IIMC shortlisting criteria 2015
IIMC has shortlisted the candidates primarily on parameters of high sectional and over all CAT 2014 scores as well as excellent academic profile. The first primary parameter is the High sectional and overall percentile in CAT 2014. A general category candidate with percentile of 95 to 100 in each section and approximately 99+ overall has been shortlisted for WAT & PI round. However high CAT 2014 scores are not the only criteria of shortlisting the candidates at IIMC. Please also note that you may not be shortlisted at IIMC despite scoring a very high overall percentile but weak and uneven sectional percentile
A candidate with excellent Academic Profile with more than 90% marks in class X and XII has been preferred in the shortlisting at IIMC for PI & WAT round by IIMC.
Accordingly a candidate with high CAT 2014 percentile but not so good academic profile might not find his name among the list of shortlisted candidates at IIMC despite scoring 99+ percentile.
Admission policy 2015 declared by IIMC called for minimum threshold percentile of 90 below which candidate would not be shortlisted. But the actual cut off percentile has gone 99+, much higher than anticipated for General Category candidates .
