From all the eligible candidates who register with IIMK, a group of candidates will be shortlisted based on the Aggregate Index Score. This score is computer-generated and is based on the candidates' performance in CAT 2014, Class XII and Bachelor's degree performance and other traits relevant for management education.

All the above component scores will be combined to arrive at the Aggregate Index Score for each candidate. This score will be used to call eligible candidates in each category for the second stage of admissions.
