The details are mentioned in the following sections.

3.1. Stages in the process

  • Stage 1: Candidates who had indicated their interest in IIM Nagpur at the time of filling CAT application forms will be first screened for eligibility as per the CAT cut-offs mentioned in Stage 1 of the process. Candidates who clear the CAT cut-off would then be asked to re-confirm their interest in IIM Nagpur.
  • Stage 2: Candidates who meet the CAT cut-offs and have reconfirmed their interest in IIM Nagpur will move to Stage 2, where Comprehensive Score (CS) will be calculated for all such candidates. A CS-based shortlist will be generated to call candidates for Stage 3 – Personal Interview (PI) and Written Ability Test (WAT). Candidates who are shortlisted for PI/WAT will be required to fill a detailed application form before appearing for the interview.
  • Stage 3: Candidates who appear for the PI/WAT will be considered for this stage, where the Final Score (FS) will be calculated. Admission offers will be sent to the candidates based on their FS.
