Prof Abhradeep Maiti, chairperson (Admissions) at IIM Kashipur, informed that CAP 2024 PI will be conducted in online mode to reduce the burden on the candidates from traveling to different cities to appear in MBA admission interviews.
Candidates will also be allowed to correct mistakes they might have made while filling in the CAT form under the educational qualification and work experience categories.
Additionally, the normalized PI scores will also be displayed to candidates after the merit lists are declared. After the PI round, the IIMs will display their merit list and will start sending admission offers.
