There was no WAT/GD/PI rounds conducted for the applicants and it was not part of the selection criteria.
The initial shortlisting was done purely on the basis of the CAT performance
Stage 1: Criteria for Eligibility to be considered for admission to PGP
The following cut-offs were used for selecting eligible candidates for all subsequent stages. Therefore, the CAT-2014 score is the single criterion used as the basis for arriving at the first short-list.
Table : Minimum CAT-2014 Percentile

Stage 2: Criteria for Final Selection of the Candidates
The candidates who had applied to the proposed new "IIM in Maharashtra" at the time of CAT-2014 registration and also meet the cut-offs shown in Table 1 above, would be receiving an email from IIM Nagpur. These candidates will be provided a link to a page where they MUST express and reconfirm their desire to pursue their candidature further for the admission to PGP in management at "IIM Nagpur" by a stipulated date.
a. Past Academic Performance (PAP)
- Here, we look at the applicants' academic performance (marks obtained) in 10th Standard Examination, 12th Standard Examination and Bachelor's Degree Examination.
- For 10th and 12th Standards: The eligible applicants, as obtained in stage 1 above, will be assigned rating scores 'A' and 'B' (See Table 2) based on their percentage of marks obtained in 10th and 12th standard examinations respectively.
- For Bachelor's Degree: The eligible applicants as obtained in stage 1 above, will be assigned a rating score 'C' (See Table 2) based on the percentage of marks received in the Bachelor's degree.

<= 55 | 1 |
> 55 and <= 60 | 2 |
> 60 and <= 70 | 3 |
> > 70 and <= 80 | 4 |

> 60 and <= 65 | 3 |
> > 65 and <= 70 | 4 |
> 70 and <= 75 | 7 |
> 75 | 10 |
PAP = (0.25*A+0.35*B+0.40*C)/10
b. Work Experience (WE)
For the work experience of completed months x, the candidates will be assigned a WE score using the following formula:
WE = 0 for x <= 6
WE = 0 for x > 72
WE = x/36 for 6 < x <= 36
WE = 1 – ((x-36)/36) for 36 < x <= 72
The Final Selection
Selection at this stage will strictly be based on the ranks of the candidates computed separately for each category (General/SC/ST/NC-OBC/DAP) on the basis of their Final Scores (FS). The numbers selected in different categories will be in proportions mandated by the law.
The FS of a candidate, who meet the CAT-2014 cut-offs mentioned in Table 1 and who expresses and reconfirms his/her desire to pursue the candidature further by the stipulated date, will be computed using the following rule:
FS = 0.50 * (CAT Total Score /Maximum1 CAT Total Score) + 0.30 * (PAP Score) + 0.20 * (WE Score)
