Composite Score Components Breakdown

Breakdown analysis of the components of the composite score is as follows:

  • Personal Interview: - The marks to the candidate will be awarded out of 20. The criteria of the performance is undisclosed and stays at the discretion of the interviewing body.
  • Scaled CAT Score: - IIM Sirmaur gives highest weightage to the DILR Score (40%), followed by VARC Score (40%) and the weightage to the Quantitative Aptitude Score is the lowest (20%). Hence, the students are advised to score well in both the DILR and VARC section. The Scaled CAT score is calculated by using their formula which normally is your CAT Score divided by the highest CAT Score with a multiplication factor designed by accommodating the above mentioned segregation.
  • 12th Score: - 
Percentage in 12th class Score Awarded
If percentage < 45 Ineligible
If percentage < 75 0
If 75 < percentage < 85 1
If 85 < percentage < 95 2
If percentage > 95 4
  • 10th Score: - 
Percentage in 10th class Score Awarded
If percentage < 45 Ineligible
If percentage < 75 0
If 75 < percentage < 85 1
If 85 < percentage < 95 2
If percentage > 95 3
  • Graduation Score: - 
Percentage in Graduation Score Awarded
If percentage < 50 Ineligible
If percentage < 60 0
If 60 < percentage < 70 3
If 70 < percentage < 80 6
If 80 < percentage < 90 7
If percentage > 90 8

The above mentioned table is common for all the three processes. However, for the Tourism Management candidates, a multiplication factor is used for diversity which gets multiplied to the scores secured by the students based on their graduation percentage.

Multiplication Factor = 1 (If the graduation degree is in the Tourism Domain)

Multiplication Factor = 0.8 (If the graduation degree is in any domain other than Tourism)

For Example: - If a student secured 85% in his graduation degree, then, 

  1. If the degree is in Tourism, the score awarded would be - 7
  2. If the degree is in domain other than Tourism, the score awarded would be - 7*0.8 = 5.6

(All the scores will be normalized for different education boards or universities)

  • Work Experience: - 
Marks awarded based on the number of months of full-time work experience
Number of months CAP Round Candidates SAP Round Candidates Tourism PI Candidates
< 12 Months 0 0 0
12 - 17 Months 4 10 10
>17 - 23 Months 8 15 15
>23 - 35 Months 10 20 20
>35 - 41 Months 6 15 15
>41 - 53 Months 3 10 10
> 53 Months 1 0 0

(The scores will be normalized and for CAP round candidates, if the tidal full-time work experience is > 48 Months, the score awarded will be 0)

  • Gender Diversity: - For both CAP round and Tourism Interviews
  • Female/Transgender - 5
  • Male - 0
  • Trailblazer Score: - It corresponds to a special weightage given to candidates on the following four parameters: -
  1. Prior full-time work experience for a minimum of 2-Years in an NGO or as a Medical Doctor or as an Entrepreneur.

Key Insights on IIM Sirmaur 2023 placements

  • IIM Sirmaur has reduced its dependence on new recruiters from over 90 in 2022 to around 65 in 2023. As the college becomes more prominent and established, it is likely that this reliance on new recruiters will eventually reduce further and older companies will become loyal and legacy recruiters like in the case of more established IIMs. Aspirants and students can take advantage of a more predictable nature of placements as far as the recruiters’ list is concerned in the future.
  • It is also interesting to note the remarkable increase in the PPOs count at IIM Sirmaur. In 2022 just 2 students were offered PPOs while in 2023 it increased to 13. The number of PPOs has been over 40 this year for the batch of 2024. If this trend continues, one can see IIM Sirmaur having over 20% students receiving PPOs, however this is still not close to what older established B-Schools offer. 
  • IIM Sirmaur saw a massive jump in the highest CTC for the batch of 2023. The CTC of 64.12 LPA was offered by Tolaram Group (International Placement). This year however in 2024 the highest CTC till now has been just 32.5 LPA by Amazon. This is a decline of around 100% from the previous year. 
  • There isn't a fixed pattern at IIM Sirmaur in terms of the sectors picking up the most number of students. While in 2022 IT and ITES sector emerged as the most dominant one, it was replaced by BFSI in 2023 and it is most likely to be replaced again by Sales and Marketing for 2024. This does not allow us to tag IIM Sirmaur as a sector specialist for any of the sectors. 
  • IIM Sirmaur has seen a rise in International roles in 2024 as compared to previous years. 3 companies have already offered international roles to the students in 2024.

