Selection Criteria for IIM Kashipur in 2025
The 2025–2027 IIM Kashipur selection criteria have been made public. Candidates in the general category need to reach a 94 CAT qualifying cut-off percentile. The percentile is 40 for SC and PwD candidates, 60 for SC candidates, and 77 for NC-OBC candidates.
There are two stages to the IIM Kashipur admissions process. Making a shortlist of applicants who meet the minimal CAT cut-off requirements is the first step. The candidates who made the short list will have to participate in the Personal Interview (PI) round during phase two. A merit list will be produced following the PI round, taking into account the candidates’ performance in the PI as well as other factors. IIM Kashipur will choose the candidates through IIM CAP 2025.
IIM Kashipur’s PI round is scheduled for February–March 2025. An email with the PI’s date and location will be sent to the students who made the short list. To learn about the eligibility requirements for IIM Kashipur, read this blog.

To participate in the selection process, candidates must fill out the CAP 2025 form. This year, Bodh Gaya will conduct the CAP. The steps to finish the IIM Kashipur Shortlisting Process are listed below:
