The second stage: The shortlisted candidates appear for PI and WAT at the respective IIMs where they are shortlisted.

The third stage: In this stage, admission criteria involve a calculation of the score for final admission. This score is called the composite score (CS) in most of the IIMs. The calculation of CS is based on the weightage given to various factors. These factors differ from IIM to IIM. Some of the factors are:

• CAT score – This is taken into account by all IIMs
• PI and WAT scores
• Past academic performance (PAP) – Class 10, 12 and UG marks

• WAT /PI – Then the candidates face the CAP procedure, which consists of a single WAT/PI.
• Final Merit List – The scores of the candidates in the WAT/PI are then sent to all the IIMs under CAP. Taking the score into the account, all the CAP IIMs prepare a final shortlist.
