    Welcome to IIM Amritsar. IIM Amritsar is the 15th Indian Institute of Management being set up by the Ministry of Human Resources Development with the support of Government of Punjab.

    IIM Amritsar is being set up under the direction and mentorship of IIM Kozhikode, the 5th oldest IIM and one of the premier management institutes in the country.

    The first program being offered by IIM Amritsar is the Post Graduate Program in Management. The program has been conceived to provide world-class management education to meet the requirements of enterprises across sectors by producing highly skilled management professionals.

    IIM Amritsar Society was registered on July 27, 2015.

    The first batch of students for the class 2015-17 was enrolled on August 6,2015.

    IIM Amritsar Board of Governance & Society has been constituted on October 14, 2015.

    Finance Minister Arun Jaitley laid down foundation stone for IIM Amritsar Campus on Jun 16,2016.

    The second batch of students for the class 2016-18 was enrolled on July 16,2016.

    The admission process for the PGP program comprises of following stages.

    1.  Shortlisting candidates for WAT/GD//PI round.
    2.  Final Selection of candidates post WAT/GD/PI round 

     

    During the first stage, initially a pool of candidates who satisfy the following minimum CAT 2016 percentiles are considered.

    Category of Candidate Sectional Percentile Overall Percentile

    General

    70

    90

    OBC (NC)

    55

    75

    SC

    50

    55

    ST

    30

    35

    DAP

    30

    35

    Among the pool of candidates who meet the above mentioned percentiles, a list of candidates would be called for attending Written ability test (WAT) and Personal Interview depending on their performance in CAT.

    One point to be noted here is that for shortlisting candidates for WAT/PI rounds IIM Amritsar is considering only the CAT performance of a candidate. This goes on to show that performing well in CAT 2016 would go a long way in securing a WAT/PI call from this premier B-school.

    The following are the weightages that would be considered during the final selection of candidates

    Component Maximum Weight

    PI

    35.00%

    CAT

    40.00%

    WAT

    15.00%

    Work Experience

    5.00%

    Academic/Gender Diversity

    5.00%

    To conclude, one important observation about this year's selection process is that the total weightage for parameters which are controllable ( CAT,WAT and PI ) in the final selection stage has been kept at 90%. This ensures that the applicants, who do not have a good academic profile or work experience can still aspire to join IIM Amritsar by preparing well for CAT 2016, WAT and PI rounds.
