This document summarizes the approach of IIM Raipur in preparing theadmission List for its 4th PGP Batch (2013-15). The batch size is likely to be around 120. IIM Raipur reserves the right to modify any part of this document including the various criteria and cut offs mentioned at any time till the actual admission process for the batch is completed.

The basic objective of IIM Raipur’s admission process is to identify meritorious candidates for admission under each category of admission, viz., General, OBC, SC, ST and PWD/DAP.

The admission process of IIM Raipur consists of:

a. CAT Examination
b. Short listing Candidates for Personal Appearance (PA) process
c. Conducting the PA process. PA process is composed of Written Analysis (WA) and Personal Interview (PI), and
d. Preparing the admission list based on CAT score, PI & WA score and Profile score as indicated in following tables.

1. Criteria for Short listing for PA (WAT) process

The CAT percentile will be used for shortlisting candidates for WAT and PI. The tentative category-wise minimum percentile is as follows:

Minimum CAT2012Percentile for the PGP Batch of 2013-2015

Category	Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation (Section 1)	Verbal Ability and Logical Reasoning (Section 2)	Total (Overall)
General	70	70	90
NC-OBC	63	63	81
SC	60	60	75
ST	50	50	65
DAP	55	55	70

The IIM Raipur Admission Committee will decide the number of candidates to be called for PA process on the basis of short listed merit list prepared for each category. However, if the actual number of shortlisted candidates were found to be less (more) than the required number of candidates to be called for PI/WAT category-wise, then the overall as well as section wise minimum score would be reduced (increased) to get the desired number of candidates.

The six new IIMs (Kashipur, Raipur, Ranchi, Rohtak, Trichy and Udaipur) have decided to adopt a common process of WAT& PI to be coordinated this year by IIM Raipur. In case any of the older IIMs (Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Indore, Kozhikode and Lucknow) are willing to share their WAT& PI scores with the six new IIMs, the common candidates who have applied to new IIMs, need not to appear for WAT& PI process separately, else they have to appear. The common candidates will be intimated the names of older IIMs sharing WA & PI scores with new IIMs in due course of time.
