The new Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) have delayed the announcement of shortlisted candidates who have made it to the second round of selection for the 2013 postgraduate admissions.
Owing to technical reasons, the list of Common Admission Test (CAT) candidates who have been selected by IIM-Raipur, Ranchi, Rohtak, Kashipur, Udaipur and Trichy has been delayed.

Chairman of admission, IIM-Raipur,Pradyumna Dash said, “The candidate list for the Written Aptitude Test and Personal Interview of the six new IIMs had to be announced on January 15, but due to technical failures it has been delayed.

In the next few days the shortlisted candidates will be announced, Dash added.
“The interviews for the shortlisted candidates will be conducted in five cities viz New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore on specified dates,” he said.
Some of the older IIMs have decided to give WAT and PI scores for the candidates who have been shortlisted in new IIMs as well.
