Normally weight age given to WAT is 10% but it can vary. The scores given by all the interviewers in PI are averaged and the scores given for WAT by each interviewer are independently considered. The weight of PI is 20 in IIMB whereas it is 30 in IIML.

Hi guys, sorry if wrong forum to post this question, but I can see that this thread is super active at the moment.

I wish to apply for the IIMB EPGP program 2021 intake, but will also soon apply for my foreign passport (currently I'm an Indian citizen)
do you know if there's any separate quota or admission process for foreign passport holders (and/or international student)?

Thanks in advance!
