IIM Lucknow Composite Score Calculation Method
Scaled CAT Score Calculation (CS)
- The maximum weightage is given to CAT score that is 60% for shortlisting candidates in all the 3 types of courses.
- The scaled CAT Score is calculated by using the formula:
CS= (Candidate’s CAT Score / Highest CAT 2022 score) X 60
Class 12 Marks (12M)
- IIMs do consider the past academic scores of candidates.
- The weightage of Class 12 marks is 10 marks in the composite score.
- The weightage of class 12 marks varies depending upon the percentage scored by the candidates in that class.
- Method of scoring: 12M = [{Max (P, 80) – 80}/20] x10, where P represents the candidate’s class 12th percentile based on applicants’ pooled data for the respective Boards and Disciplines.
Graduation Marks (GM)
- The maximum weightage given to graduation marks is 10 marks.
- Also, the Graduation score of the candidate is normalized for each kind of stream.
- IIM Lucknow uses a mathematical formula for normalization, but the variable of that formula actually depends upon the graduation scores of other candidates who have been shortlisted.
Work Experience (WE)
- The maximum weightage of Work Experience is 10 marks in PGP and PGP-SM.
- Work experience is not taken into consideration for PGP-ABM.
- The valid work experience that is considered should be of at least 6 months and 24 months for PGP and PGP-SM respectively.
Diversity Factor
- The weightage of Diversity factor is based on two factors that is Gender and Academic Background. This component has been added recently.
- Female candidates will get 5 points for diversity factor for all kinds of courses, irrespective of their graduation stream.
- For PGP and PGP-SM, candidates who have done their graduation in any stream except Engineering will get 5 points of diversification.
- For PGP-ABM courses, candidates will get 5 points of diversity if they belong to streams like Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, Forestry, Science etc.
