Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad has announced a revised formula for calculating academic rating (AR) score for admission of postgraduate programme in Management (PGPM) to the 2022-24 batch.
The institute has decided to do away with the bachelor’s degree component of the shortlisting criteria. Now, the academic rating (AR) be computed considering marks scored by candidates in Class 10, Class 12 board exams and based on their work experience.
Since, many universities could not conduct exams in the past two years due to COVID-19 and had to promote students based on alternative criteria, the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2021 committee had allowed candidates to appear for the test without requiring a minimum percentage of marks in their degree exams.
IIM Ahmedabad’s Admissions Committee has decided that a revised criteria of computing AR will be considered and will be applied uniformly to all the candidates. The AR now will be computed on a scale of 25 (considering class 10th marks, class 12th marks and candidate’s work experience) and the points will be pro-rated to 35.
