IIM Amritsar: 6 Answered Questions
Did you have great academic scores in order to get into IIM Amritsar?
My cousin recently got into IIM Amritsar with a profile of 8/7/7. She did not let her low grades discourage her and she strived hard to get a great CAT score. Don’t let your past affect your future prospects. Put your 100% effort and you will definitely get what you deserve. As far as her graduation score is concerned, not many scored above 8 GPA. So her 7 GPA wasn’t that bad. In class 12th also, most of the IIMs compare a score of 80 in the Assam board to an 80 in the Andhra board or CBSE. Engineers also face an academic diversity issue. So they need a higher percentile than other graduates. Nowadays IIMs are converting CAT percentiles to the percentage for the CAT weightage component. So, the gap between the 99 and 95 percentile stoops down to 2 points for 50 % CAT weightage. Had the CAT scores been taken, the gap would have been 10–12 points. Hence it makes candidates with low academic profiles difficult to get into IIM. Fortunately, my cousin was lucky enough to get admission as a GEM fresher with an average profile.
I am doing an MBA from Nirma University. Now I got a call from IIM Amritsar. Should I go there?
.jpg?h=18&w=18&mode=stretch)
IIM Amritsar is a newly established IIM and is not yet in the league of the IIM family. Despite that, its placement statistics are better than at Nirma University. IIM Amritsar is the 15th Indian Institute of Management being set up by the Ministry of Human Resources Development with the support of the Government of Punjab. IIM Amritsar has a small batch size in comparison to Nirma University. The programs offered at both the B Schools are different.
What is the cutoff for IIM Amritsar (general) and other baby IIMs (estimated percentile required for conversion, not just calls)?
It is possible to achieve a high percentile in the CAT exam, such as 99+, and still not receive an invitation from any Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs). This is because a high percentile alone is not always sufficient for guaranteed acceptance.
It is important to note that IIMs take into consideration a candidate's overall academic performance since the 10th standard and not just their CAT percentile. Additionally, candidates must also clear the Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds. Furthermore, candidates from an engineering background may have a slight disadvantage in terms of points.
Some IIMs also place a significant emphasis on work experience.
| Category | Quantitative Aptitude(Percentile) | Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning(Percentile) | Verbal & Reading Comprehension(Percentile) | Total(Overall Percentile) |
| Section-1 | Section-2 | Section-3 | ||
| General | 80 | 75 | 75 | 85 |
| EWS | 80 | 75 | 75 | 85 |
| Non-Creamy Other Backward Classes (NC-OBC) | 65 | 60 | 60 | 75 |
| Scheduled Castes (SC) | 55 | 50 | 50 | 55 |
| Scheduled Tribes (ST) | 35 | 35 | 35 | 40 |
| Persons with Disabilities (PwD) | 35 | 35 | 35 | 40 |
It is highly recommended to visit the official websites of the IIMs you are interested in for detailed information on the selection criteria and to keep yourself updated. You can also connect with current students via LinkedIn to gather more information. It's important to note that selection criteria can slightly change every year.
Is iim amritsar worth joining at the age of 21?
The younger you are, the more opportunities you will receive. So don’t let the age factor discourage you. It’s highly possible that the old IIMs did not consider you. Think of the bright side. You are young and you have multiple CAT opportunities.
What you can do is work somewhere and gain experience. This might upgrade your profile. Inculcate extracurricular skills and prepare yourself well for the next batch of CAT aspirants. Keep trying till your dream comes true.
Which one should I join, XIMB BM or IIM Amritsar?
If you have to choose between XIMB and IIM Amritsar I will always suggest you go for IIM Amritsar. Apart from the IIM tag, its relentless growth is a major deciding factor. The ROI at XIMB is very less in comparison to IIM. The points below will help you understand my point.
- The fee of IIM Amritsar is INR 12 Lakhs whereas that of XIMB is INR 20 Lakhs.
- The Average package is almost similar to the 2 colleges ( IIM Amritsar- INR 14.63 LPA and XIMB- INR 15.42 LPA). So when compared to the fees XIMB has a lower ROI than IIM Amritsar.
- IIM Amritsar has witnessed fast-paced growth in recent years.
- It is the only and best MBA college in the whole of Punjab
- The batch size is smaller than that of XIMB and it’s an extra benefit when it comes to placement opportunities.
So IIM Amritsar is the best option among the 3 colleges.
I had scored 76.5/81.4/75 in 10th, 12th, and graduation respectively with zero work experience. I am a non-engineer. Is there any chance to get IIM Amritsar, Vizag, and Rohtak?
Based on your academic performance, you have the potential to be admitted to the top 30 colleges for MBA programs. It is recommended to focus on preparing for and achieving the best percentile possible in exams such as CAT and other relevant exams. It is unclear who has provided you with the options previously mentioned, but it is important to consider other options that may be more suitable for you.
Some of the options that you have a chance to receive an invitation from and potentially convert into an acceptance include the following:
- Indian Institute of Management - Calcutta (IIM-C)
- New Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs)
- Institute of Management Technology (IMT)
- Management Development Institute (MDI)
- T.A Pai Management Institute (TAPMI)

- FORE School of Management
- Mudra Institute of Communications (MICA)
- Xavier Institute of Management (XIMB)
- Loyola Institute of Business Administration (LIBA)
- Symbiosis
- Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS)
It is always important to make informed decisions by researching and discussing your options before making a final decision.
