Post-Graduate Programme in Management (2013-2015 Batch)

Admission Procedure for Overseas Candidates

Indians resident outside India, and foreign nationals, fall under the “Overseas Candidates” category. To qualify as an Indian resident abroad, a candidate should be an Indian who expects to live, work or study outside India for at least 12 months continuously as of December 15, 2012. Overseas candidates who expect to be resident in India during the period July 1, 2012 to December 15, 2012, will, however, have to take the Institute’s Common Admission Test (CAT). The second stage of the admission process, i.e. personal interviews, will be held in India. Candidates called for this stage will have to make their own travel arrangements and produce evidence of having qualified for the “Overseas Candidates” category.

For computing the percentage, the marks obtained in all the subjects as mentioned in the mark-sheet in all the years will be taken into account.In case of the candidates being awarded grades/CGPA instead of marks, the equivalence would be based on the equivalence certified by the university/institution from where they have obtained bachelor’s degree. In case the university/ institution does not have any scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by IIMA by dividing obtained CGPA with the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the resultant with 100.
Candidates appearing for the final year bachelor’s degree / equivalent qualification examination and those who have completed degree requirement and are awaiting results can also apply. Such candidates must produce a certificate from the Principal/Head of the Department/Registrar/Director of the university/ institution certifying that the candidate is currently in the final year / is awaiting final results and has obtained at least 50% marks or equivalent (45% in case of candidates belonging to SC/ST/DA category) based on latest available grades/marks.

Their admission will be confirmed only when the candidate submits the mark sheet and a certificate of having passed the bachelor’s degree / equivalent qualification referred to in the certificate issued by the Principal/Registrar with at least 50% marks (45% in case of candidates belonging to SC/ST/DA category).
