IIM Bodh Gaya's Admission Committee will decide the number of candidates who would
be called for PA process on the basis of criteria prepared for each category. However, if
the actual number of short-listed candidates were 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 section-wise minimum score would be reduced (increased) to get the desired
number of candidates.
The 9 IIMs (IIM Bodhgaya, IIM Jammu, IIM Kashipur, IIM Raipur, IIM Ranchi, IIM
Sambalpur, IIM Sirmaur, IIM Trichy and IIM Udaipur) have decided to adopt a common
admission process (CAP 2020 process) of WAT & PI to be coordinated this year by IIM
Ranchi. The performance of the candidate in WAT & PI of CAP 2020 would be
considered for preparing the merit list.
