After the results are out, you will receive an email from the IIMs if you are selected based on CAT score and your profile. The process thereafter will require you to separately apply on their respective portals if you want to accept the call.

The answer is number after giving the CAT you don't need to apply for each IIM separately. It is much like the counselling process for JEE preference filling. So, once you given CAT and results are out, you just have to fill your preferences. It's up to you as of how many IIMs to apply and in what order.
Then, all the IIMs will prepare lists of short listed candidates for further rounds. This list is prepared by using your CAT score. Then, once you get the call, you have to go for further rounds which consists of what/GD and personal interview. So once you have given the What and Interview, you have to wait for results to be announced....more -
No, you don't need to apply separately for any of the new or old Indian Institutes of Management. When you fill the application form you have to fill a preference as to how many IIMs you wish to be part of. This is a one-time process which needs to be completed at the time of the application process.
Based on the options that you choose and on the various admission criteria that different IIMs put up you are given a call and further process of Group Discussion/Writing Ability Test/Personal Interview process takes place.

No you don't need to apply for IIM after giving CAT as CAT is conducted by IIM oy to Admission into their PGP program.

You will get a call based on your score, your graduation marks and your work experience all these are taken into account to give a call to applicant for GDPI process. So if you will get shortlisted you will be called automatically.

No. You don't need to apply to all IIMs separately because when you apply for the CAT exam you simultaneous apply to all IIMs. During CAT exam registration, there will be one section where you have to choose the IIMs and programs you are interested in. So, it means that you apply to IIMs when you apply for CAT exam.
But please remember that you have to apply separately to other B schools like FMS, MDI Gurgaon, IMT Ghaziabad, etc.
So, please take care of the other B-School application. In some cases, you have to apply to some B school even before giving your CAT exam example FMS Delhi.
I hope this helps and Good Luck!
