But Beware guys...some IIMs have given preference to OBC's and SC /STs always have the advantage...So bfor filing RTI and all tht atleast make sure tht the guy fell in the general category and not even OBC...IIMA AND IIMB have given some preference to OBCs while shortlisting too..so be cautious

sorry a guy with 94.5 in any other category will get all 6 calls..not only B call..so that guy is a general candidate...

Buddy, i don't understand one thing here. why do u want to teach IIM's a lesson?
im pretty sure that they don't have a grudge on anybody, and the right to select or reject a candidate is solely theirs.

if u got 96 and 93 in DI and quants, along with a 2.5 years of exp in consulting, for all that u know, they might have got 10 guys who have 2.5 years in consulting with better percentiles than you.

as far as i know, IIM's or for that matter any good MBA college's selection committee have an idea as to how their batch profile for a particular year should be. if they think they want to have more Engineer's then the selection trend wld be that way. if they want a lot from the software industry, so be it.

IIM's would have seen many people every year who try to question their selection process, and they know how much of information they need to give out.

give a genuine attempt at getting valid information. challenging their selection process, might not be fruitful

Scores below 95% et al - 16-01-2008, 04:27 PM

A score below 95 percentile in any section precludes your selection in A or B. These criteria were clearly laid down (AFAIK) in the CAT bulletin or some other document that was released last year.
Do chk.

you still have three IIM calls, and those are in no way bad. give in ur best and convert all three. if you visit threads of IIM K,L and I on PG, the puys there will really cheer you up, giving you the benefits of each of those 3 IIM.

IIMI, i've heard is situated on a hill, that will be an awesome place to spend ur 2 years



Bharath
P.S - i've seen that IIMB gives a lot of weightage to quant score. for ppl whose percentile was in the range of 98%, with above 99 in quant have got calls from IIMB

Re: CAT 2007 - Scorecard Discrepancy - IIMs Calls Discrepancy - 16-01-2008, 04:47 PM

Hi guys,

Good to see this that some people do have the courage to stand up against the treatment meted out to a few of us. It seems that they have played a game of russian roulette with the answer sheets of some candidates..

I was supposed to get 38 in qa(even according to the IIM Keys), but my scorecard shows 33% age. In va I was getting 28 acc to IIM keys but my scorecard shows 26.

I did check my answers during cat, so there is little scope of marking a bubble wrongly in qa... but even if I agree that I did make a mistake in qa, what happened in VA ?? the marks cannot change from 28 to 26 by marking a bubble wrongly... I don't think that I made too many of such mistakes..especially because I checked the twice.

I am with you guys... file the PIL/RTI.... lets dig into the matter further. If I am not good enuff for the IIMs.. no probs, I would accept that.. but atleast treat me fairly.... these kinds of errors in an exam which can change the course of people's lives... is simply unacceptable.
thanks.
