As per a press release, this year there will be 10 IIMs taking part in the process with the addition of IIM Nagpur. For the admission process, the CAP-participating IIMs announce a tentative cut-off for shortlisting candidates for Personal Interview (PI) every year in October, while the final cut-off is decided after the Common Admission Test (CAT) result is announced.

As for CAP 2024, the following cut-offs were decided for shortlisting candidates for the PI process. The shortlisting will be based on percentile cut-offs only:

CAP-2024 Total Cut-off Percentiles & Sectional Cut-off Percentiles for PI Shortlisting
Category	VARC	DILR	QA	Total
GEN	73	73	73	94
EWS	50	50	50	77
NC-OBC	50	50	50	77
SC	44	44	44	60
ST	25	25	30	40
DAP	25	25	30	40

The candidates will be shortlisted if they have selected the flagship MBA/PGP programs in at least one of the 10 CAP-participating IIMs while filling in the CAT form.

IIM Kashipur, which is the coordinator of CAP 2024, will start sending the PI shortlist notification emails in the second half of January.

Prof Abhradeep Maiti, chairperson (Admissions) at IIM Kashipur, informed that CAP 2024 PI will be conducted in online mode to reduce the burden on the candidates from traveling to different cities to appear in MBA admission interviews.

Candidates will also be allowed to correct mistakes they might have made while filling in the CAT form under the educational qualification and work experience categories.

Additionally, the normalized PI scores will also be displayed to candidates after the merit lists are declared. After the PI round, the IIMs will display their merit list and will start sending admission offers.
