Notes to Table 2:Â
@ For the candidates appearing in their final year examination, the marks up to one year before the final examinations (for instance, up to the second year for a three-year degree course, and up to the third year for a four-year degree course) shall be considered for the entire admission process. However, such candidates will still have to secure the minimum percentage of marks in their graduation examination as per the CAT 2019 eligibility criteria.Â
* The maximum marks for the diversity factors (DFa and DFb) cannot exceed 20 for PGP-ABM Â
#The candidates seeking admission to PGP-ABM/ PGP-SM programs need to fill up and submit ‘special PGP-ABM/ PGP-SM form’ mandatorily, by the stipulated deadline. Else, such candidates shall not be considered for WAT-PI process for PGP-ABM/ PGP-SM programs.
$The work experience, as on July 31, 2019, entered at the time of CAT-2019 registration will be considered as final for the admission process. In the case of work experience in fractional months at more than one organization, a sum of 30 calendar days (across organizations) will be considered as one complete month. The work experience will be verified based on the relevant documents (including experience certificate, appointment letter/relieving letter, first & last pay slips, bank statement, etc.) to be produced by the candidate at the time of WAT- PI and subsequent admission related processes.
^^For the calculation of aggregate percentage for HSC, the marks obtained for all the subjects, which appear on the mark-sheet, will be considered. The same rule will apply for the calculation of aggregate percentage for graduation if the aggregate marks/ percentage for the course is not provided. In case the marks obtained are not available, the CGPA will be converted into equivalent percentage as per the conversion formula/norms provided by the board/university/institution. In case a conversion formula is not provided by the university/ institution, the obtained CGPA computed as the percent of maximum cumulative grade points shall be considered the aggregate percentage. In the cases where both the marks obtained and CGPA are provided in the mark-sheet(s), the ‘marks obtained’ will be considered for the calculation of aggregate percentage for graduation.
