What Does IIM Sirmaur's Latest Selection Criteria Mean For You?

As is the selection criteria of most second and third generation IIMs, IIM Sirmaur relies heavily on candidates' CAT performance to judge them and accept them for the MBA program. In 2021, the 93rd percentile is the minimum you need to score to even have a chance of getting admitted at any of the CAP IIMs.

IIM Sirmaur's dependence on CAT scores to evaluate candidates reduced significantly after the personal interview round, where candidates are shortlisted based on other components. It must be noted that with 35 percent weight for CAT 2021 scores and 30 percent weight for PI scores, a whopping 65 percent weight is in your hands!

Non-engineers and female applicants will have a very significant advantage in IIM Sirmaur's admissions process. Candidates with work experience will also have an edge over freshers, though too much work experience will fetch you no brownie points.
