 "New IIMs set admission cut-off at 96.82 percentile")
The Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) at Kashipur, Raipur, Ranchi, Rohtak, Tiruchirappalli (Trichy) and Udaipur have announced their short-list percentile cut-offs for Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI). The cut-off has been fixed at 96.82 percentile overall, meaning those scoring below this percentile in the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2013 will not be eligible for further processes in admission to these IIMs.
The six new IIMs (Kashipur, Raipur, Ranchi, Rohtak, Trichy and Udaipur) have a common process of WAT& PI to be coordinated this year by IIM Trichy. With respect to the section-wise percentile cut-offs, a candidate is required to score 70.77 percentile in the Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation section and 71.09 percentile in the Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning section.
“The list of candidates for WAT & PI for IIM Kashipur, IIM Raipur, IIM Ranchi, IIM Rohtak, IIM Trichy & IIM Udaipur will be available on the website on January 22, 2014 for access,” said a notice on the IIM Trichy website.
The older IIMs including Ahmedabad, Calcutta and Bangalore have already given their CAT cut-offs for the further short-listing process of students. The minimum required percentile ranges from 90 percentile to 95 percentile.
