IIM Visakhapatnam 2024-26 Admission Phase II

In the second stage, IIM Visakhapatnam will consider the candidates' percentage scores in Class 10 and 12 boards. Apart from that, the institute gives certain weightage to work experience acquired by a candidate. Candidates who have pursued professional courses including Chartered Accountancy, Company Secretary, and CMA course will be given additional weightage.

The score of work experience for every eligible candidate is calculated out of 8 using the following formula:

  • Work Experience = 8x/36 (if 0 <x <36) OR
  • Work Experience = 8 (if x >= 36)

Here, x is the number of months counted up to the date of release of CAT notification of the respective year. The work experience calculated with the help of the above formula is multiplied by the quality of work experience score that is given on a 5-point scale.

The quality of work experience is given by the interviewer during the personal interview and the score evaluated for work experience is considered for the final selection. Candidates can apply either for weightage through work experience or through professional course weightage. A candidate will not be considered for both components.

Candidates are shortlisted for the next round of selection on the basis of the score achieved by them in different components.
