CAT 2024 RESULTS AND SHORTLISTING
Information related to the CAT 2024 results will be tentatively available starting from
the second week of January 2025 on this website. The list of candidates shortlisted
for the next level of selection will be made available on the website of the respective
IIMs. Each IIM will send interview letters to the shortlisted candidates directly. The
criteria for shortlisting vary across IIMs. Please visit the admission websites of the
respective IIMs for further information.
ADMISSION PROCESS
Please note that IIMs shortlist candidates for the interview stage based on their own
criteria, which may be independent of each other. The process may include Written
Ability Test (WAT), and Personal Interviews (PI). Performance in the CAT 2024
examination is an important component in the admission process. IIMs may
additionally use other factors such as the previous academic performance of the
candidates, relevant work experience, gender and academic diversity and other
similar inputs in shortlisting and ranking of candidates at various stages of the
admission process. The processes, academic cut-offs and the weights allocated to the
evaluation parameters may vary across IIMs. For more information, refer to the
admissions policies of individual IIMs on their respective websites.
ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION
If a candidate is shortlisted for interview by any IIM, he/she must comply with the
following eligibility verification:
Mark Sheets and Degree Certificate
A candidate must show all the mark sheets and submit attested copies to prove
his/her eligibility at the time of interview. Further, if a candidate is selected for a
programme, the original degree certificate and mark sheets of all semesters/years
along with their attested copies must be submitted for verification at the time of
joining the programme.
Reservation Category Requirements
If shortlisted for an interview, SC, ST, NC-OBC, EWS and PwD candidates must show
the original caste/class and/or disability certificate and submit a photocopy at the
time of the interview along with the submission requirements as specified in the
“Mark Sheets and Degree Certificate” section.
Candidates in the Final Year of Graduation
If shortlisted for an interview, candidates appearing for the final bachelor's degree or
equivalent qualification examination must show an original certificate from the
Principal/Registrar/Director of the University/Institution certifying that the candidate
has obtained 50% marks or equivalent (45% in case of candidates belonging to the
SC, ST and PwD category) based on the latest available grades/marks. He/she must
submit an attested copy of the original certificate at the time of the interview.
For the Post Graduate Programmes of IIMs, such candidates, if selected, will be
allowed to join the programme PROVISIONALLY, only if they submit a certificate from
the Principal/Registrar of their University/Institution (issued on or before the date as
stipulated by the respective IIM) stating that they have completed all the
requirements (the results may, however, be awaited) for obtaining the Bachelor’s
degree/equivalent qualification on the date of the issue of the certificate. Their
admission will be confirmed only when they submit the original mark sheet and
qualifying degree certificate of having passed the Bachelor's degree/equivalent
qualification referred to in the certificate issued by the Principal/Registrar of their
University/Institution. They must obtain at least 50% marks or equivalent (45% in the
case of candidates belonging to the SC, ST and PwD category). They must also submit
an attested copy of the mark sheets and qualifying degree certificate.
The deadline for submission of the qualifying degree/equivalent mark sheet and
certificate is December 31, 2025. NONFULFILLMENT OF THIS CONDITION WILL
AUTOMATICALLY RESULT IN THE CANCELLATION OF THE PROVISIONAL ADMISSION.
Provisional admission will also be cancelled if subsequently it is found that the
submitted certificate is incorrect.
