IIM Kashipur to conduct Common Admission Process for 6 new IIMs
IIM Kashipur
IIM Kashipur is all set to conduct the Common Admission Process (CAP) 2016 for six Indian Institutes of Management – Kashipur, Raipur, Ranchi, Rohtak, Trichy and Udaipur.
IIM Kashipur will conduct the common Personal Interview (PI) and Written Ability Test (WAT) after CAT 2015 results are declared in the second week of January 2016.
Each year, the six IIMs conduct a common admission process. In 2014, IIM Udaipur had conducted the CAP while IIM Trichy conducted the entire process in 2013.
According to a notice on IIM Raipur’s website, “The six new IIMs (Kashipur, Raipur, Ranchi, Rohtak, Trichy and Udaipur) have decided to adopt a common process of WAT& PI to be coordinated this year by IIM Kashipur. In case any of the older IIMs (Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Indore, Kozhikode and Lucknow) are willing to share their WAT& PI scores with the six new IIMs, the common candidates who have applied to new IIMs, need not to appear for WAT& PI process separately, else they have to appear. The common candidates will be intimated the names of older IIMs sharing WAT & PI scores with new IIMs in due course of time.”
All required information, such as shortlist criteria, will be released by IIM Kashipur after CAT scores are available for download. In other words, we can assume that the entire details for CAP will be declared in after the second week of January.
As of now, there are 20 functional IIMs. Here’s a detailed look as to which institute (IIM) will conduct the admission for the newer IIMs.

CAT 2015 exam is all set to be held on November 29, 2015, in a total of two sessions.
Common Admission Process (CAP) 2016
Before CAP 2016 is conducted, IIM Kashipur will first shortlist candidates eligible for admission.
The six individual IIMs, participating in CAP, will first prepare a shortlist based on their admission criteria. The shortlists will be combined IIM Kashipur to create a pool of eligible candidates. IIM Kashipur is expected to call candidates 10-12 times of the proposed intake.
If the number of candidates shortlisted for new IIMs is lower than the expected number, the minimum cut-off percentile will be further reduced to shortlist more candidates.
In case any candidate is shortlisted by the older IIMs, he/she will not be called for CAP 2016. The candidate’s PI-WAT score will be obtained from the respective older IIMs from which they got the interview calls. For candidates with more than one older IIM call, the average PI-WAT score will be calculated.
As mentioned above, CAP will have two stages:
- Written Ability Test (WAT)
- (PI) Personal Interview
Post CAP 2016, each new IIM will release their own merit list of selected candidates, based on candidates’ performance in CAP and institute’s own shortlisting criteria.
The CAP 2016 rounds are proposed to be conducted at New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai and Kolkata.
