CAT marks not enough, board scores key at IIM-B

View Source

New Delhi: Cracking the CAT or the Combined Admission Test is just not enough to get into the IIMs. Your Class X and XII marks matter more.

IIM-Bangalore has revealed the details of just what it takes to get into one of the country’s top B- schools.

Contrary to popular perception, CAT scores make up only one-fifth of an aspirant’s final score. Other criteria include the applicant’s X and XII results, which together account for almost 25 per cent of the final score.

The results in the graduate degree exams account for 15 per cent of the final score.
The maximum weightage is given to group discussions and personal interviews, which account for 35 per cent of the total score. The remaining 5 per cent depends on whether the aspirant has taken a Chartered Accountancy course.
