Anticipated Waitlist Movement for IIM CAP
The IIM colleges taking part in CAP will send out emails to waitlisted candidates with their waitlisted number as soon as the results are announced. When the waitlist shifts, these waitlisted numbers establish the student’s place in the line and determine their admission to the MBA program.
What is the IIM CAP Waitlist Process?
When some admitted candidates decide to reject the admission offer made to them by different CAP-participating IIMs, candidates can anticipate that the waitlist will shift. Typically, the college gives a deadline for the candidate to accept the offer. The admission offer automatically goes to the next person on the waitlist if the candidate declines.
Analysis of IIM CAP Waitlist Movement
It is essential to examine the IIM CAP waitlist movement in order to determine their realistic chances of converting to a specific IIM. The IIM CAP waitlist movement is announced in several rounds every year, usually lasting until July. Unlike lower-ranked IIMs, where the waitlist moves more quickly as a result of offer rejections and changing preferences, higher-ranked IIMs experience a slower waitlist movement because candidates are less likely to turn down those offers.
A few variables that may affect this year’s IIM CAP waitlist movement are listed below.
Factors Affecting the 2025 IIM CAP Waitlist Movement
CAP IIMs’ waitlist movement may be influenced by a number of factors. Among these are the following:
- The category-specific movement is impacted by the reservation quota.
- a number of seats available in a course.
- The number of applicants who revoked their acceptances.
- If a candidate has been accepted into more than one program, their preferences may change.
Movement of the IIM CAP Previous Year Waitlist
Although it is impossible to say for sure how the IIM CAP waitlist will move this year, candidates can get a sense of how each category is moving by looking at last year’s waitlist data.
| Category | Waitlist Movement (Range) |
| General (Gen) | 200-2000 |
| Economically Weaker Section (EWS) | 50 – 1800 |
| Non-Creamy Layer of Other Backward Classes (NC-OBC) | 20-200 |
| Scheduled Caste (SC) | 30 – 1500 |
| Scheduled Tribe (ST) | 30 – 350 |
| Persons with Disabilities (PwD) | 0-150 |
Conclusion of the IIM CAP Waitlist Movement 2025
In conclusion, on May 9, 2025, the IIM CAP results were announced. Students who will not be admitted can learn more about their chances of converting to the college by waiting for the additional waitlist information that is published by different CAP IIMs and sent to their emails. It is recommended that candidates periodically check their results using the official link. I wish every prospective candidate the best of luck.
