Can you tell me about the selection in two-year Post-Graduate Programme in Management (PGP-PGDM) Program offered by IIM (Indian Institute of Management) Calcutta?

Criteria for short listing and final selection of PGP-PGDM candidates for 2017-2019 Batch by IIM (Indian Institute of Management) Calcutta are as follows:

A. Short-listing for Personal Interview (PI)

One will be short listed on the basis of CAT 2016 score, past academic performance, and other criteria provided below.

Stage I: Candidates eligible to be considered for PI

Stage 1 short-listing comprises candidates achieving the minimum section-wise and overall percentile in CAT 2016 as per:

Category Section – I Section – II Section – III Overall
(QA) (DILR) (VA)
OPEN ≥ 80 ≥ 80 ≥ 80 ≥ 90
NC-OBC ≥ 75 ≥ 75 ≥ 75 ≥ 85
SC ≥ 65 ≥ 65 ≥ 65 ≥ 70
ST ≥ 60 ≥ 60 ≥ 60 ≥ 70
DA ≥ 65 ≥ 65 ≥ 65 ≥ 70

One securing the above mentioned minimum percentile in each category in CAT will only be considered for calculation of their composite score in Stage II.

Stage II: Calculation of Composite Scores for Short-listing for PI stage

The Composite Score is calculated on the basis of CAT score, Class X and Class XII aggregate percentages, and gender diversity factor.

Method of allotting points for Class X and Class XII percentages of marks based on aggregate scores:

Class X Marks (in %) Points Class XII Marks (in %) Points
≥80 10 ≥80 10
≥ 75 and < 80 8 ≥ 75 and < 80 8
≥ 70 and < 75 6 ≥ 70 and < 75 6
≥ 65 and < 70 4 ≥ 65 and < 70 4
≥ 60 and < 65 2 ≥ 60 and < 65 2
< 60 0 < 60 0

The composite cut-off score is used for short-listing the candidates for the PI stage in each category.

The number of candidates short-listed for the PI stage would be the discretion of the institute and would depend on the batch size.
