However, if the money has been deducted from your account but the payment process is interrupted, the bank will refund the amount and credit it to your account.
Since, the CAT fee is non-refundable, candidates must make no mistakes in filling the form. There is no option to edit the CAT application form apart from a few fields like – photo, signature and test city. If you have entered a personal or academic information that is incorrect or invalid and submitted the form, you cannot edit it. You will have to fill a fresh form and pay the fees again.
If you have a very good CAT score but poor academic record it is quite likely that you may not be shortlisted for top IIMs as the institutes prefer candidates with overall consistency in academics. Class 12 scores holds a lot of importance in shortlisting of candidates for WAT-PI.
Highlighting what sets it apart from similar programs at other business schools, Dr. S. Srinivasan, Associate Professor, and Executive MBA Programme Coordinator, DoMS IIT Madras, added, “This program will talk about how the current professionals can start implementing the tool they will be learning during the course of this EMBA. The students will also learn inter disciplinary areas in this course, which will add a lot of value to the working professionals. Our program is highly driven by case study approach in the classrooms. Faculty use even Ivy league and Harvard Business School cases where the students will have a scenario to learn certain challenges and best practices and how to take decisions in a given situation. They will be given a simulated environment to work on a business program.”
