The following is the process followed during the final selection stage:

Admission will be granted on the basis of merit and subsequently the consideration of the choice of the programme will be factored in. Once a candidate, as per the merit list, is offered admission from the programme of his/her first priority, then his/her name will be automatically withdrawn from the list of the candidates in the programme of his/her second priority.

If the candidate, as per the movement of the merit list, is offered admission in the Programme of his/her second priority, then the candidate has to choose to accept the offer with an undertaking that he/she is willing to withdraw his/her name from the list of the programme of his/her first priority OR he/she may refuse to accept this offer and continue to feature on the waitlist of the programme of his/her first priority.

All those candidates who appear in GE & PI are considered for the final merit list MUST be RECOMMENDED by majority of the panelists of PI.

All those who meet the criteria described above, their final composite score shall be created based on the following weightage:

• CAT/XAT/GMAT: 20%
• MICAT: 30%
• GE: 20%
• PI: 30%
