If any initially admitted candidate rejects the offers, then the seat will become vacant. Numerous factors are considered when preparing the IIM Waitlist Movement. The list of factors is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nAcceptance Rate:<\/strong> Students mostly accept seats in top IIMs (Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Calcutta). This is why the waitlist movement at the top IIMs is limited. While many students reject seats in mid-tier and new IIMs for top B-schools. This is why newer IIMs see higher waitlist movement.<\/li>\n\n\n\nBackup Admission Options:<\/strong> Many candidates reject IIM offers every year. The reason? They secure admission to top B-schools in India or abroad. As a result, seats become available for waitlisted students.<\/li>\n\n\n\nSeat Intake Capacity: <\/strong>IIMs with more seats often see higher waitlist movement. The seat withdrawals open up selection chances for waitlisted candidates.<\/li>\n\n\n\nCategory:<\/strong> Category plays an important role in the IIM waitlist movement. The seats are available category-wise. The waitlist movement depends on the acceptance and rejection rates within each category.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/span>IIM Waitlist Movement 2026 Past Year Trends & Analysis<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nCandidates should analyse the IIM waitlist movement trends for all categories. This lets them predict their chances of securing admission in their desired institute. We have shared below the IIM waitlist movement of past years. Candidates are advised to check the official website of the respective IIMs for the official data.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>IIM Ahmedabad Waitlist Movement<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere is limited movement in the waitlist at IIM Ahmedabad.
