ITM uses standardized management entrance test scores as a part of its overall selection process. Candidates are not selected/disqualified on the basis of their test scores only. The test score is just one part of an overall candiate profile.

The following test scores are accepted:

•  CAT (Common Application Form)

•  XAT (Xavier's Management Test)

•  GMAT (Graduate Management Aptitude Test)

Submit an attested copy of your Test Score Card along with the application form. If you have not received your test score, give details of Test Registration Number, Test Centre Code, etc.

Note: ITM uses the CAT score for short-listing candidates called for Group Discussions/Personal Interview. IIM's have no role in selection or in conducting the program.

Several Group Discussion & Personal Interview sessions will be conducted starting in February 2007. For selected candidates, the intimation for interview & group discussion is done through registered post and e-mail.

• Past academic performance
• Quality & content of the answers in the application form
• Work experience, if any, in terms of job content & organization
• Group Discussion & Interview performance
• Extra curricular activities, other interests & accomplishments
• CAT/XAT/GMAT score
