Hi Apoorv.

[1] The forms for NIA are not yet out but they will be out in a few days. The website is in the process of being updated with the new details. That is why it still shows the last date to apply as 15 Feb 2009.

[2] Fees for the 2009-11 batch was Rs. 5,00,000 inclusive of hostel and mess charges. But this fee structure may be revised this year, so you can expect it to increase.

[3] Last year calls were given based on the overall profile. The percentile most of the students here is in the range of 80-90 but there are people with percentiles as high as 96 and lowest must be somewhere in early 70's.
As far as the batch profile is concerned, it is a very vibrant batch with people from almost all kinds of industries. You can see the entire batch profile on our website. Freshers constitute 67% of the 2009-11 batch.
