IIM Ahmedabad Revises MBA Admission Policy, Emphasizes CAT Percentiles for 2027-29
IIM Ahmedabad has revised its MBA admission policy for the 2027-29 Post Graduate Programme batch, replacing the normalised CAT score with CAT 2026 percentiles for shortlisting candidates for the Analytical Writing Test and Personal Interview. The CAT percentile now carries 65% weightage in the shortlisting composite score, with the remaining 35% from an Application Rating based on academic records, work experience, and gender diversity. Minimum CAT percentile cut-offs vary by category, and the Personal Interview holds the highest weight in final selection.
