Short-listing Criteria of Candidates for Group Discussion and Personal Interview
(GD & PI) for Admission to PGP 2010-12 Batch

The Admissions Committee met on several occasions beginning 21ST February, 2010. In its last meeting on February 26, 2010, the Committee finalized the following:
From the list of 1,93,824 candidates who have applied to RGIIM Shillong for admission, the committee has considered 33,753 candidates who are in the 60th percentile or better in each of the three sections in Common Admission Test (CAT) for short-listing. The committee then short-listed candidates for GD & PI in each of the following groups: Persons Differently Abled (PWD), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Scheduled Castes (SC), and Others including OBCs.

For this purpose, it has used marks in SSC (Xth standard), in HSC (XIIth Standard), in Bachelor Degree, and the percentile position in each section of the CAT. Since the
distributions of marks in Bachelor Degree in different disciplines differ from each other, the committee has standardized* the marks in Bachelor Degree within each disciplinary background.
