The selection criteria for IIM-Ahmedabad are unique and complicated for laymen to understand. IIM-A looks for a well-rounded profile giving weightage to your profile (academics, work experience, and diversity) and the CAT score for the initial shortlisting. This second post on RTI Data 2024 covered insights about the PGP 2024-2026 batch of IIM-A and FABM (Agri-Business Management) 2024-26. It highlights the total number of students who applied, got called for an interview, accepted the offer, and other batch details- minimum and maximum CAT percentile, pre-PI and post-PI composite score, work experience, and education background across the reservation categories.
