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 eligibility conditions mentioned:
a. AIM would automatically call for GD/Interview (without
the need to appear in ATMA) applicants who have been called
for final selection in any of the seven IIMs, on the basis
of their CAT scores.
b. Applicants who may have appeared in GMAT/GRE towards
the second half of 2008 and have scored reasonably well,
are exempted from written test. They have to produce scores
along with Application Form.
c. Applicants who have appeared in GATE/CSIR/ICSSRI/ICAR
fellowship examinations-proof of qualification to be provided.
d. UGC-JRF/NET tests-proof of clearing to be provided.
e. Any written test conducted by UPSC on all India basis
where the minimum qualification requirement is graduation,
i.e. CDS, Civil Service Preliminary Examinations etc. Proof
of clearing the examination required.
f. Any written test conducted by any Central Public Sector
Undertaking on all India basis for selection of graduates
as Officer Trainees. Call letter for final selection to
be provided.
g. Serving or retired officers of the Armed Forces and Paramilitary
Forces.
NOTE: Applicants, who want to take advantage of
the above scheme of SEEKING EXEMPTION FROM WRITTEN EXAMINATION,
should produce proof of the examinations they have appeared,
like GMAT/ GRE etc. along with their application. Wherever
such 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
FOR DEFENCE/PARAMILITARY PERSONNEL: Released Short Service/discharged
Commissioned (SSC) Officers or Serving Officers of the Defence
Services and Paramilitary Forces of the Government of India
would be directly considered for short listing for GD/Interview.

seats for foreign students or students who are sponsored
by an NRI. Such students must fill up the Institute Application
Form and clearly specify that they are applying under this
category. However, they shall have to appear in the ATMA.
