IIM Lucknow MBA RTI Data
This page is built around the 3 things most MBA aspirants search for: category-wise shortlist composite score, category-wise final selection composite score, and category-wise total waitlist movement. Since IIM Lucknow’s publicly surfaced data is more granular for shortlist stage than for final-offer stage, this page keeps that difference transparent.
For IIM Lucknow, the shortlist and final-selection score structures are not the same. So this page keeps them separate, and wherever the public source format changes from detailed PwD sub-categories to aggregate category reporting, that is shown clearly.

Official IIM Lucknow Formula: Why two score blocks exist
This is why shortlist CS and final CS are separate sections on this page.
WAT / PI shortlist
Current official policy assigns shortlist weights as: CAT 60 + Class 12 marks 10 + Graduation marks 10 + Work Experience 10 + Academic Diversity 5 + Gender Diversity 5 = 100.
Final selection
Current official policy assigns final weights as: CAT 30 + Academic Performance (12M + GM) 10 + Diversity 5 + Work Experience 5 + WAT 10 + PI 40 = 100.
How to read this page correctly
One clean framework for students.
Step 1: Read shortlist CS
Use this to understand whether your profile + CAT combination was strong enough for the interview shortlist in that category.
Step 2: Read final CS
Use this to understand the level at which final offers happened after WAT and PI were added to the process.
Step 3: Read waitlist movement
Use this to estimate how much extra room opened after the initial offer round. This is convert-depth context, not a guarantee.
FAQ
Only the practical questions students usually ask.
Which table is more important: shortlist CS or final CS?
Both matter, but for different uses. Shortlist CS helps you understand call difficulty. Final CS helps you understand convert difficulty after WAT and PI.
Why are some tables six-category and some ten-category?
Because the official shortlist PDFs for IIM Lucknow show detailed PwD sub-category splits, while publicly surfaced final-offer and waitlist summaries are commonly shown in aggregate category format.
Can I compare shortlist CS and final CS directly?
No. They are based on different score structures. At IIM Lucknow, shortlist scoring and final admission scoring are related to different stages of the process.
Does higher waitlist movement always mean easier conversion?
Not always. It may help, but movement depends on overlaps with other top colleges, number of offers issued, acceptance behavior, and category-wise seat dynamics.
Why is the official CAT cutoff not enough to predict an IIM Lucknow call?
Because clearing the minimum CAT cutoff only makes you eligible for consideration. IIM Lucknow then uses a composite score framework for shortlist generation.
Need this same RTI format for all colleges?
This page is now structured the right way for MBA RTI intent: shortlist CS first, final selection CS second, total offers third, waitlist movement fourth, and source links below.
