAT scores
• 30% weightage for past academic performance (PAP)
• 20% weightage for work experience (WE)

IIM Nagpur has shared the following sectional and overall CAT score requirements for shortlisting candidates:

• General: 90% overall and 80% in each section
• NC-OBC: 81% overall and 72% in each section
• SC: 75% overall and 60% in each section
• ST: 65% overall and 50% in each section
• DAP: 65% overall and 50% in each section

The final merit list will be generated after considering the CAT score, past academic performance, and work experience.

IIM Jammu: Direct Admission Process

IIM Jammu has also adopted a direct admission process, eliminating the need for interviews. Candidates who have opted for IIM Jammu during the CAT registration process and meet the required CAT score criteria will be considered for final selection based on a merit list.

The selection criteria for IIM Jammu are as follows:

• 50% weightage for CAT scores
• 10% weightage for Class 12 marks
• 10% weightage for graduation marks
• 20% weightage for work experience
• 5% weightage for academic diversity (non-engineers)
• 5% weightage for gender diversity (female candidates)

Candidates will be shortlisted based on their composite scores, which will include the above factors, and those meeting the required percentile thresholds will be offered admission in the order of their merit.

IIM Sirmaur: No GD-PI Round in the Admission Process

IIM Sirmaur, like IIM Nagpur and IIM Jammu, does not require a GD-PI round for admission. Instead, candidates will be evaluated based on their CAT scores and profiles, including their past academic performance and work experience.

IIM Sirmaur’s selection criteria include:

• 50% weightage for CAT scores
• 10% weightage for Class 12 marks
• 10% weightage for graduation marks
• 20% weightage for work experience

• 5% weightage for gender diversity (female candidates)

Candidates who meet the required percentile for their category will be considered for admission based on their composite score, and offers will be made accordingly.
