IIM Visakhapatnam → This document details the process that will be adopted for shortlisting candidates for the admission process for the Post Graduate Program in Management (PGP) at the Indian Institute of Management Visakhapatnam (IIMV) for the batch of 2016.
The admission process seeks to identify the most promising candidates for the PGP batch of 2016 for IIMV. IIMV uses multiple parameters, namely academic performance in 10th standard examination, 12th standard examination and Bachelor’s degree examination, candidates’ scores in CAT, as well as performance in Personal Interview and Written Ability Test to judge the suitability of candidates for the PGP program.
Phase → I
• The first phase process is applied to all eligible candidates who appeared for CAT 2015 and have applied for IIM Visakhapatnam to determine those qualifying candidates who will be called to reconfirm their interest for admission to PGP 2016-18 of IIM Visakhapatnam.
• The first short list of candidates is based on candidates securing minimum section-wise and aggregate percentile scores in the CAT. Candidates obtaining a positive (greater than zero) raw score in all sections of CAT-2015 will only be considered. The percentile cut-off scores used for CAT 2015 are shown in Table below. All the subsequent processing, standardization and selection is limited to candidates belonging to this first short list alone. This means that the CAT score alone (for candidates who have applied for IIM Visakhapatnam) is used as the basis for arriving at the first short list.
First Shortlist
Phase → 2
• Only those candidates who meet the minimum percentiles requirements shown in Table 1, and have reconfirmed their interest, by the stipulated date, for admission to PGP 2016-18 of IIM Visakhapatnam (herein after referred as Qualified Confirmed Candidates) will be considered in Phase 2 of the admission process.
• For all Qualified Confirmed Candidates, the candidates’ percentage scores in the 10th and 12th board exams are initially adjusted by dividing each such score by the 90th percentile score obtained in that board. The database of 10th and 12th scores of all CAT applicants of the past two years is used for identifying the 90th percentile score for each 10th and 12th board for this purpose.
• For all Qualified Confirmed Candidates, final scores obtained by the candidate are used for the bachelors’ degree and professional degrees (if any). Incomplete or intermediate scores are considered only if the candidate’s final score was pending. Thus, for final year bachelor’s degree candidates (at the time of CAT registration), their incomplete graduation score would be taken in lieu of final graduation score. Graduation scores are adjusted within their respective categories. This gives the adjusted score for the bachelor’s degree for all Qualified Confirmed Candidates.
• For all Qualified Confirmed Candidates, candidates with Chartered Accountancy, Cost Accounting, and Company Secretary certifications are eligible for weight under professional course. No other professional course is eligible for weight under professional course. The professional course score is also standardized for all Qualified Confirmed Candidates.
• For all Qualified Confirmed Candidates, the score/weight for work experience is calculated as:
Score for Work Experience
= 10x/36 (if 0 < x < 36)
= 10 (if x >= 36)
• Where x is the months of work experience up to September 2015, as captured in CAT application form (and substantiated in the application to IIMV). This implies that the score will peak at 36 months work experience and will remain at that level for candidates with work experience exceeding 36 months.
• For all Qualified Confirmed Candidates, the maximum of the work experience score and the professional course score is considered for selection under a common weight of 10 for work experience or professional course – since both provide professional work experience relevant to a management program me.
• For all Qualified Confirmed Candidates, other than work experience or professional course, the weights for the remaining five components are fixed as:
• For all Qualified Confirmed Candidates, the weighted aggregate of the six components namely (a) work experience or professional course, (b) CAT, (c) 10th board, (d) 12th board, (e) bachelors, (f) gender diversity as stated above, is used to prepare a pre-PI rank list based on which a second short list of candidates is prepared, for an assessment through personal interview and written ability test. Sufficient candidates will be shortlisted to enable selection based on the additional evaluation components: personal interview & written ability test.
• For all Qualified Confirmed Candidates, normalization or standardization in any component stated above is carried out as per the following formula. All standardization is done with reference to the qualifying first shortlist. Standardized score (truncated between 0 and weight (wt)) is computed from the raw score (val)as:
• Max [0, min {wt, wt/2 + ((val-mean)/ sd) * wt/6}]
Phase 3
• Details on the process of assessing the candidates (in the second shortlist) performance in personal interview and written ability test will be announced by 15th April 2016.
