Only applicants who will successfully submit the application fee will able to avail this facility.

Since the window is available, candidates must now upload the images in the correct format. This would be the last chance after that no request to do the same will be entertained. You must upload the clear colored passport size photograph of dimension 30 mm (width) x 45 mm (height) only. The size must be less than 80 Kb and the image resolution should be 150 px/inch (min).

There are many candidates who have uploaded the wrong data in the form and need to edit the same. The common mistakes are an error in uploading marks, test city preference etc. So, it might be possible that the IIM-C will open the application correction window in the first week of October 2018.
