IIM Jammu announces its admission policy after the CAT registration process starts and much before the release of CAT result. IIM Jammu participates in IIM Common Admission Process (CAP). As such IIM Jammu admission policy and cut offs can be modified as per the common requirement of CAP participating IIMs. IIM Jammu can also modify MBA selection criteria and cut-offs mentioned at any time till the actual MBA admission procedure for the batch is completed. The approach of IIM Jammu to prepare the admission list for its MBA programme is based on following points:

• Applying and Appearing in CAT Exam
   
• Short listing candidates for Personal Interview (PI) 
   
• The PI process will be common to IIMs which are participating in the Common Admission Process (CAP)
   
• For the last few years No Written Ability Test (WAT) is conducted in CAP round 
   
• In addition to participation in Common Admission Process, IIM Jammu conducts an additional Supplementary Admission Process (SAP) for candidates who meet IIM Jammu PI shortlisting criteria but do not meet the CAP cut off criteria. Supplementary Admission Process (SAP) is the PI round conducted by IIM Jammu and two other CAP participating third generation IIMs for the candidates who have not been shortlisted and have not been able to participate in Common Admission Process (CAP). The shortlisting criteria for SAP have a lower CAT cut off than applied for CAP round.
   
• Merit List is prepared based on CAT score, PI score and Profile score
