CAT TO OFFER 560 NEW IIM SEATS THIS YEAR

  • Sources from HRD ministry confirm CAT committe has been asked to add 560 more seats at IIMs for aspirants this year
  • CAT Cabinet approved 4 new IIMs in August at Tiruchirappalli (Tamil Nadu), Ranchi (Jharkhand), Raipur (Chhattisgarh) and Rohtak (Haryana), but the institutes are yet to be established.
  • New IIM shall admit 140 students each.
  • Some IIM directors have objected, saying these many seats will be too much for a new institute to manage.

  • “The older IIMs will help the new institutes decide the content of the academic courses, but only after the new directors are appointed,” said a government official.
  • The ministry has called for applications, but is yet to form a panel to appoint the new directors.
  • The ministry has also been unable to finalise temporary infrastructure for setting up the new institutes — except for IIM Rohtak, which will initially get a campus at the Maharishi Dayanand University.
  • The CAT announcement had not mentioned the new IIMs.
