IIM Shillong PGPM Selection Process 2027
IIM Shillong PGPM admission uses a two-phase process. Phase 1 shortlists candidates for PI using a Composite Score. Phase 2 produces the final merit list using an Overall Score (OS).
Phase 1: Shortlisting for PI
Candidates clearing section-wise CAT cutoffs are ranked by Composite Score. Composite Score = 65% of CAT percentile + 35% of Normalised Application Rating Score (NARS). NARS is the candidate’s ARS scaled against the top 50 ARS scores in the pool.
ARS combines scores for Class X marks, Class XII marks, graduation marks, and work experience. The maximum ARS is 44 points. Candidates are ranked within their academic discipline and social category separately.
Work experience contributes up to 14 points in ARS. The table below shows the IIM Shillong PGPM work experience scoring for PGPM 2027-29 (as per the official 2026-28 document):
| Work Experience (months) | Score (out of 14) |
|---|---|
| Less than 7 months (fresher) | 0 |
| 7 to less than 12 months | 6 |
| 12 to less than 18 months | 12 |
| 18 to less than 24 months | 14 |
| 24 to less than 30 months | 10 |
| 30 to less than 36 months | 6 |
| 36 to less than 42 months | 2 |
| 42 months or more | 0 |
Key insight: The highest work experience score (14 points) is for 18 to 24 months of experience. Freshers and candidates with 42 or more months both score 0. A profile with 12 to 24 months of experience scores highest in this component.
Phase 2: Final Merit List (Overall Score)
Candidates who clear the PI minimum thresholds enter the final merit list. The Overall Score (OS) uses the weights below.
| Component | Weightage in OS |
|---|---|
| CAT 2026 Score | 40% |
| Personal Interview (PI) | 40% |
| Application Rating Score (ARS) | 10% |
| Gender Diversity Score | 10% |
The gender diversity score gives 10 bonus points to non-majority gender candidates. Majority gender is determined by the highest proportion appearing in CAT 2026. Minimum PI score requirements for merit listing are shown below.
| Category | Min Communication Proficiency | Min PI Score |
|---|---|---|
| General (OT) and EWS | 30% | 30% |
| SC | 25% | 25% |
| ST and DA | 20% | 20% |
Admission offers go in rank order of OS. A waitlist is maintained. Waitlist movement depends on seat availability. No minimum OS cutoff is published for the waitlist.
