Admission Process at IIM C through CAT-2019 for aspirants

The admission process at IIM C requires that a candidate must be a holder of a Bachelor's degree with a minimum of 50% marks (45% for SCT, ST and PWD categories) or similar CGPA from a recognised or deemed university. In case grades or CGPA are awarded instead of marks, they will be converted into marks based on the concerned university's procedure. In case the University/ Institution does not have any scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by dividing the candidate’s CGPA by the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the result with 100.

Candidates yet to obtain their respective degrees from the universities can produce original mark sheets along with photocopies as proof. Along with this, a certificate needs to be produced from the concerned institution stating the candidate has completed all requirements that are asked of a Bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification.
