The six new IIMs (Indian Institute of Management) at Kashipur, Ranchi, Raipur, Rohtak, Trichy, and Udaipur, are conducting the Common Personal Interview and Written Analysis Test ("PI & WAT") Process for their Post-Graduate Programmes in Management for the 2015-17 Batch.
Each of the six new IIMs has individually prepared shortlists based on their respective criteria. The combined shortlist of aspirants to be considered for further processing was thereafter prepared by the coordinating IIM, namely IIM Udaipur. From the combined shortlist, aspirants who are also called for interviews by IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, IIM Lucknow, and IIM Kozhikode (older IIMs) will be set aside.
The remaining candidates will be called for a Personal Interview & Written Analysis Test (PI & WAT) which will be common for the six new IIMs. The PI & WAT scores for candidates set aside from the combined shortlist will be obtained from the respective older IIMs from which such candidates have received interview calls. Those who have been called for WAT and PI by more than one older IIM will have the PI & WAT scores received from all applicable older IIMs averaged for further processing.
The status of the shortlist is available on the Common Admission website. Click Here!
Each of the six new IIMs will take the PI & WAT scores of the candidates shortlisted by them from IIM Udaipur. They will then consider these scores along with scores for other criteria such as CAT score, Profile score, etc. to make their respective merit lists. Thereafter, they will make their respective admission offers to the candidates.
Given below are the cut-offs used by IIM Udaipur to shortlist the candidates for WAT & PI:
