What After CAT Toppers List?
Once the CAT 2025 results are declared, the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) will begin their next round of shortlisting. This process includes the Written Ability Test (WAT) and the Personal Interview (PI).
Each IIM sets its own minimum CAT cut-off score, which serves as the initial filter for selection. If your score meets or crosses that cut-off, you’ll need to submit an online form on the official website of the IIM you selected during your application.
It’s essential to complete this step before the deadline, as only then can you proceed with the admission process. Beyond your CAT score, the final selection also takes into account your academic performance in Class 10 and Class 12, making consistency across academics equally important.
