Understanding the Selection Criteria

IIM Shillong follows a multi-layered selection process that goes beyond just CAT scores. The final merit list for 2026 has been prepared using a weighted composite score. Here is the breakdown of the parameters used this year:

Parameter	Weightage
CAT 2025 Overall Score	40%
Personal Interview (PI)	40%
Application Rating Score (Academic Record)	10%
Gender Diversity	10%

Notably, the institute places a high value on the Personal Interview and communication proficiency. To be considered for the final merit list, candidates were required to meet minimum percentage cut-offs in their PI rounds, which vary by category.

Waitlist Movement: What to Expect

For those who find themselves on the waitlist, all is not lost. IIM Shillong usually sees significant waitlist movement as candidates often have multiple offers from other top B-schools like IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore, or Calcutta.

Historically, the waitlist movement for the General and NC-OBC categories has been active. The institute will release subsequent lists as and when selected candidates opt out or fail to confirm their seats by the fee payment deadline.

Next Steps for Selected Candidates

If you are among the lucky ones to receive an offer, the clock is ticking. Selected students must:

Accept the Offer: Log in and confirm your acceptance online.
Pay the Commitment Fee: A non-refundable seat-acceptance fee must be paid within the timeline mentioned in your offer letter (typically within a week).
Document Verification: Ensure all your original academic transcripts, category certificates, and work experience documents are ready for the final verification process.

Final Takeaway

The 2026-28 batch at IIM Shillong is shaping up to be highly competitive. With a 10% weightage given specifically to gender diversity and a heavy focus on the “quality” of candidates through PI scores, the “Campus in the Clouds” continues to maintain its reputation for a holistic and transparent selection process.
