In an attempt to strengthen its research programme, the Indian Institute of Management-Bangalore (IIM-B) is all set to introduce the Research Aptitude Test (RAT) for its fellowship programme in management on the lines of the Common Admission Test (CAT) amid plans to double its intake, increase the stipend and attract more corporate sponsorships for doctoral fellows.

In an attempt to strengthen its research programme, IIM-B will conduct RAT, which will be modelled along the lines of CAT in terms of content and format, and the subsequent interviews are scheduled to be conducted on April 10 and April 11.

Previously students had to write the CAT, GRE or G-MAT and these scores were mandatory.
