National, 18th Jan, 2024: The Common Admission Process (CAP) takes place every year for shortlisting and interviewing candidates for admission to the MBA/PGP programs of CAP-participating IIMs. Till last year, nine IIMs were part of this process. In 2024, with the addition of IIM Nagpur, the CAP group has increased to ten IIMs. IIM Kashipur is the CAP 2024 coordinator.
The CAP-participating IIMs announce a tentative cut-off for shortlisting candidates for Personal Interview (PI) every year in October, and the final cut-off is decided after the Common Admission Test (CAT) result is announced. This year, after the announcement of the CAT result, the following cut-offs were decided for shortlisting candidates for the PI process under CAP 2024.

The shortlisting for PI will be based on percentile cut-offs only. Those candidates will be shortlisted who have selected the flagship MBA/PGP programs in at least one of the CAP-participating IIMs (IIM Bodh Gaya, IIM Jammu, IIM Kashipur, IIM Nagpur, IIM Raipur, IIM Ranchi, IIM Sambalpur, IIM Sirmaur, IIM Tiruchirappalli, IIM Udaipur) while filling in the CAT form.
IIM Kashipur will start sending the PI shortlist notification emails in the second half of January. The PI registration portal will also open around the same time. All the shortlisted candidates need to register themselves on the PI registration portal to participate in the PI process. The registration process is mandatory for appearing in the PI process under CAP 2024.
Prof Abhradeep Maiti (Chairperson Admissions, IIM Kashipur) informed that to reduce the burden on the candidates from travelling to different cities while appearing for MBA admission interviews, CAP 2024 PI will be conducted in an online mode. To help the candidates further, they will be allowed to correct any mistakes they might have made while filling in the CAT form under the educational qualification and work experience categories. The normalized PI scores will also be displayed to candidates after the merit lists are declared.
Once the Personal Interview process is over, CAP-participating IIMs will create their individual merit list and will start sending admission offers.
