IIM Tiruchirappalli announces its admission policy after the CAT registration process starts and much before the release of CAT result. Since IIM Trichy participates in IIM Common Admission Process (CAP) the admission policy and cut offs can be modified as per the requirement of CAP participation process. IIM Trichy 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 Trichy to prepare the admission list for its MBA programme is based on following points. The MBA admission process at IIM Tiruchirappalli consists of:

• 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)
   
• Written Ability Test may also be conducted during CAP round. However, For the last few years No Written Ability Test (WAT) is conducted
   
• Merit List is prepared based on CAT score, PI score and Profile score
