KJSIM's weights for the 2027–29 MBA on its merit route. The call to the Problem Situation Analysis, interview (in person, in several cities) and the online Written Ability Test comes from clearing KJSIM's own CAT, XAT, GMAT, NMAT or CMAT cut-offs, which it does not publish. Applicants who miss them are considered on profile instead: a consistent record in Class X, XII and the degree, 12 to 42 months of paid full-time work after graduation, and a valid score. Those called on profile are scored with the entrance test at 15 and the interview at 40; the other weights are unchanged.
