IIM Amritsar MBA-BA RTI Data
This page is built around what serious students usually search first for IIM Amritsar MBA-BA: category-wise CAT cutoffs, pre-PI and post-PI composite-score logic, RTI-based shortlist, final offer and accepted-offer data, AWAT/PI and final composite-score ranges, fees and funding visibility, and a clean comparison between MBA-BA 2025–27 and 2024–26 RTI replies.
This IIM Amritsar MBA-BA page is intentionally designed as a student-first RTI reference page. Unlike many pages that only dump PDF links, this one combines the current official MBA-BA admission rules for 2026–28 with the uploaded RTI reply for MBA-BA 2025–27 and the uploaded RTI reply for MBA-BA 2024–26. So you can read the current policy and the historical RTI evidence on the same page.
What most students want first
The fastest student-use sequence here is: current official cutoffs, score formula, 2025–27 RTI final-offer data, AWAT/PI composite ranges, then fees, FAQ and comparison with 2024–26.
Official overall CAT cutoff for General category in the current MBA-BA 2026–28 admission process.
CAT has 50% weight in the official pre-PI score for MBA-BA.
PI carries 70% weight in the official post-PI score.
Total of category-wise final offers visible in RTI Table 6 for MBA-BA 2025–27.

RTI Table 8 shows zero deferments for all categories for MBA-BA 2025–27.
How to read this page correctly
The strongest way to use this page is evidence-first: current official policy for the present cycle, RTI tables for historical behaviour, and a note wherever the institute itself has not maintained a data point.
Use this for current admissions
For current planning, trust the official MBA-BA admission page first for cutoffs, parameter weights and the final aggregate formula.
Strong historical table support
The 2025–27 reply is detailed. It gives direct tables for category-wise and gender-wise admission data instead of only narrative answers.
Good comparison year
The 2024–26 reply is useful for trend comparison, but some rows say the institute did not maintain the required stream-wise data at that stage.
Partial and honest
The 2025–27 RTI explicitly says category-wise individual waitlist movement is not maintained in records, so this page does not invent such numbers.
