Am not too sure but in previous batches people with a 4 year BIT course have also got through and since B.Pharm is also a 4 year course you should be eligible, anyhow I will confirm and let you know. Also there are some other IITs which accept B.Pharm so you can definitely try your hand at JMET.

The first year students' profiles have ben updated at the doms iit madras website. Do have a look. The students blog has a lot of other information like stuff you should know about doms. Make sure to visit the blog and learn things no one knows about doms iitm.

Does one need to have a first class aggregate to apply or will securing first class in the final year do ? I feel this question is apt for Mumbai/Pune universities where the degree awarded takes only the final year marks into consideration.

Please throw some light on this matter.

The overall aggregate (of all subjects' marks in all semesters) will be considered when arriving at the aggregate score. The University degree certificate is required as a proof that there are no dues and all is clear in your degree.

I applied for IIT Madras MBA programme through CAT scores nd not selected despite a perc of 96.25 due to low DI score. On this forum I found that people are worried about the CAT cut off last year. As a result I have quoted below the short-listing criteria that IIT M declared for their 2009-2011 selection programme. Hope it helps-
Our shortlisting procedure is presented below:
* * * * *
First, the applicants are sorted into three mutually exclusive sets:
a) candidates who have declared only JMET scores,
b) candidates who have declared both JMET and CAT scores,
c) candidates who have declared only CAT scores.

Both, JMET and CAT have the following sections – Quantitative (Q), Verbal (V), Logical Reasoning (LR) and Data Interpretation (DI). JMET separates LR and DI, while CAT combines them.

JMET and CAT assign different marks to each section. Therefore, each declared CAT score, in each section, has to be scaled and normalized to obtain its respective equivalent JMET score for enabling comparisons.

Once this is completed, a single scaled and normalized list of sectionwise scores data would be available for comparisons using the JMET scale as reference.

The applicants’ scores (scaled and normalized) in each section are sorted in descending order and then the section cut-off percentiles are used to shortlist applicants sectionwise. The Common Merit List (CML) including all categories (General, OBC, SC/ST and PD) is then identified as the “intersection” of scores that are present in ALL THREE LISTS – Q, V, and LR + DI. Naturally, there could have been applicants who scored very well in one or two sections but not the other(s). This would imply that their scores would be included in the shortlists of the one or two sections they scored very well (as they would be inside the cut-off percentiles), but would be excluded from the section(s) in which they did not score well (as they would be outside the cut-off percentiles). Such applicants would not be included in the CML, irrespective of the overall JMET ranks or net CAT percentiles.

The CML is then used to shortlist candidates from the OBC, SC/ST and PD categories according to the Government of India norms/guidelines.

For candidates in set (b), both JMET and CAT scores are taken into account and the better of the two is chosen for shortlisting. In general, DoMS_IIT Madras always uses the principle of granting the benefit to the applicant when the case arises.

* * * * *

Please note that if an applicant (Open category) satisfies any one of the following two CUT-OFF SCHEMES then he/she is in our list of candidates invited to the GT/PI process.

CUT-OFF SCHEME 1 (as per the JMET or the equivalent scaled and normalized CAT scores):

Q (17.99/30) and
LR and DI (considered together) (36.17/60) and
V (16.5/30)

OR

CUT-OFF SCHEME 2 (as per the JMET or the equivalent scaled and normalized CAT scores):

Q (16.68/30) and
LR and DI (considered together) (34.50/60) and
V (14.99/30)

AND

Q*(LR+DI)*V greater than or equal to 15450.

Please note the Boolean ‘OR’ and ‘AND’ conditions...
ALL D BEST!!!

We can get above diplomacies Yes, the application form when applying to DoMS, IITM will have provision to fill in your CAT score. The regular place for JMET rank will continue to be as it is.

For those of you who have taken the CAT, hold on with your application queries. The admission form will be available for download from January onwards. IITs give a fair chance to students to apply after the CAT and JMET results are announced, so that one does not spend unnecessarily on application forms.
