DoMS's composite score for the 2026–28 batch (CAT 2025). Marks go by slab: work experience scores most at 24–36 months, gender-diversity marks go to women and academic-diversity marks to non-engineers. IIT graduates with a CGPA of 8 or more are called without CAT; NRI applicants are shortlisted on GMAT. DoMS's overall score for 2026–28 carries the composite score over at 50% — split here by the composite's own weights — and adds the personal interview (40%) and a reflective written assessment (10%).
