Another good news for b-school aspirants, admission to the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Nagpur will be done solely on the basis of CAT scores. The institute has scrapped Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) from the standard selection procedure.
Candidates who had applied for the institute during the application process will receive the letter of admission on the registered e-mail ID if they have cleared the cut-off set by the institute. Candidates will have to accept the letter in order to secure a seat.
