Last yr 300 offers for 251 seats in General SC ST PWD
General offers : 214 in the 1st list.
50 General WL moved till 46. U will find the link to last yr WL movement somewhere earlier in this thread itself.
So for 187 Gen. seats 214 + 46 = 260 people got final offers.
This yr 376 offers for 350 seats . 81 WL (breakup not given till now)

Is anything derivable about the number of extra offers made this year in the general category ?
I understand that it was 90 in 2007 and 49 in 2008. both years resulting in.
The corresponding WL movement was 8 and 46 both resulting in roughly 95.
So i guess that is going to be the deciding factor in how much the WL moves this year ?

Based on a comparison between the gd/pi shortlist and the final call pdf,
CAT 2008 Results

these are the results

376 final calls
247 general category
40 OBC
52 SC
26 ST
10 PWD
adds up to 375


Regarding the waiting list

52 general category
13 OBC
9 SC
5 ST
2 PWD

Total 81

[HYgoldking]

Conversion ratio

Total Calls 1431
Total Offer 376

Ratio: 1431/376 = 3.8

general category Ratio = 831/247 = 3.36
OBC Ratio = 240/40 = 6.00
SC artio = 212/52 = 4.07
ST ratio = 104/26 = 4.00
PWD ratio = 44/10 = 4.40

IIM-Bangalore awaiting ministry nod for OBC quota admission, IIM News - By Indiaedunews.net

IIM-Bangalore awaiting ministry nod for OBC quota admission

"'For the next academic year (2009-10), we plan to offer 60 seats under the OBC quota, which will be 17 percent of the total intake of 350 seats,"



But actual OBC offer is 40

[vinaymodi]

I think they have gone ahead with around 10 % OBC reservation this time.

Comparison with last year.

there were 251 seats in Gen +ST+SC+PWD and 25 offers in OBC ( following a rouhg multiplicator of 1.2 for offers from seats that implies around 21 seats)

So total seats in 2008: 272
(Roughly substantiated by the 24 offers in ST which is always roughly equal to 7.5% of the Total Seats)

General seats <180 ? I see a figure of 177 from somewhere.
In either case,
Number of buffer offers in General (considering 180 seats) = 34
Waiting List movement = 46
Ratio (Total movment to No. of seats) = 80/180 = 0.444

This year,
From the earlier analysis of 247 general calls as well as the figure of 26 ST Calls
I think the total number of seats this year is 346 with around 204 seats in general

Number of buffer offers = 43

Scenario 1:
Movement is the same as last year ratio wise
Total movement = number of gen seats * ratio = 204 * 0.444 = 89.76 ~ 89
Predicted Waiting List movement = 89 - 43 = 46

Scenario 2:
Lesser movement due to various factors
Total movement for a minimum of 70 % WL conversion
Waiting List movment = 36 (70 % of 52)
Total movement = 43+36 = 79
Movement Ratio = 79/204 = 0.387

So at an 87 % of the movement of last year , around 36 people could move from WL.

OBC may be 15%. Few OBC people may have got Interview call under GEN and converted under OBC quota. But this time it turns out to be 20 people. So total 40 + 20 = 60 (15% Quota)

Again OBC wait list is not 13. It is 15 people. (2 person got interview call as GEN. But waitlisted as OBC)

Number of buffer offers = 43

Buffer offer across all category is 376-350 = 26

So total buffer can't be 43. I think you have to redo the calculation

As IIM-C revisits its admission list
IIM-B should do the same.
the conversion ratio does not make sense at all.
if for general it is 1:3.3
for OBC it is 1:6
that is very very unfair.
