You must know that the Common Admission Process (CAP) is a unified selection procedure employed by ten newer Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) to streamline admissions into their MBA/PGP programs. This collaborative approach simplifies the selection process for both applicants and institutions.

The ten IIMs participating in CAP are:

• IIM Kashipur
• IIM Raipur
• IIM Ranchi
• IIM Tiruchirappalli (Trichy)
• IIM Udaipur
• IIM Nagpur
• IIM Bodh Gaya
• IIM Jammu
• IIM Sirmaur
• IIM Sambalpur 

CAP Process Overview:

• Shortlisting: When CAT result is announced, each participating IIM will release its individual shortlist based on specific CAT cut-offs and other criteria.
• Registration: Candidates who are shortlisted are invited to register for the CAP.
• Personal Interview (PI): The whole process for this online he CAP primarily involves a Personal Interview round. Notably, the Written Ability Test (WAT) has been excluded in recent years.
• Final Selection: Post-interview, each IIM independently evaluates candidates based on CAT scores, PI performance, academic records, work experience, and diversity factors to finalize admissions.

Key Dates for CAP 2025:

• CAP Registration: Expected to commence in the third week of January 2025.
• Personal Interview Rounds: Likely to be conducted online from the second week of February to the first week of March 2025. 

Important Considerations:

• Conducting IIM: Each year, one of the participating IIMs coordinates the CAP on a rotational basis. For instance, IIM Kashipur conducted CAP 2024.
• Individual Criteria: While the CAP streamlines the interview process, each IIM maintains its own criteria and weightages for final selection.
• Preparation: Candidates should prepare thoroughly for the Personal Interview, focusing on current affairs, personal background, and domain knowledge.
