People with all 6 calls!!! - 01-04-2004, 07:47 PM

Hey everyone...

Having got all 6 calls, what is the chance of getting into atleast one of the IIMs??
( Assuming that he/she doesnt totally screw up the GD/PI)

Has there been a case where a 6 caller didnt make it thru any of the IIMs?
(Just wanted to know the worst case scenario...thats all!!!)

Yeah...that seems to be a fair estimate...

Something like 10-15% for the GD and then maybe 30-35% for the interview.
(This year with IIMB asking for recommendations...there is also a kahani mein twist)

CAT experts...pls. post your comments!!!!

Oops....didnt know that they had asked for recos last year too...

If CAT score has high weightage then I think it would take a real mess up during the GD/PIs for not getting thru any of the IIMs!!!

boss, they also have weightage for your previous acads and work-ex.
and if you have good extra-curriculars then that too.
its very difficult to judge the criteria and weightage.........

What do you mean by wieghtage? Is it a simple percentile calculation?

Like 100 percentile = 60 marks (assuming 60$ weightage) and 90 percentile = 54 marks? In this case, considering that most of them are above 97 percentile, CAT score would itself make very minimum difference right??? Like 99 percentile=54.6 and 100 percentile=60.

Pls elucidate ...
