When will IMT Ghaziabad send out interview call letters and how do I book my slot?

IMT Ghaziabad typically releases interview call letters in rolling batches rather than all at once — and based on what we've tracked from the January–February 2024 cycle, here's a clear picture of how the process unfolded.

Call Timeline and Eligibility

Calls went out in phases, with candidates who applied in November and early December receiving them first. Those who applied in mid-to-late January were generally told to expect calls within 1–2 weeks from their application date. What's worth noting is that percentile alone doesn't determine who gets called first — application date and other profile factors clearly play a role. We've seen this borne out specifically: a candidate who applied on January 16 with 92.8 percentile received a call, while another who applied the same day with 93.3 percentile was still waiting. The sequencing is genuinely batch-driven, not purely merit-ranked.

Percentile Benchmarks

The range of experiences here is wide, and we think it's important to share the full picture rather than a sanitised version. Candidates with 80 percentile were advised they might be considered for other IMT campuses but likely not Ghaziabad specifically. Calls were observed going out to candidates at 86.9 percentile and above. At the same time, several candidates with 93+ percentiles reported not having received calls in the first round — including one with 97.69 in CAT and 93.8 in XAT — which understandably caused anxiety. The reassurance consistently given was that batch processing was still ongoing and calls would follow. In our experience, this kind of staggered release is normal for IMTG and shouldn't be read as a rejection signal.

Slot Booking: What to Expect

A common issue in this cycle was candidates receiving their shortlist email but seeing blank slots when they logged in to book an interview date. The portal was simply catching up — waiting 2–3 days for the system to populate was the practical advice, and it held true for most candidates. Once slots appeared, initial dates showing were around February 6–7 for the earliest wave. Two important things to keep in mind: interviews are offline and mandatory, and if you don't book within the deadline, a slot will be auto-allocated to you. Don't wait too long assuming the portal will sort itself out.

Campus Preferences and Interview Centres

One thing that caught candidates off guard: some were auto-assigned to the Connaught Place centre for their personal interview despite having selected Ghaziabad as their campus preference. This suggests IMT Ghaziabad may assign interview venues independently of your campus preference, so don't read a different city assignment as any indication of your campus allocation outcome.

The Bottom Line

If you've applied to IMTG and haven't received a call yet despite a strong percentile, the most grounded advice is to keep checking the portal regularly, avoid reading into the silence prematurely, and expect the process to play out over several weeks. The rolling batch model means strong candidates routinely receive calls in the second or third wave.