IIM Sirmaur has been consistent in placing maximum number of students in the Sales and Marketing domain irrespective of the sector. Despite having an 100% increase in the number of recruiters, Sales and Marketing is still the most preferred choice of the students for summer placements. There has been a shift in the most preferred sector however from EdTech in 2022 to BFSI in 2023 and 2024. The same pattern can be seen in the final placement of 2023 as well where BFSI emerged as the most dominant sector. 

See what existing students have to say about IIM Sirmaur placements

“Both Summer Placements and Final Placements are provided by the Institute. Being a third-generation IIM, Jobs offered at IIM Sr are as lucrative as other IIMs, but the Institute is progressing fairly well in this area. Prominent recruiters are coming to campus for recruitment. Majority of Batch got placed in BFSI sector. the last year average placement is 15 Lakh and the highest international package is 60 lakh” 

  • Jaydeep (Batch of 2025, MBA Core)

  • Shubhajit (Batch of 2025, MBA - TM) 

“Placements are the best amongst all 3rd gen IIMs, be it SIPs or Final Placements. Likes of Paytm and Amazon are on campus and the numbers are also very promising. The placecom here does not gets involved in any unfair and dirty games and i can vouch for that. Theyll never ask you to opt out forcefully just to make their numbers good”

  • Ashwin (Batch of 2025, MBA Core)

IIM Sirmaur Batch Profile 

IIM Sirmaur’s batch strength for the current batch of 2023-2025 is 309 students including both the courses of MBA Core and TM. Out of this a staggering 85% students are freshers. 

IIM Sirmaur Batch Profile

This is not just a chance but a strategic decision of IIM Sirmaur to prefer more freshers over work experience students. Even amongst the 15% students who had work experience, preference was given to those who had less than 24 months of work experience. As per the official summer placement report of IIM Sirmaur for the batch of 2025, the decision of having more freshers was a deliberate decision to counter the slowdown in the market keeping the ROI for freshers high. 

This however will certainly impact the overall diversity of the batch and peer learning experience. 

IIM Sirmaur has, however, maintained a good diversity in terms of educational background. With over 50% students coming from BCom and BBA backgrounds, IIM Sirmaur has broken the usual notion of MBA classrooms being heavily dominated by engineering students. The representation of technical and science related background students is decent enough at 35% with nearly 28% of the batch comprising female students.

Security is up to mark in all the hostels; on average, 2-3 guards are available, and CCTV Cameras protect gates. Students can bring their Vehicles to the hostels, and parking facilities are available. Girls can enter the boys' hostel from morning to evening to encourage co-ed and diverse educational sessions. Bus facilities are available for students who reside in these hostels, and buses are arranged for students from morning to late at night to provide good connectivity between the academic block and the hostels.

Are the six newest IIMs a good option? (i.e., IIM Nagpur, Vizag, Amritsar, Sirmaur, Bodhgaya, Sambalpur)

Rishikesh Kumar
Pratik ParikhLives in Bangalore

I wouldn’t suggest you take admission to any new IIM if you are not ready to commit yourself to hard work both in terms of academics and extracurriculars. The Baby IIMs require determination and dedication and if you lack any of these, it’s better to look for other options.

The opportunities offered by the new IIMs are way ahead and unique when compared to the older ones. You shouldn’t join a new IIM merry to enjoy the benefits from the IIM tag because that alone won’t suffice it. It's better to take a drop year and target an older IIM than go for a new one that is yet to make its mark in the industry.

The new IIMs are suitable for those who are ready to work and toil and take advantage of opportunities in building a new institute. Most students will end up with a job but it’s not a brainer that there will be a big compromise and namesake job compared to the colorful careers an IIM brand promises.

Which college is better IIM Sirmaur or IIM Bodhgaya?

Amit SharmaFormer PGP-II student at Indian Institute of Management Sirmaur (2016–2018)

Compare the summer and final placement reports of both batches for all the 3 years. Look up the student clubs and activities on both campuses. They are absolutely necessary for your 2 years there. Finally, look up the professors in both colleges, majorly for the subject, you will probably be specializing in. Good professors impart their experience along with education. Keep in mind that IIM Bodhgaya, however, lags behind in one vital factor i.e., the number of students. In all probability, the students in the upcoming batch (your would-be batch) in Sirmaur will be more than if you were in Bodhgaya. A healthy amount of interaction matters a lot, especially because it's a business school and you benefit from the range of ideas numbers can provide. 

However, the final decision is up to you entirely. Assign weights to the above factors and decide accordingly. After taking the decision, do not second guess your choice after going into one of the colleges. Make the best of your time there. Chase excellence in every facet of your MBA while you are there. If you do this, the choice part will cease to matter in a few months.

