Following the release of the CAT 2025 results, the Indian Institutes of Management will begin the shortlisting process for the next stages of admission. Shortlisting is based on CAT scores along with other eligibility criteria set by individual IIMs. These may include academic record, work experience, diversity factors and previous academic performance.

Candidates who meet the required cut-offs will be called for further selection rounds, which may include a Personal Interview, Group Discussion and/or Written Ability Test.
