The Verdict -

IIM Lucknow has put the major focus on the CAT Score and the WAT-PI marks, allotting 30% and 50% marks for these components respectively in the final shortlisting phase, and 60% weight to CAT marks in the WAT-PI shortlist phase. The trend of academic and gender diversity has been followed once again, as IIMs aim for parity in the number of male and female candidates, as well as increasing the number of non-engineering students on campus. If you weren't too serious in 10th and scored low, your past sins will be forgotten, as the IIM Lucknow Selection Criteria 2018 does not take into account your class 10th marks. However, a major deciding factor will be the Graduation marks which are often the downfall for the majority of all CAT aspirants.
