Number of Non-IIM participant B-schools for CAT 2012 rises from 109 to 115

The number of non IIM B-schools which are accepting CAT scores is further increased to 115 as on Wednesday, August 1, 2012. In the earlier report of MBAUniverse.com, it was noted that the number of B-schools enlisted under the non-IIM institutes in the CAT IIM website was 109, which was a slight increase from 106, which was counted on the day of the CAT 2012 announcement on Sunday, July 22, 2012.

Some of the B-schools which have been added in the list include SPJIMR Mumbai, Indus Business Academy Bangalore, Department of Business Administration, Tezpur University, Assam, School of Business Studies, Sharda University, Department of Business Management, University of Calcutta among others.

But the other top B-schools which accept CAT scores such as NITIE Mumbai, Great Lakes Institute of Management Chennai, XIME Bangalore, XIM Jabalpur, the Department of Management of the IITs among many other B-schools are yet to appear in the list.

When MBAUniverse.com approached these B-schools, they confirmed their acceptance of CAT 2012 scores for the admission of the academic year 2013-15.

MBAUniverse.com was unable to reach Prof. SSS Kumar, CAT 2012 Convenor for his comments. But earlier he had told MBAUniverse.com that the B-schools are still being updated in the CAT IIM website. Though the closing date of registration is over, there are institutes like IITs, for which some exemptions have been done.

Talking about the reason on why some of the top B-School names are not yet there in the list at the CAT IIM website, Dr. R Sesha Iyer, Director, SPJIMR Mumbai stated, “IIMs would add the names as and when they receive the registration fee of Rs. 2 lakh.”
