hey im applying wid 76%.....i hope i do get a call

btw what was the highst package this time??

Hi Prabhu,

I have a 96.6 percentile in XAT but my verbal percentile is very low. Does KIAMS consider overall percentile or do they have sectional percentile too? Also since I have a 79.33 percentile in CAT, I am planning to apply via XAT only. Is the weightage same for CAT and Xat or do they give more importance to CAT percentile?

Thanks,

Sonia

i cant say that i have a 70+ %ile. got 70.88 in cat and 71 in xat,with people saying the cut-off might be 75+,do i stand a chance.
when they take into account cat and xat score,do they take the best of the 2 or is there separate criteria for the scorecards

[prabhus15]

my suggestion is anyone who has got above 70 percentile pls apply.

regd question of autonomous :

yes, it may make a difference when you are planning for a higher studies like doctorate.also some foreign universities accept only aicte approved courses.
KIAMS IS IN THE PROCESS OF AICTE APPROVAL AS FOR MY LIMITED KNOWLEDGE IS CONCERNED.IT MAY BE THAT MY DEGREE AFTER MY COMPLETION WILL BE APPROVED IF OUR BATCH IS LUCKY.(BUT NOT SURE)

HOWEVER THERE ARE ADVANTAGES WHEN NON-APPROVAL IS CONCERNED

FLEXIBILTY IN SETTING CURRICULAM ACCORDING TO CURRENT NEEDS .
INTRODUCTION OF NEW COURSES WHENEVER NEEDED.
EVALUATION SYSTEM

JUST FOR YOUR NOTE:SOME GOOD B-SCHOOLS IN INDIA ARE NOT AICTE APPROVED

AS FOR JOB IS CONCERNED THIS DOESNT MAKE MUCH OF DIFFERENCE HOWEVER IT DEPENDS ON COMPANIES.

BUT I WOULD SUGGEST IF YOUR KEEN ABOUT AICTE APPROVAL PLS GO FOR INSTITUTES WHICH HAS THAT.

REGD.HIGHEST SAL THIS TIME IT IS 5.4/ANNUM AS OF NOW AS FOR MY KNOWLEDGE IS CONCERNED.

ANY FURTHER QUERIES ALWAYS WELCOME

No Kiams Doesnt Look Overall Percentile.

[prabhus15]

you apply with print out.but pls bring original during gd/interview.they will check it

also attach a letter stating why you are unable to send the copy of score card.

[prabhus15]

there is no such criteria of more weightage for cat/xat as for as my knowledge is concerned. my suggestion would be you apply through both scores

[prabhus15]

sorry it was slip of the fingers.KIAMS DOESNT LOOK FOR INDIVIDUAL PERCENTILES.THEY LOOK FOR ONLY OVERALL.HOWEVER A ZEO IN ONE SECTION MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED AS FOR MY KNOWLEDGE IS CONCERNED.MY SUGGESTION ANYONE ABOVE 75 IN TOTAL PSL APPLY AND TRY
