What is SAP 2024?
Supplementary Admission process or SAP 2024 is the final selection round for MBA admission 2024 in three baby IIMs – IIM Bodh Gaya, IIM Jammu and IIM Sirmaur. SAP will consist of PI round and will be conducted for the candidates who have not been shortlisted for IIM CAP round. These IIMs shortlist candidates for SAP round at a lower CAT cut off than it is applied for CAP round. CAT 2023 score is the sole criteria for SAP shortlisting.
Admission Committee of SAP Participating IIMs reduces the overall as well as section-wise minimum CAT cut off for all candidates to get the desired number of candidates. Since CAP cut offs are higher than the reduced cut off in SAP IIMs’ shortlisting process, there may be many candidates who have not qualified to participate in CAP 2024 process. For such candidates, these IIMs will conduct PI through separate Supplementary Admission Process (SAP). Registration process for SAP 2024 opens separately from January last week to mid February.
