I don't know how to really frame this question. but here it goes- I have got a call from C only, what exactly shud i do now. to make sure of a convert?
I am doing B.Tech at IIT M in electrical engg. cgpa of 7.1/10 
. decent school record. and good extracurriculars. obviously no work ex.
Any sugesstion for what to do for GD/PI. what all to take care of ( Tech stuff, anything?) .
Regarding weightages..it varies from year to year and nobody except the adcom knows about it.
Anyway, that's something that's not in your domain , so it would be better to concentrate on something where you can make a difference.
For freshers, I guess you need to concentrate on your acads (especially application aspects) and extra currics. IIMC has a flair for extra currics.
Lemme know if there's anything in particular.

See the point is, what can someone ask from a fresher apart from academics?? So be sure that some acad related questions would be there in the interview until unless the panels attention is caught by something very unusual/attractive on your form.
Regarding the weitages, u can check following link were i made a post regarding what the rough estimates of weitages were there last year.

That seems to be the general trend, but then as this years cat has shown, IIMs can do what they like. So be biased at your own risk.
Catch_th_CAT SaysDo we get different call for PGDCM (IIMC) ????
Nah, there is no different cutoff for PGDCM. You either get both the calls or none.

Engineers in general and IITians in particular are a little favored by IIM C. So you have a decent chance. But dont be too sure, coz many a times even IITians have got a kick. All that can be said is that IIT tag gets you a better probabality of conversion.
In extracurrics, if you have held positions of responsiblity, then they might ask questions related to that. Also if there is some extraordinary acheivement on extracurrics, that might help. But yes be sure that they would like to grill you on acads because of your low cg. Basically as the CG goes up, less are the questions related to acads, as Cg itself becomes a certificate of good acad.

I beg to differ here...
I have known people getting GD/PI calls specifically for only PGDCM or only PGDM...
Probably depending on the sectional cutoffs...perhaps for PGDCM a higher quant cutoff would matter...

You can have only PGDM call, that is if u havent applied for PGDCM. But u wont have just a PGDCM initial call. You must have heard about single final calls. There is no different cutoffs for PGDCM & PGDM. The apptitude in quant for PGDCM is judged via ATM and not thru higher quant cutoff. They dont keep two judging parameter.

Dude,
Like I said before I knew a guy who HAD ACTUALLY got an INITIAL call from IIMC for PGDCM ALONE...(An IIMC PGDCM 9th batcher and 2002 batch IIT KGP).....
Even I wasnt aware that IIMC gave out separate calls until i knew abt this one call...
but then seeing is believing!!!
I know the reason
He must not have marked the PGDM fully/correctly in the CAT application form. So he was considered ONLY for PGDCM.
... Hanoz.

Quiet possible. As far as i am concerned, the pgp adm chrperson remarked in general that the differentiation comes only after intial call as afr as pgdcm is concerned, when i was giving atm test.

For people with workex, rarely does the interview focus on prev acads. Mostly its on the workex part. Even in the few cases that they ask about prev acads from workex people, its simple stuff.
Given the substantial amount of workex u have, i wud say prepare ur interview taking for granted that it will be workex based. Also sometime the ask for instances wherein you have demnstrated various qualities that you have.

Could somebody pls post abt the MAT of PGDCM? Saw the sample paper they'd sent, seemed to consist majorly of Matrices, probability and usual calculus.
