Hello Nidhan,

The EWS certificate is issued to those candidates who belong to the economically weaker sections of the society . The certificate is issued by the government organisations to provide some relaxation in cut offs.

So, coming to your question the date of issue for EWS certificate is 1st April , 2024 so according to the time frame of the jee application form . So you don't need to apply the EWS certificate now .

Instead there is a declaration form available in the jee site so you can fill the form and upload it during the jee application form.

On/After 1st April , 2024 you can issue the certificate.

The Common Admission Test (CAT) is one of the most important component to get admission in IIM Bangalore. In order to get admission in IIM Bangalore, you must obtain a good percentile in the CAT. There is no specific percentile stated by the institute which will give you a 100% guarantee to get a WATPI shortlist. Even scoring a high percentile in the CAT will not give you a guarantee to get an interview call as it depends upon various factors.

IIM Bangalore gives consideration to a number of factors while giving an interview call. These factors include CAT score, Class 10, Class 12, and Bachelor's degree marks, work experience, academic, and gender diversity, etc. Your first priority should be to clear both the overall percentile of 75 and sectional percentile of 70 in all three sections.

However, even if you score 95 percentile in the CAT , this will not mean that you will get a confirm Interview call. Therefore, the CAT score is not the only criteria but is one of the major criteria for admission.

The marks obtained by you in Class 10, Class 12, and Graduation, work experience, academic, and gender diversity will play a major role to get a shortlist for the WATPI process and during your final selection.
