what is the cnpi process in IMT-Ghaziabad?

IMT Ghaziabad is one of the most popular colleges for MBA. To get admission here, you have to appear for MBA entrance exams like CAT, XAT, GMAT, and CMAT. On clearing those you can apply for IMT Ghaziabad and its various branches in Nagpur, Hyderabad, and Dubai. Further, for the selection, you need to go through a few stages which include Critical thinking, Group Exercise, and Personal Interview.

It consists of three simple stages as CT-GE-PI and Common Application form for its final selection process.

The Critical Thinking Test:

• After arrival and registration of the shortlisted candidates, there will be a thorough long Critical Thinking Test for the duration of 30 minutes.
• This will boil down on three parameters - critical thinking, written communication skills, and innovation & creativity.

Group Exercise:

• After the critical thinking test, the candidates will be divided into small groups for the Group Exercise.
• The group will be given a problem to solve or a task to perform, which they must do together while discussing among themselves.
• For instance, they might be asked to do a short case study, solve a puzzle, or solve a business problem.
• This will take approximately 30 minutes and will evaluate the candidate on four parameters – contribution of ideas, leadership potential, interpersonal skills and communication & attitude.

Personal Interview:

• Post the Group Exercise, the candidate will have a personal interview of approximately 15 minutes, during which he/she will be evaluated on four parameters: domain knowledge, communication skills, versatility (extra-curricular/general awareness), as well as values & maturity.
• Work Experience candidates will be additionally evaluated on the relevance of their work experience in relation to the PGDM program.

The final merit of the candidate will be a cumulative weighted average which has the Academic Scores, Work Experience, and the scores obtained during the CT-GE-PI process.

Both merit and campus score cut-offs will be the foundation of selection for IMT campuses, i.e. Ghaziabad, Nagpur, Hyderabad, and Dubai.
