IIM Ahmedabad Revises MBA Admissions for 2027–29 Batch
IIM Ahmedabad has changed part of its process for choosing students for its MBA programme.
The change is for students applying to the 2027–29 batch.
The programme lasts two years.
The institute will use applicants’ CAT 2026 percentiles when making a shortlist.
The shortlist is for the next steps, called the Analytical Writing Test and Personal Interview.
Before, the institute used a normalized CAT score for this shortlist.
The article does not say exactly how much weight the CAT result will have.