What is the international immersion program at IIM Sirmaur?

Kushal MotwaniP.G.D.M in Master of Business Administration Degrees, Indian Institute of Management Indore (Graduated 2014)

This program recently initiated by IIM Sirmaur targets students who want International Exposure. It’s actually a rich blend of the IIM curriculum and added exposure to international business practices, strategic operations management, and current issues in the European markets.

The duration of the program is 1 month. The pedagogy comprises industry visits and weekend trips which facilitate classroom learning and help the students comprehend the context better.

For a better understanding, let me narrate my sister's experience. She flew to Milan, the fashion capital of the world. On the weekdays the entire focus was given to studying at SDA Bocconi and weekends were a getaway for traveling and exploring. She describes the teaching method as spectacular. The faculty was very experienced and highly learned and taught them to find the solutions to the toughest problem in the simplest and most systematic way. The industry visit to Ferrari and Maserati was the cherry on the cake. She was also able to explore Europe's famous places like Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, Lugano Lake, Mont Brie, Genova, etc., and the marvelous architecture of Rome, Florence, and Pisa.

All in all, she claims that the experience of IIP broadened her mindset and perspective to see things from different dimensions. It provided a sense of self-development and made her realize that the world is filled with unlimited opportunities.

    Dear Akash, the institute released its results along with the rest of the CAP IIMs. However, the institute server went down that. The merit list is available on the website now. You can checkout the important dates of the merit list declaration on their IIM Sirmaur admission portal.

Is IIM Sirmaur permanent campus ready?
S
Satyam Purwar

The permanent campus of IIM Sirmaur is ready to move in but will continue to remain under construction, and the 210-acre campus will be fully ready with all the amenities by the next 4–5 years. The important buildings like hostels, faculty quarters, academic blocks, and the Mess building have become operational, and the current 2nd year and the incoming batch of 2024–26 will spend and enjoy their MBA journey on a newly built IIM Sirmaur permanent campus surrounded by lush green mountains in a beautiful valley.

What is the batch size at IIM Sirmaur?
S
Satyam Purwar

The current batch size of IIM Sirmaur is around 309 as per the latest Summer Internship Report released by the institute for the batch of 2023-25Out of these 309 students, although there is no such bifurcation of the Tourism students mentioned by the institute in the report, it is expected that around 50 students are from the Tourism Management Programme. Looking at the past trends and the institute shifting its operations completely to the newly built permanent campus, it is expected that the total batch strength for the batch of 2024-26 will be around 320+. IIM Sirmaur has already declared its results a few days ago and the students can expect significant waitlist movement in the coming days.

I earn 7LPA already. Should I quit my job and join IIM Sirmaur or should I reattempt CAT?

S
Satyam Purwar

If you have less than one year of work experience, I would advise taking the CAT exam again because most B-schools provide the highest scores to applicants with between 24 and 36 months of job experience. It would be far more likely for you to convert to a better B-school at the same percentile, and your present package might increase as well. However, if you have more than four years of work experience, consider taking the GMAT and enrolling in one of the top executive MBA programs offered by IIM A or B. An EMBA program's sole drawback is that students' odds of switching to a new field from their prior career are very low. Students already working in a corporation are usually not recommended to join a lower-tier college unless they are extremely sure that the CAT percentile they scored was the best they could have gotten. If this is your best and you are sure that you will not see a rise in your percentile the next year, as well as you are looking for a 2-year MBA program, then IIM Sirmaur is a decent choice.

What is the IIM Sirmaur waitlist movement for 2024?

S
Satyam Purwar

As per the RTI data of 2023, 4461 students were given the admission offer in the general category. Although the data for merit list-wise waitlist movement is not available, a general thumb of rule is that since IIM Sirmaur has a batch size of 301 students and has almost 104 seats for the General Category, the waitlist would at least move by 2000 - 3000 places. Similarly, if we follow the rule for other categories, the total waitlist movement of EWS, OBC, SC and ST would be around 500 - 600, 1500 - 2000, 700 - 1200 and 400 - 500 respectively.

Do I have to register for Tourism Management Programme separately?

S
Satyam Purwar

No, you don’t have to register for the Tourism Programme separately. Yes, the interview process happens separately but each student is required to just tick mark the Tourism MBA programme from the list provided by the IIMCAT during the CAT form filling. The fee structure will remain the same as the core MBA programme, but the overall CAT cutoffs will be lower and around 80%ile overall for the general category.
