However, if the actual number of short-listed candidates is found to be less (more) than the required number of candidates to be called for WAT & PI category-wise, then the overall, as well as the section-wise minimum score, would be reduced (increased) to get the desired number of candidates. The IIMs who are participating in the CAP have decided to adopt a common admission process (CAP 2019 process) of WAT & PI to be coordinated this year by IIM Ranchi. The scores obtained by the candidate in WAT & PI of CAP 2019 would be considered for preparing the merit list." - IIM Udaipur Official Website
