The IIMs

Admission process

Entrance exam

The Common Admission Test (CAT) conducted by the IIMs is a very competitive test conducted for admission to around 2750 seats of graduate programs in management at the seven campuses, and is usually considered one of the most competitive exams in the world,[41] with a supposed success rate of about one in two hundred,[42](49.5% of seats are reserved based on reservation policy of the government and these statistics apply to the general merit category candidates only). Each institute conducts group discussions (GDs) and personal interviews to evaluate the students shortlisted after the test. Since 2009, CAT is conducted as a Computer Based Test operated by Prometric, a U.S. based company.[43]

In August 2011, the six newer IIMs (Raipur, Rohtak, Ranchi, Udaipur, Tiruchirapalli and Kashipur) announced that in the coming year they will eliminate the GD round. replacing it with a common written analysis test to evaluate communication and comprehensive skill. The seven older IIMs did not announce plans to change the admission process.[44]

The admissions for the one year full time programme is done by shortlisting based on GMAT scores in conjuction with candidate profile suitabilty. This is followed by evaluation of essays and a panel interview round. The quality of prior work experience and future leadership potential is a critical factor in the selections. [45] [46] [47]

Reservation policy

IIMs follow a caste-based affirmative action policy as per the provisions in the Indian constitution, similar to the reservation policy elsewhere in India.[citation needed]As per the rules of admission to IIMs, 15% of the admitted students must be of the Scheduled Castes, and 7.5% of seats are reserved for Scheduled Tribes. The Other Backward Classes have been given 27% reservation since 2008 with the consent of the Supreme Court of India. It was implemented in a phased manner. Candidates applying for reserved seats are also required to take the Common Admission Test, though with lower requirements. Candidates have to clear further rounds which may consist of Group Discussion and Personal Interviews.[citation needed] Once admitted to the course, a reserved category student is required to meet all the criteria for completing the course as a General category student.[citation needed]

Academics

The IIMs offer only Post Graduate Courses. The two-year Post Graduate Diploma in Management is the flagship course across all IIMs. Some IIMs also offer a one-year Post Graduate Programme for executives.[48] Some IIMs also offer the Fellow Programme in Management, a doctoral programme in management sciences or short-term executive education courses and part-time programmes.

Alumni

In year 2005 leading alumni of various IIMs founded alumni organizations in various parts of the world, in order to form a dynamic community of leaders and thinkers who make a difference across the world.[49]

In year 2007 various alumni chapters of IIMs decided to form a Global IIM Alumni Society, to network existing alumni chapters and provide a common platform to link them all. It organizse global management events, publish books, contribute back to the parent institutions, network alumni via a shared intranet and extranet etc."[50]
