Raipur : The Joint Admission Process (JAP)
2026 is a collaborative admission initiative undertaken by the Indian Institute
of Management Kashipur, the Indian Institute of Management Raipur, the Indian
Institute of Management Ranchi, and the Indian Institute of Management
Tiruchirappalli. The process aims to bring greater uniformity, transparency,
and operational efficiency to the MBA admissions process through a
single-window application and evaluation framework.
Designed
to enhance ease of access for applicants while upholding rigorous academic and
selection standards, JAP 2026 facilitates a streamlined and standardised
approach to candidate evaluation across the participating institutes.
Following
the declaration of CAT 2025 results, the subsequent stages of the JAP 2026
admission cycle will be initiated in accordance with the common framework
approved by the participating IIMs. Candidates shortlisted based on the minimum
academic and CAT 2025–related eligibility criteria (to be announced shortly)
will be required to complete a mandatory registration through the JAP 2026
portal.
Prof. Sanjeev Prashar, Director– in–charge,
IIM Raipur said “We are honoured
that IIM Raipur has been entrusted with coordinating JAP 2026. This
collaborative initiative underscores our collective commitment to a transparent
and standardised admission process, ensuring that deserving candidates benefit
from a single, simplified gateway to multiple IIMs.”
The
final shortlisting of candidates for the Personal Interview will be determined
from the pool of registered candidates based on the further cut-off score (to
be announced later) for each category of candidates.
The
Personal Interview stage under JAP 2026 is tentatively planned for
February–March 2026. Detailed information regarding interview schedules,
shortlisting criteria, and related procedures will be communicated to
shortlisted candidates through official channels in due course.
IIM
Raipur is the coordinating institute for JAP 2026 and will oversee the conduct
of the joint admission process. The initiative reflects the participating
institutes’ commitment to ensuring a fair, transparent, and standardised
admission process.
Applicants
