The results of the 2025 IIM Ahmedabad were announced on April 16, 2025. A delightful moment for all the selected candidates who were provided with their dream IIM, the top-ranked business school in the country. Nevertheless, a few candidates were unable to receive the final admission letter and are currently anticipating the IIM Ahmedabad waitlist movement. The good news is that the FMS result 2024 was released on April 21, 2025, and some candidates may choose FMS over IIM Ahmedabad due to the lower fees. This implies that there is still a possibility for certain candidates to be admitted to IIM Ahmedabad. In the past, a total of 10 and 39 students withdrew their applications from IIM Ahmedabad in 2022 and 2021, respectively.

In this blog, we’ll explore in detail how much waitlist movement is expected from IIM Ahmedabad.
Waitlist Movement at IIM Ahmedabad
IIM Ahmedabad is the ideal business school for nearly all CAT candidates; however, a small number of students withdraw their applications from the admission process. The initial reason is the exorbitant fees, which are unaffordable for some students, even with a loan. Consequently, they seek out top-tier colleges with lower fees, such as FMS Delhi and IIT Bombay. The second reason is that some individuals find IIM Ahmedabad to be relatively more challenging to study in and achieve high marks than other IIMs. The waitlist movement for 2024 at IIM Ahmedabad has not yet been officially announced. Nevertheless, approximately ten candidates withdrew their admissions in 2022, providing waitlisted candidates with a glimmer of hope for a potential conversion this year.
