Official IIM Bangalore process: why two composite scores exist
IIM Bangalore’s official MBA (Business Analytics) admission process makes the distinction clear: one score is used before PI and another after PI/WAT.
Interview shortlist composite

Final admission composite
For candidates called for interview, the post-PI weights are PI = 40, WAT = 10, CAT = 25, 10th Maths = 5, 12th = 5, Bachelor’s = 5, Work Experience = 10. Within CAT, the split is VARC 6, DILR 9, QA 10.

1) Category-wise composite score cutoff for shortlisting to interview round

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-27 | 52.6351 | 42.1982 | 43.6882 | 37.4266 | 28.6808 | 17.0096 |

| 2023-25 | 51.5088 | 40.1132 | 42.0113 | 33.7470 | 20.2086 | 10.9466 |

Step 2: Read final selection CS

Offer counts tell you how broad the admit strategy was, and waitlist movement tells you how deep it moved later.
FAQ
Only the practical questions students usually ask.
Is IIM Bangalore MBA (Business Analytics) the same as PGPBA?
Yes. IIM Bangalore’s official pages use the degree title MBA (Business Analytics), and the programme is commonly referred to as PGPBA.
Can I compare shortlist CS and final selection CS directly?
No. The shortlist table is based on the pre-PI stage, while the final selection table is based on the post-PI composite after WAT and PI are factored in.
Why is the official percentile cutoff not enough to judge my chances?
Because the official first-shortlist percentile is only the eligibility threshold for deeper consideration. Actual shortlisting still depends on the institute’s multi-parameter composite score framework.
Does waitlist movement guarantee similar conversion next year?
No. It is useful context only. Next year can move very differently depending on overlap with other top colleges, category-wise acceptance behaviour, and the number of offers issued.
Need the same RTI format for all colleges and programmes?
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 official source links below.
