The admission process of IIM Jammu consists of:
- CAT Examination

- In addition to the Common Admission Process as mentioned, IIM Jammu will conduct an additional Supplementary Admission Process (SAP 2024) for candidates who meet IIM Jammu PI shortlisting criteria but do not meet the CAP 2024 cut off criteria.
- Preparing the Merit List based on CAT, PI, and Profile scores are indicated in the following tables.
- Last date for withdrawal of Provisional admission offer and refund of Fee Paid: 05:30 PM, June 25th, 2024 (Tentative date)
1. Criteria for PI Shortlisting
The cut-off percentile marks for shortlisting for Personal Interview (PI) process in the three sections and the total CAT percentile for different categories of students are given below:
| Category | Gender | Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension Percentile | Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning Percentile | Quantitative Ability Percentile | Overall Percentile |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| General | Male | 72 | 72 | 72 | 91 |
| Female | 71 | 71 | 71 | 89 | |
| Transgender | 71 | 71 | 71 | 89 | |
| EWS | Male | 48 | 48 | 48 | 74 |
| Female | 47 | 47 | 47 | 72 | |
| Transgender | 47 | 47 | 47 | 72 | |
| NC-OBC | Male | 48 | 48 | 48 | 74 |
| Female | 47 | 47 | 47 | 72 | |
| Transgender | 47 | 47 | 47 | 72 | |
| SC | Male | 42 | 42 | 42 | 54 |
| Female | 41 | 41 | 41 | 52 | |
| Transgender | 41 | 41 | 41 | 52 | |
| ST | Male | 24 | 24 | 29 | 32 |
| Female | 23 | 23 | 28 | 30 | |
| Transgender | 23 | 23 | 28 | 30 | |
| PwD | Male | 24 | 24 | 29 | 32 |
| Female | 23 | 23 | 28 | 30 | |
| Transgender | 23 | 23 | 28 | 30 |
*The cut-off can be higher/lower than the tabulated numbers after the declaration of CAT 2023 result.
IIM Jammu's Admission Committee will decide the number of candidates who would be called for the Personal Interview (PI) process based on criteria prepared for each category. However, if the actual number of short-listed candidates were found to be less (more) than the required number of candidates to be called for PI category-wise, then the overall as well as section-wise minimum score would be reduced (increased) to get the desired number of candidates.
* In case of female candidates under the general category, the overall cut-off percentile marks for eligibility for Personal Interview (PI) process is greater or equal to 85 with sectional cut-offs of 75 percentile. However, getting an overall CAT percentile of greater or equal to 85 does not automatically guarantee a call for Personal Interview (PI) process. Within this pool of eligible candidates, the final list of candidates to be called for Personal Interview (PI) process will be decided strictly based on order of merit and as per the requirements of IIM Jammu.
