Short-listing of candidates for Personal Interview 

For the shortlisting process for PI (Personal Interviews), different weightage will be assigned to students based on their CAT 2019 performance, and all this to encourage diversity of Gender and Academic Disciplines.

As the composite score is the prime factor for the selection process, that’s why it will be computed giving weightage of 30%, 30%, and 40% to the scores of QA, DI/LR, and VRC sections, respectively.

For female candidates, additional three marks will be added to the composite score at the time of the shortlisting process. But keep in mind, this addition of composite score is only for shortlisting candidates for the interview process.

Admission Merit List

Some prime factors, such as Extempore Speech, Group Discussion, Personal Interview, Class X & Class XII marks, and CAT 2019 scores, will drive the actual selection process. The following weight-system will be applied for drawing the merit list of final selection:

  1. CAT 2019 Score – 60%
  2. Marks obtained in Class X – 5%
  3. Marks obtained in Class XII – 5%
  4. Group Discussion – 10%
  5. Extempore – 5%

An additional 3% of overall aggregate marks will be added to the female candidate’s overall score who appear for the interview process after the shortlisting process.
