The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Lucknow has made a significant update regarding its MBA admissions process for the batch of 2024. In a recent announcement, IIM Lucknow revealed that it will assign 40% weightage to the Personal Interview (PI) stage for candidate selection. This decision aims to place greater emphasis on assessing candidates' communication skills, personality, and overall fit for the rigorous MBA program.
This change comes as part of IIM Lucknow’s continuous efforts to enhance the quality of its admission process, making the PI an integral part of the final evaluation. Candidates who are appearing for CAT 2024 and targeting IIM Lucknow should focus on excelling in the interview stage, as it will now contribute significantly to the final selection criteria.
Apart from the PI, IIM Lucknow will also continue to consider CAT scores, academic performance, work experience, and other factors as part of its selection process. However, the 40% weightage to the PI reflects a shift in the approach, aiming to identify candidates who not only have strong academic backgrounds but also possess the qualities necessary for leadership roles in the future.
The CAT 2024 exam is scheduled for later this year, and candidates must keep an eye on further updates regarding the exam pattern, syllabus, and admission guidelines. It is important for all aspirants to prepare thoroughly for both the written examination and the Personal Interview to ensure a strong application to IIM Lucknow.
Candidates are encouraged to visit the official IIM Lucknow website for detailed information regarding the MBA admission process and to stay updated on any further announcements.
