In case any of the older IIMs (Bangalore, Calcutta, Indore,Kozhikode, and Lucknow) are willing to share their WA & PI score with the 9 IIMs, the common candidates who have applied to new IIMs, need not to appear for WA & PI process separately, else they have to appear.

However, in case any of the six older IIMs (Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Indore, Kozhikode and Lucknow) are willing to share their PA scores with the six new IIMs, wherever IIM Rohtaks (and other five new IIMs) shortlist is common with the sharing older IIMs, the common candidates will not be required to appear for PA process separately with IIM Rohtak (and five other new IIMs). The common candidates will be intimated in due course of time, on the names of older IIMs sharing PA scores with IIM Rohtak (and five other new IIMs).

7 key steps in CAP 2017
Common Admission Process 2017 is although conducted by IIM Rohtak, the 9 participating IIMs will have a key role to play in shortlisting the candidates and generating the final admission offer for PGP 2017-19
Step-1: Shortlist by Individual IIMs
Each of the 9 IIMs will shortlist the candidates for CAP 2017 round independent of each other. It is expected that the candidates will be shortlisted at the 1st stage around 10 to 12 times of the intake for batch 2017-19 by each IIM. It may create the multiplicity of calls for the same candidate if he/she meets the shortlisting criteria of the each IIM.
Step-2: Shortlist sent to CAP 2017 coordinating IIM Rohtak
Each CAP participating IIM will then forward its list of shortlisted candidates to the CAP 2017 coordinating IIM Rohtak, who will further coordinate it with the lists of other IIMs to prepare the common list of shortlisted candidates for CAP round.
Step-3: Shortlisted candidates getting call for CAP 2017
All the shortlisted candidates will be able to check their CAP 2017 call status at IIM Rohtak website along with the names of the IIMs who have shortlisted them for CAP 2017 round.
Step-4: Participate in PI-WAT in CAP 2017
On getting the call to participate in CAP 2017 at the preferred centre out of the 5 CAP centres, the candidate will have to participate in CAP round on the scheduled date. In case of any change, the candidate will have to advise the IIM Rohtak to get other time slot, date, or centre well in advance.
Step-5: CAP 2017 Merit list sent to Individual IIM
The CAP 2017 conducting IIM Rohtak will send the merit list of candidate to all the participating IIMs after CAP round is over to take the call.
Step-6: 9 IIMs to prepare their own merit list
After assigning weights to other components of final selection round like academics, work experience, diversity, the IIMs will need to individually prepare the final merit list as per the weights assigned for different components.
Step-7: Generate final admission offer
The candidate will come to know about the final admission offer by the individual IIM. Each IIM has its own final selection components like academics, diversity, work experience among others. It is very much possible that one of the new IIMs may not send you final admission offer while others offer you admission based on your CAT 2016 scores and other parameters.
Usually candidates are apprehensive of getting a tough time during CAP round. But IIM Rohtak proposes to turn it into a different and stress free experience by making it more smooth. IIM Rohtak has taken extra care to make the process as smooth as possible for the candidates and the participating institutes.
