1. Criteria for shortlisting for PI & WAT:

 

(Note: This is last year’s criteria.   This year criteria are under revision and will be notified later)

 

IIM T will use CAT percentile for shortlisting candidates for PI & WAT. The table below indicates the minimum performance expected from candidates to be shortlisted for the PI & WAT. Please note that achieving the cut-off percentile in CAT is a necessary but not sufficient condition for being shortlisted.

 

Student Category	Quantitative Aptitude (Section 1)	Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning (Section 2)	Verbal & Reading Comprehension (Section 3)	Total (Overall Percentile)
General	80	80	80	95
NC-OBC	60	60	60	78
SC	50	50	50	60
ST	30	30	30	40
DAP	30	30	30	40

 

It must be noted that the cut-off percentiles given above are indicative. The actual cut-off percentiles for the 2020-22 batch may vary from those mentioned. IIM Tiruchirappalli will decide the number of candidates to be called for the PI & WAT for each of the above categories, depending on which the cut off percentiles can change.

The Personal Interview and Written Analysis Test would be conducted at New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai and Kolkata. The exact date for PI & WAT will be communicated to the shortlisted candidates by the coordinating Institute for 2020-22 batch on behalf of other participating IIMs.
