As you have asked about the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Bangalore
MBA programme admission process, I am giving you information about it,
check below for the details

IIMB adopts a two-phase selection process and accordingly these selection
criteria are applied in two phases.



The first phase process is applied to all eligible candidates who appear for
CAT to determine those qualifying candidates who will be called for personal
interview (PI).

During the PI process the candidates selected for interviewing during a
particular half-day (morning or afternoon) session will have to write a short
note (one page) on a topic provided by IIMB. The topics chosen will typically
reflect current political, economic and business affairs, though other topics
such as sports and those that require more creative thinking may also be
included. The time provided for writing the note will typically be about 30
minutes.

During the interview , the panel will evaluate each candidate’s
performance on academic background , quality of work experience and other
personal traits. The written note will be evaluated separately.

Scores of both, written note and interview , in combination with pre-PI
selection parameters will be used cumulatively in the second and final phase
of selection to identify the candidates who will merit selection from among
those candidates who appear for the PI.



The selection process, parameters and weights used are uniform for all
categories of applicants.



Sufficient candidates are short listed at each stage in each category to meet
the reservation requirement for each group, as applicable at that time.

Phase 1

The first shortlist of candidates is based on candidates securing minimum
section-wise and aggregate percentile scores in the CAT


Pre PI score for Work Experience = 5x/36 if 0 < x < 36 OR = 5 if x >= 36.

Where x is the months of work experience, as captured in CAT application form (and substantiated in the application to IIMB).
