Next Steps After Results
After the CAT 2025 results are out, the IIMs and other participating business schools will begin their admission process. They will start shortlisting candidates for their MBA/PGDM programs for the 2026-28 batch . This shortlisting is based on the CAT 2025 cut-off scores.
Candidates who meet these cut-offs will be called for the next stages of the admission process. These stages usually include a Written Aptitude Test (WAT) and a Personal Interview (PI) round. Students must perform well in these rounds to secure a seat in their desired management program.
Students should regularly check the official IIM CAT website for the latest updates on results and the admission process.
