Selection Process:
IMT will shortlist the candidates for the CT-GE-PI based on their best available scores in CAT/XAT/GMAT for IMT Ghaziabad and CAT/XAT/GMAT/CMAT for Nagpur and Hyderabad.
The CT-GE-PI will be conducted in February 2017 at Ghaziabad, Nagpur, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Kolkata.
1. Critical Thinking Test (CT)
After arrival and registration of the shortlisted candidates, there will be a 30 minute-long Critical Thinking Test, which will evaluate the candidate on three parameters - critical thinking, written communication skills and innovation & creativity.
2. Group Exercise (GE)
After the critical thinking test, the candidates will be formed into small groups and will perform a Group Exercise. Each group will be given a problem to solve or a task to perform, which they must do together with discussion among group members. This will take approximately 30 minutes and will evaluate the candidate on four parameters - contribution of ideas, leadership potential, interpersonal skills and communication & attitude.
3. Personal Interview (PI)
After the Group Exercise, each candidate will go through a personal interview of approximately 15 minutes, during which s/he will be evaluated on four parameters - domain knowledge (academic orientation), communication skills, versatility, relevance of work experience (if applicable), and values & maturity.
Sample question papers for the CT and GE can be downloaded from http://www.imt.edu/admissions/pgdm/selection-process/.
The final merit of each candidate will be a cumulative weighted average of the academic scores, performance in CT-GE-PI, overall candidate profile, and work experience (if applicable).
