Exemption from Written Test: Building upon its tradition
of sensitivity and responsiveness, AIM has made it less
burdensome for applicants by pioneering the process of accepting
the results of the following examinations in lieu of ATMA.
Such students need NOT appear in the written test and would
be considered for GD and interview directly if they fulfill
the conditions mentioned:
AIM will also accept CAT/MAT/XAT scores for exams held
after the month of September. However, AIM will reserve
the right to determine the cutoff score in these examinations
for calling candidates for GD/Interview.
In case of CAT, applicants who have been called for final
selection in any of the six IIMs, would automatically be
called for GD/Interview.
GMAT/GRE towards the second half of an academic year and
have scored reasonably well. To produce scores.
GATE/CSIR/ICSSRI/ICAR fellowship examinations - proof of
qualification to be provided.
UGC-JRF/NET tests -proof of clearing to be provided.

the minimum qualification requirement is graduation, i.e.
CDS, Civil Service Preliminary Examinations etc. Proof of
clearing the examination required.

scores are not available, e.g. CAT, CDS examination, candidates
should be able to provide proof of their clearing the examinations
by submitting copies of call letters for the next stage
of selection. It is, however, clarified that AIM reserves
the right to make its own judgment in evaluating such applicants
for calling them directly for Group Discussion (GD) and
the Final Interview. Mere clearance of the above mentioned
tests or being called for subsequent selection process would
not automatically render applicants eligible for group discussions
and interview. Also, such applicants must fulfill the eligibility
criteria in their graduation/post graduation.

Commissioned (SSC) officers or serving officers of the Defence
Services and para-military forces of the Government of India
