CAT 2017 Result Soon; IIM Selection Procedure To Begin In February

New Delhi: Common Admission Test (CAT) 2017 was conducted on November 26, 2017. Approximately 2.31 lakh candidates who appeared in the exam are now awaiting their result. If reports by several media outlets are to be believed, then the CAT 2017 result is expected on January 5, 2018. However, the result by CAT 2017 is not the only step toward admission to an MBA program offered at IIMs and other institutes which accept CAT score for admission. 

The CAT 2017 results will be released on the official website which is iimcat.ac.in. This year the exam was conducted by IIM Lucknow. After the results are released, students who appeared in the exam could download their score card from the official website by logging in to their candidate's profile. 

The CAT score card is an important document which will be required at the time for further rounds of selection procedure. The IIMs conduct further rounds of selections and so do other management institutes. 

IIMs primarily conduct two rounds - Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI). While the old IIMs conduct their section process separately, the new IIMs conduct a Common Admission Process (CAP). 

Candidates are shortlisted for the WAT and PI rounds on the basis of their percentile in CAT exam. However, it is not the only criteria and a candidate's academic qualification, job experience etc.
