IIM Shortlist 2025: The IIMs have started releasing their first shortlists for the MBA/PGP admissions for the 2025-27 batch. Candidates who make it to the initial IIM shortlist 2025 need to attend the PI round at the allotted centre. New IIMs will conduct the CAT PI round.
Once IIMs release their shortlist, candidates must complete the registration process for PI round by visiting the official website of the particular IIM. Candidates can track their PI shortlist status by visiting the official IIM websites once the shortlists are made available. After conducting the GD/PI/WAT rounds, each IIM will release the final merit list based on candidates’ CAT scores, PI performance, and academic profile. Top IIMs typically set their CAT cut-off around the 94 percentile. However, the new IIMs have cut-offs ranging from 82 to 94 percentile.Category | VARC Percentile | DI LR Percentile | QA Percentile | Total Percentile |
