What's the selection criteria for IIM Shillong?

Candidates for PGP batch admission are selected through a two-stage process. After getting selected for CAT in the first level, students have to appear for the Writing Skills Assessment Test (WSAT) and Personal Interview. A final merit list is prepared in the second process, on the basis of which admission to the program is offered.

The Admissions Committee will scrutinize the applications in the case of overseas applicants and short-listed applicants will be invited to the Writing Skills Aptitude Test (WSAT) and Personal Interview (PI) on the basis of their GMAT results, scholastic performance, and work experience, if any.

The WSAT and PI will take place between January and April in four Indian cities, namely Bangalore, Delhi, Kolkata, and Mumbai. Short-listed candidates will be expected to attend PI on an informed date at either of these centers at their own expense or by video conferencing.

Final selection is made based on the results in all those criteria used for short-listing the candidates for PI as well as the performance in WSAT and PI.

Selected candidates will be tentatively offered admission by the end of April, and registration for the IIM Shillong campus program will take place tentatively during the first week of April.
