B-School shortlisting criteria have been getting complex over the years and this year has been no different. So here is an attempt to try and figure out the criteria of diff B-Schools and create a repository of sorts so that it will help future aspirants before hand whether they should apply to a particular B-School or not. Example if XYZ institute does not call anyone who has scored below 65 in graduation irrespective of their scores in the entrance exam then it makes no sense for a person with 55 in grad to spend almost 1.5k bucks in applying to the college.

Please keep this thread only for listing the criteria in the format specified below. For discussions on the criteria please visit this thread:

All post which do not follow the format specified here will be deleted.

Attachments also can uploaded to the post in case some official document is released by the institute providing information about the short listing process. but please try to be neutral in posting the criteria. Do not get emotional and try to dissect the process or try to prove how wrong it is. Let each reader decide for himself how good/bad the process is for him/her

So lets do this for the next generation puys and of course for also those who would have to reapply next year! I would try to upload the criteria for as many B-Schools as possible. But would require lots of co-operation from all the puys for the same. So the house is open. Please do the honours
