Eligibility and selection criteria

Eligibility

A minimum 50% in graduation, which must be completed by June 2013.

Should have taken CAT (2013) conducted by the IIMS for the year specified in the advertisement (IIMS have no role in the Welingkar admission process) and /or/ XAT (2014) / and / or ATMA (2013-2014) and / or CMAT (2013-2014) and / or Mh-CET (2014).

Selection Process

The Selection process is divided into two stages.

Stage I:

Will apply for all students who submit their completed application forms with the requisite documents within the time specified by the Institute.

Stage I	Maximum Marks
Written test (WT)	140
Past Academic performance (PAR)	15
Work experience (WE)	15
Total for stage I	170

Written Test Score (WT)

The Institute, basis of the percentile provided by the student, will assign a score out of 140 using a statistical normalization process. In case, the student has given multiple test percentiles, the highest will be considered.
Students should note that percentile and percentage are not the same.

Past academic record (PAR)

The marks assigned for past academic record include marks for percentage obtained in Class 10, Class 12, Graduation and Post Graduation (if applicable). In case a student is appearing for Graduation or Post Graduation, the percentage column will be blank. Students must not enter an aggregate of previous years

Documents to be enclosed along with completed application for academic results are:

1. Attested copy of Mark sheet of Class 10, 12, Graduation, Post Graduation (whichever applicable)

2. Attested copy of Graduation and Post Graduation Certificate.

Applications not having the above documents will not be given marks for Past Academic Record. Maximum Marks in this section is 15.

Documents to be enclosed along with completed application for persons with work experience are:

1. Experience letter or a combination of Appointment letter and latest salary slip for the current organization working

2. Experience letter or a combination of Appointment and Relieving letter for all previous jobs mentioned.

The maximum marks in this parameter is 15. In the absence of the above documents marks will not be given for the work experience claimed by the student.

ANY false claim / fake documents being submitted will be automatically disqualified from the Selection Process and no appeal will be entertained in this regard.

The total score of 170 in Stage I will then be used to shortlist students for Stage II of the Selection process. Therefore ALL applicants will not be called for Stage II. Students should note that being called for Stage II is dependant on 3 parameters as mentioned above and not only on the Written Test Score. Hence a specific percentile cut-off for being invited to Stage II does not apply.

The Extracurricular activities and Essay Questions will be reviewed in the Personal Interviews; hence students are advised to respond to them appropriately. Your response to the questions in the Application Form will play a significant role in your interviews.

Personal Interview is aimed at evaluating the students from an overall perspective, and suitability and capability to pursue a management program. It is also aimed at judging the interest and aptitude of the students with reference to the programs indicated in the Preference section.

The Psychometric and Creativity test is a computer based test aimed at identifying your personality traits.
