Academics

Admissions

IMT G has an admission procedure which takes place in a three-step model. The top 10 percentiles in CAT/XAT/GMAT are given a call for a group discussion in the major cities of the country. The call getters are also based on their profiles. The GD is followed by a personal interview which is taken in most cases by two faculty members and an alumnus. The students having the maximum combined score in GD and PI are then given a final call by the college. In 2015, a separate written ability test (WAT) was conducted instead of the group discussion. Rights of admission at all times are reserved by the administration of the college.[16]
