IIM Ahmedabad Selection Criteria For PGP 2026–28: Changes And What They Mean For You

IIM Ahmedabad has released its selection criteria for admission to the PGP 2026– 28 batch via CAT 2025. The headline change: the minimum qualifying cut-offs are now 95 overall and 85 in each section for General/EWS, with commensurately high floors for other categories.

Beyond the CAT minima, IIMA applies P thresholds (average of X & XII, stream- and category-wise) and a graduation cut-off set at the 80th percentile within your academic category. Final offers weigh PI (50%), AWT (10%), CAT (25%), and AR (15%). Below is the clean breakdown so you can skip the guesswork.
