Dear CAT Aspirants IIM Kashipur, IIM Raipur, IIM Ranchi & IIM Trichy have jointly introduced Joint Admission Process 2026 for the MBA admission process 2026. IIM Raipur will coordinate JAP 2026, overseeing the centralized admission process for all four participating IIMs. admissions under JAP 2026 will be based on CAT percentile, academic performance, work experience, and diversity considerations. Final weightages and cut-offs will be determined after joint consultations among the participating IIMs and communicated to applicants in due course. Eligibility criteria are expected to be consistent with previous cycles, with adjustments aimed at expanding access to qualified candidates.
Previously these institutes were a part of the CAP counselling process but from 2026 they will be conducting it separately giving the students an added advantage of getting their seats confirmed at their dream institutions.
Along with IIMs, you should also need to focus on colleges which are equally important as IIMs; like SP Jain, MDI Gurgaon, IIFT
