IIM Shllon PGP (07-9) Admssons Process After CAT 06, the canddates for admsson to PGP (07-9) batch wll be selected n two phases. In the frst phase, a short lst of canddates would be declared for the Group Dscusson (GD) and Personal Intervew (PI).In the second phase a fnal mert lst wll be prepared based on whch admsson to the PGP (07-9) batch wll be offered. The process n each of these phases s descrbed n the follown sectons. Phase : Short lstn for GD and PI A. All canddates who have opted (as per the CAT applcaton) for IIM Shllon PGP 07-9 are elble for consderaton n Phase. For consderaton n short lstn the mnmum requrements of marks n varous examnaton/test, for canddates n dfferent cateores, wll be as ven n Table.

We use the follown notatons to explan varous canddates consdered for short lstn. M j : Number of canddates n the j th cateory, j = D, T, C, G, The number of canddates n respectve Cateores wll thus be denoted by M D,,, and. Pae of 7
B. The canddates obtaned follown A wll then be sereated as per ther academc dscplnes n raduaton and as reported n CAT 06 data. The notatons used for academc dscplnes are, =,, 3,...,, where s the number of academc dscplnes reported n the CAT 06 data. C. From each Academc dscplne a certan percentae (α) of canddates would be shortlsted for GD and PI. Ths s llustrated as follows. For example, N: Number of canddates shortlsted after step A of phase I : Number of Academc dscplnes Then, N s the number of canddates present n the th academc dscplne =,, 3,..., Now, let α denote the percentae of N canddates n the th Academc dscplne.

D. The canddates resulted throuh Step A n respectve Cateores.e. M D,,, and wll be sereated nto varous sub-roups based on ther academc dscplne as per ther bachelor s dscplne as reported n CAT data. Therefore, the sub-roups resulted would be as shown n Table 3: Pae of 7

For example, canddates n cateory DA and academc dscplne would be ranked,, 3,, M D ) n the decreasn order of ther CAT overall percentle. F. Number of canddates shortlsted for GD and PI.. Based on the canddates data n CAT 06, the Insttute wll decde to shortlst a total of X canddates for GD and PI. X wll be decded based on the overall performance of the canddates n CAT 06, the number of seats avalable, buffer for possble overlap and attendance trends n the past, etc. X= Number of canddates to be called for GD and PI Pae 3 of 7
The number of canddates to be shortlsted for ntervew n respectve cateory wll be X j, j = D, T, C, G, where = 3.0% of X rounded to hher nearest nteer, X T = 7.5% of X rounded to hher nearest nteer, X C = 5.0% of X rounded to hher nearest nteer, and X G = 74.5% of X rounded to hher nearest nteer..

Phase : Mert Lstn for Admsson Offer to PGP 07-9 Batch Scores of GD and PI wll be used alon wth overall CAT performance for preparaton of the fnal mert lst for admsson offer. x: Score n GD, y: Score n PI. z: Overall CAT Absolute Score Further, x, y and z would be then Normalzed as N x, N y and N z for preparaton of the fnal mert lst. Let us say total m number of canddates wll appear n the GD and PI process. An overall score, OS c for every canddate c, who appears GD and PI wll be calculated usn the follown formula, whch wll be used for preparn the mert lst for the fnal selecton. OS c = w (N c x ) + w (N c y ) + w 3 (N c z ) c =,, 3,, m where, OS c : Overall score for the canddate c x N c : Normalzed score of Performance of the canddate c n GD. y N c : Normalzed score of Performance of the canddate c n PI. z N c : Normalzed score of Performance of the canddate c n Overall CAT Absolute Score.

The cut off score wll be used to prepare a lst of canddates elble for preparaton of mert lst for admsson offer.

The admsson offers wll be made to the canddates n order of ther rank based on the OS c scores. Reservaton Polcy The Insttute abdes by the reservaton polcy as per the Government of Inda provsons as applcable on RGIIM Shllon. Note:. The crtera for selecton process as dscussed n the document are decded based on the pattern and performance trends of the past years CAT data of canddates, who had appled to ths Insttute. In case, there s a consderable chane n the performance and profle of the canddates n CAT 06 applyn to the Insttute, the Insttute reserves the rht to chane and/or modfy the aforesad crtera.. For a canddate who has completed CA/ICWA/CS wthout havn a bachelor s deree, the the bachelor deree marks would be the percentae marks he obtaned n the fnal examnaton n CA/ICWA/CS. 3. For bachelor s deree, the percentae of marks awarded by the nsttute/unversty wll be treated as fnal. If any board/nsttute/unversty awards only letter rades wthout provdn an equvalent percentae of marks on the rade sheet, the canddate should obtan a certfcate from the board/nsttute/unversty specfyn the equvalent marks whch should be used for flln the onlne CAT applcaton form. The ornal equvalence certfcate needs to be submtted at the tme of ntervew, f shortlsted for the same. 4. For canddates yet to complete the bachelor deree, after th/hsc, the percentae of marks obtaned for the years/semesters completed, as entered n the onlne CAT applcaton form, wll be projected to obtan the percentae n bachelor deree. Pae 6 of 7
5. For canddates havn underone/completed an nterated Master s deree or Dual deree, after th/hsc, the percentae of marks obtaned, as per your Unversty/Insttute norms, wll be consdered as equvalent to marks n Bachelor Deree. For those underon (yet to complete) an nterated Master s deree or Dual deree, after th/hsc, the percentae of marks obtaned for the years/semesters completed as entered n the onlne CAT applcaton form wll be used to project marks n bachelor deree. 6. Please note that IIM Shllon short-lsts of canddates for GD& PI are ndependent of those of other IIMs. Hence t s possble to observe varatons n the lsts of canddates short-lsted by dfferent IIMs. 7. Short-lsted canddates would be ntmated throuh IIMS webste (www.mshllon.n), e-mal (as provded n CAT Applcaton form) and by SMS, tentatvely by the second week of January 07 after the CAT results are publshed. Shortlsted canddates are requred to fll-n the Intervew form and upload the same on IIMS webste (www.mshllon.n). IIM Shllon would send GD& PI call letters/ntervew letters to those shortlsted canddates who correctly fll n the Intervew form wthn the stpulated tme. No communcaton would be sent to applcants who are not short-lsted for GD& PI. 8. Canddates, who appear n GD& PI wll be able to vew whether they have been offered admsson by IIMS, tentatvely by the thrd or fourth week of Aprl 07 by vstn the IIM Shllon webste. Admsson offer letter would be sent to all successful canddates. Canddates, who are offered admsson, need to confrm ther acceptance by completn all the requred formaltes wthn the stpulated tme. Some canddates may also be placed on the watn lst ntally. Offers to canddates on the watn lst would depend upon the number of successful canddates acceptn the offer made by IIM Shllon. 9. Any dspute concernn Admssons to PGP (07-9) would be subject to jursdcton of the competent courts only. * * Ths document s released by Charman, Admsson Commttee, Rajv Gandh Indan Insttute of Manaement Shllon as on 30 November 06 ****************End of Document**************** Pae 7 of 7
