• IIM Rohtak
• IIM Trichy

• IIM Sambalpur
• IIM Kashipur
• IIM Amritsar
• IIM Raipur
• IIM Udaipur
• IIM Bodh Gaya

Although the admission platform will be the same, different IIMs will have different selection procedures and cutoffs. Candidates who have qualified CAT 2016 will have to appear for the Group Discussion (GD), Writing Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI). Some IIMs including IIM Rohtak will give preference to non-engineering and female candidates to maintain the diversity on their campus.

To learn more about the selection criteria, you can visit the official websites of these institutes. Students who have been shortlisted by the older IIMs will not have to appear for CAP as few of the older IIMs will share PA scores of candidates with IIM Rohtak.

The CAP-conducting institute will keep the other institutes posted about the results of the common admission procedure. IIM Kashipur had conducted CAP last year.
