Graduation marks: 20%
Work experience: 10%

Given the fact that I have not scored well in one of my board or graduation examinations and considering the high weightage given to academics by IMI, is it suggestible to apply here?

Yes, IMI does give high weightage to the academic scores. But as you can see 50% weightage is for the essay and GD/PI process. So bad scores in boards/graduation, if any, can be compensated by doing well in the essay and GD/PI process. You can go ahead and apply for IMI.

What are the test centers for the GD/PI process?

Besides Delhi, the selection process is normally conducted at other centers including Bangalore, Bhubaneshwar, Chandigarh, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Mumbai, Nagpur & Trivandrum.
