There are a number of parameters. The reason for the discrepancies is that most people don't realise that there is no such thing as a sectional cutoff per se. The CAT paper can be evaluated in a number of ways by the individual IIMs. Like last year IIMC split DI into 2, added one half to VA, the other to QA, then put a cutoff on those 2 and an overall cutoff on the people who cleared both these cutoffs. In years whenthe CAT paper is too easy or too difficult the IIMs may just take one single overall cutoff.....

The comes the workex. There is no such thing as quality of workex in the IIMs for determining the interview calls. That is seen easily enough as they don't ask you which organization or role you are working in. They just consider the number of years and yes, there is a definite relaxation for people with workex and I think it is progressive....

Then comes the acads. yes, the IIMs do consider acads, but not all the IIMs. A does. The rest seemingly do not consider acads for interview calls. I base this on my experience and on the experiences of those I've seen.

Final calls, well, this is where everythig is considered. And this is pretty clear and transparent too. You generally know where you will and where you won't get through.

There is one other factor. Final calls are also based a lot on the profile that the individualIIm is looking at. Like after CAT 2001, IIMB sent out 90-95% calls to people with workex! This is determined on the current placements and the summer placements also to some extent as a gauge of what the industry is looking for. Before slamming me for this, please note that I don't agree with the process totally, but thats the way it is.....another fact thaty displays this is the number of girls in IIML. In the previous batch there were 17. This time there are 48. The reason as told to me by a senior prof is that there was a government directive to improve the gender ratio and the IIML authorities were also inclined towards this. In this however, please note that there is no relaxation in the parameters for clearing CAT. Only that they are given higher priority in the final calls......

Hope this helped..Lemme know if you wanna know any other stuff....Cheers!
