Minimum 50% marks in Class X, XII and Graduation
-
To be eligible for admission to the PGDM Programme, the participants must possess a bachelor’s equivalent degree, with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks or equivalent in any discipline, from a recognized university in India or abroad (recognized by the UGC / Association of Indian Universities). However, the final selection may be based on a higher cut-off percentage depending on the total number of applicants for the Programme. The bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification obtained by the candidate must entail a minimum of three years of education, after completing higher secondary schooling under the 10+2 system or equivalent.
- Candidates appearing in the final year of their Bachelor’s degree or equivalent are also eligible, provided they furnish proof of meeting the minimum eligibility criteria by September 30, 2022. Candidates who are unable to comply with this requirement are liable to be rejected from the Programme. It is desirable that candidates complete all academic requirements before enrolling for the Programme to help them keep pace with the rigor and assessment parameters of the Programme.
Admission/Selection Process
Candidates who apply online for admission into PGDM will be shortlisted on the basis of
- Entrance Score (CAT/XAT/CMAT or GMAT score)
- Academic Record
Only shortlisted candidates will be called for the final stage of the selection process – the Individual Assessment Process (Essay Writing and Personal Interview etc.). Individual Assessment Process will be held in February/March 2023 (tentative).
Past academic records, performance in the individual assessment process along with other qualitative parameters, like the quality of work experience and extra-curricular activities constitute the core components of the selection process.
The IMI Kolkata Admissions Committee reserves the right to modify these components while communicating these to the applicants at the Individual Assessment stage. The overall objective will be to identify and assess the candidate’s potential for a managerial career.
Applicants should note that mere fulfillment of minimum eligibility criteria may not ensure consideration for shortlisting by IMI New Kolkata. IMI Kolkata will not entertain any correspondence on this subject and decisions of the IMI New Kolkata Admissions Committee will be final in all matters.
Admission Offer
Admission offers will be based on a composite score arrived after the assessment has been made during the various stages of the selection process defined earlier. The result will be announced through an Admission Portal and will be notified on the IMI Kolkata Website. Applicants are advised to check the updates on the website at regular intervals.
While applying online, applicants are advised to provide their complete postal address and active email ID which should be valid up to 30th July 2023 for receiving important communications.
