Everything you need to know about CAP 2026 preparation
IIM Common Admission Process (CAP) 2026 is a centralized PI/WAT round conducted for 4 IIMs: Bodh Gaya, Jammu, Sirmaur, and Udaipur. Candidates who meet the cutoff percentile are called for a single interview that counts for all participating IIMs. Note: Kashipur, Nagpur, Ranchi, and Trichy have opted out of CAP for 2026.
For General category, the CAP cutoff is 95 percentile. Other categories: EWS (81), NC-OBC (77), SC (60), ST (40), PwD (40). Meeting the cutoff doesn't guarantee a call - IIMs also consider sectional percentiles (VARC/DILR/QA at 75/50/44 for Gen/OBC/SC respectively) and academic diversity.
CAP 2026 interviews are expected to be scheduled from February to March 2026 (exact dates to be announced by IIM Bodh Gaya). The exact date depends on your application and will be communicated via email. WAT (Written Ability Test) is conducted before the Personal Interview on the same day.
ChatGPT gives generic answers for everyone. Rehearsal's DeepProbe™ creates questions from YOUR resume, challenges weak answers with follow-ups, and simulates real panel behavior. It's like having 4 different IIM interviewers practice with you, not a chatbot.
Yes! While CAP is one interview for 4 IIMs, each IIM has different cultures. Rehearsal lets you practice school-specific scenarios tailored to each participating IIM's focus areas and interview styles.
