Example total
Use your own marks56.4 / 100
An illustration of the evaluator’s weights. Not an IIM’s published cutoff.
CAT, XAT, or NMAT
Usually the largest share. A high overall percentile still fails if one section misses that IIM’s cutoff.
Class 10, 12, and graduation
Each marksheet is scored on its own. The college name is not what the form asks for.
Full-time work
Counted in months after graduation. Internships usually add nothing.
Diversity
Several IIMs add points for a non-engineering degree, and some add points for women.

IIM Ahmedabad
NIRF #1 · Ahmedabad
FMS Delhi
New Delhi
| ₹27.5L | Total fees | ₹2.43L |
|---|---|---|
| ₹35.5 LPA | Average CTC | ₹30.1 LPA |
| 1.3× | CTC ÷ fees | 12.4× |
Our take
FMS charges a small fraction of IIM Ahmedabad’s fee for average pay in a similar range, so it returns far more for the money. IIM Ahmedabad ranks higher and has the bigger brand.
XLRI Jamshedpur
NIRF #10 · Jamshedpur
MDI Gurgaon

Our take
XLRI pays more on average and is best known for HR. MDI costs a little less and is in Gurugram, close to Delhi NCR employers.
