IIM Lucknow has several management courses such as Postgraduate, Executive PGP, and Fellow Programs. For acquiring admission to the PGP course, the institute organizes WAT (Written Ability Tests), and it is followed by PI (Personal Interviews) in February. Candidates are said to be shortlisted based on the CAT scores secured by them, and this is expected to have an overall cut-off of 90 and sectional cut-off of 85.
Most of the courses demand entrance exams like CAT , GMAT , GRE, GATE or JRF. Are you applying for executive courses but these exams have not been taken? If so, you are eligible to sit for the PGPWE Entrance Exam given by IIM Lucknow. Exam results, WAT, PI, and your educational and professional background all play a part in the final decision.
