One of the top management schools in India, IIM Ahmedabad, selects students into its post-graduate programmes based on a variety of criteria, including academic achievement, professional experience, and extracurricular activities. Although there is no set threshold for the grades needed to graduate, it is recommended to have a consistently strong academic record.
Candidates are often seen as competitive for admission to IIM Ahmedabad if they obtained a grade point average of at least 75% in their undergraduate programme. However, the institute considers the candidate's entire profile, thus a strong performance in the graduation exam alone does not ensure admission.
CAT, a national-level entrance test for admission to management programmes at IIMs and other B-schools, is also taken into account by IIM Ahmedabad.
