How WAT is Evaluated: Inside the IIM Scoring System (2025 Guide)
Evaluators spend only 4-6 seconds on their first scan to sort your essay into Top, Average, or Bottom piles. Your first three lines determine everything. This guide reveals the exact evaluation criteria IIM faculty use—Content Quality (30-40%), Structure (25-30%), Language (20-25%), and Critical Thinking (15-20%)—along with insider insights from marking rooms, common WAT mistakes that trigger instant rejection, and what actually impresses evaluators enough to award 9+/10 scores.
