Eligibility
Overseas candidates of Indian origin
The
candidate must hold a Bachelor's Degree, with
at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA [45%
in case of the candidates belonging to Scheduled
Caste (SC) / Scheduled Tribe (ST) or Persons
with Disability (PWD) category], of any of
the Universities incorporated by an act of
the central or state legislature in India
or other educational institutions established
by an act of Parliament or declared to be
deemed as a University under section 3 of
UGC Act, 1956, or possess an equivalent qualification
recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government
of India. The Bachelor's Degree or equivalent
qualification obtained by the candidate must
entail a minimum of three years of education
after completing higher secondary schooling
(10+2) or equivalent. The percentage obtained
by the candidate in the bachelor's degree
would be based on the practice followed by
the university/institution from where the
candidate has obtained the degree. In case
of the candidates being awarded grades/CGPA
instead of marks, the equivalence would be
based on the equivalence certified by the
university/institution from where they have
obtained bachelor's degree. In case the university/institution
does not have any scheme for converting CGPA
into equivalent marks, the equivalence would
be established by the IIMs by dividing obtained
CGPA with the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying
the resultant with 100.
Candidates appearing for the final year of bachelor's degree / equivalent qualification examination and those who have completed degree requirement and are awaiting results can also apply. Such candidates must produce a certificate from the Principal/Head of the Department/Registrar/Director of the university/institution certifying that the candidate is currently in the final year / is awaiting final results and has obtained at least 50% marks or equivalent (45% in case of candidates belonging to SC/ST/PWD category) based on latest available grades/marks.

candidate who is appearing for the final year
of bachelor's degree/equivalent qualification,

of his/her college/institute (issued on or
before June 30, 2012) stating that the candidate
has completed all the requirements (the results
may, however, be awaited) for obtaining the
bachelor's degree/equivalent qualification
on the date of issue of the certificate. The
admission will be confirmed only when the
candidate submits the mark sheet and a certificate
of having passed the bachelor's degree / equivalent
qualification referred to the certificate
issued by the Principal/Registrar with at
least 50% marks (45% in case of candidates
belonging to SC/ST/PWD category). The deadline
for submission of the mark sheet and the certificate
is December 31, 2012. Non-fulfillment of this
condition will automatically result in the
cancellation of the provisional admission.
