PGP Admission Policy 2019

This document summarizes the approach of IIM Bodh Gaya to prepare the admission list for
its PGP Batch 2019-21. The batch size is likely to be around 120. IIM Bodh Gaya reserves the
right to modify any part of this document including the various criteria and cut offs mentioned
at any time till the actual admission process for the batch is completed.
The admission process of IIM Bodh Gaya consists of:
 CAT Examination
 Short listing candidates for Personal Appearance (PA) process.
 Conducting the PA process. PA process is composed of Written Ability Test (WAT) and
Personal Interview (PI). The PA process will be common to all the 11 IIMs, namely, IIM
Amritsar, IIM Bodh Gaya, IIM Jammu, IIM Kashipur, IIM Raipur, IIM Ranchi, IIM
Rohtak, IIM Sambalpur, IIM Sirmaur, IIM Trichy and IIM Udaipur.
 Preparing the Merit List based on CAT score, WAT & PI score and Profile score as
indicated in following tables.
1. Criteria for Short listing to PA (WAT & PI) process
The cut-off percentile marks for eligibility to PA process in the three sections and the
total CAT percentile for different categories of students are given below:
Category Quantitative Data Interpretation & Verbal and Overall

Aptitude Logical Reasoning Reading Percentile
Percentile Percentile Comprehension
Percentile

NC-OBC 60 60 60 78
SC 50 50 50 60
ST 30 30 30 40
DAP 30 30 30 40
IIM Bodh Gaya's Admission Committee will decide the number of candidates who would
be called for PA process on the basis of criteria prepared for each category. However, if
the actual number of short-listed candidates were found to be less (more) than the
required number of candidates to be called for WAT & PI category-wise, then the overall
as well as section-wise minimum score would be reduced (increased) to get the desired
number of candidates.
