No interview

The Indian Institute of Management Jammu (IIM Jammu) and the Indian Institute of Management Sirmaur (IIM Sirmaur) will not be conducting any interview for selection of candidates for their PGP 2017-2019 batches.

The newly set up IIM campuses, mentored by IIM Lucknow, released their admission criteria for the upcoming batch recently, mentioning the minimum cutoff percentage and composite score formula. Their admission policies also clearly mentioned that no interview will be conducted. Those who had applied for the institutes at the time of CAT 2016 registrations, will be selected on the basis of their CAT score and other factors, calculated together.

Admission criteria for both the campuses is same and so are the weightage granted to attributes that form the constituents of the composite score. The institutes will start sending out admission offers to selected students from last week of May 2017.
