I took the CAT examination in which I scored 81.24 percentile. After applying for IIFM through the link on their website, I got a call for WAT and PI. A simple topic in the Written Ability Test to check written skills and a PI which was more of a conversation with two of the faculty. They simply asked about why would I want to join this institution. Being a sectoral institution one has to be ready with the answer. The online form for IIFM is floated around February every year and the WAT & PI callups are around March/April. The joining is in the last week of June each year.
