The Analytical Writing Test at IIM Ahmedabad is known to be more analytical in nature compared with the regular WATs conducted at other IIMs. In past years, topics have included evaluating arguments about homework policies or state education mandates, where candidates were expected to analyse assumptions, strengthen or weaken arguments, and present structured responses within a stipulated timeframe.

After the AWT, candidates have to undergo a Personal Interview with IIM Ahmedabad senior officials and faculty, which varies widely in style but typically includes questions about academic background, work experience, career goals, and current affairs.

Some interview panels have focused heavily on professional roles and logical problem-solving, while others have included open-ended or profile-specific questions. Reddit and candidate recounts highlight that while some interviews are structured and conversational, others may feel intense or unconventional, making preparation and composure especially important. Overall, candidates are often assessed not just on knowledge but on clarity of thought, logical reasoning, communication skills, and personal authenticity.
