(B) Criteria for final MBA admissions selection post PI & WAT
Post the PI & WAT rounds IIM Trichy will compute a composite score of all shortlisted candidates to prepare the final merit list. The parameters used for the selection and the weightage assigned to them is as follows:
- Written Analysis Test (WAT) (15 per cent weightage):Â You will be judged on vocabulary, writing content and writing skills.
- Personal interview (PI) (17 per cent weightage):Â You will be judged on the following:
- Academic efforts and disposition
- Communication, attitude and personality
- Managerial and leadership attributes
- Social awareness and disposition
- Overall presence
- Work experience, if any (5 per cent weightage):Â The panel will determine the relevance of your work experience to the programme and its quality and achievements.
- Academic performance at undergraduate (UG) level (10 per cent weightage):Â This will be calculated using the formula
UG performance score = (Percentage score at UG level) x (discipline weightage) x 0.10
Different disciplines will be given different weightages to take in account the degree of difficulty in scoring disciplines from different domains (This is because ease of scoring differs – engineering disciplines are easier to score at than arts). The weightages applied are as follows:
- Engineering / Technology: 0.6
- Science: 0.8
- Commerce / Economics / Management: 1.0
- Arts / Medicine (including Pharmacy): 0.9
- Master’s degree or professional qualification (2 per cent weightage):Â You require a pass in your Master’s degree or final examinations of CA/CS/ICWA.
- Gender diversity (1 per cent weightage):Â This score is added for female candidates.
- CAT score (50 per cent weightage):Â Your CAT 2016 score carries half the weightage of all parameters.
