Hey guys,
What do u think.. isn't it high time.. we should try and do someting about all this.. i mean why is so much sececy being maintained about the selectin process of IIMs. Why is it that a 100 percenitler did not have a call from IIMB. suppose that was his dream IIM??? what is all this going on?? Why dont the IIMs disclose the process???

Last year also I appeared for CAT-03 and FMS, got five calls - FMS, B, C, L and K. had 99.42 overall and a very balanced sectional percentiles minimum being 97.84... But still was rejected by all the IIMs. Throughout my four years of engg., I did all the things keeping in mind only the IIMs.. everythign extra-curric was targeted keeping IIMs in mind. Though I am from an IIT, i started dreaming of IIMs before i ever gave a thought to aspiring for IIT( am from Ahmedabad, so very much fascinated by IIMA, but they denied me a chance last year too and now this year again... ) Anyways coming back to my extra-currics, keeping in mind why do i want to do an MBA??( for being an enterpreneur).. i am the founder and student manger of the Entrepreneurship cell of IIT Roorkee.. Was finalist in an international business plan competion where only 10 teams made to the finals and these included teams from IIMs, NUS(National University of Singapore) and stanford... beat IIMs in a business quiz conducted as part of Nihilanth- an inter IIT-IIM quiz festival... and the list goes on....
But know what.. I had a stammering problem, which i have almost overcome now... But in FMS and Khozikode, i was told that, if they take me, my stammering problem can become a problem for me as i will have to go thru a lot of GD-PIs for campus in IIMs. I tried to convince them, that its not a problem and am improving fast (have almost improved now) with an example of Jack Welch.. He also used to stammer a lot, and yet he is one of the best managers ever....But all in vain.. no calls converted.. no idea why????
This time, i thought lets put in a better effort for CAT, and succeded, though not exactly in verbal.. and thoought will make it this time atleast.. but i guess again my dreams are shattered.. though i have calls from C, K and L, but now the enthu is not there.. have lost faith in the system...

And also the courage to try again next year....

Anyways guys dont u feel something needs to be done...

Regards,
Mikin
p.s. sorry for such a long post, but was feeling like pouring my heart out.. and thanks to all those who took the pain to read it till the end..

p.p.s. I will suggest None of the Above...

I thought IIMs were being tough on me! 99.10%tile and only one call! only IIMB till now, A,C,L and K have not shorlisted me. I don't know about Indore. For me SPJain is left! But after seeing this thread I feel that still I am lucky to get atleast one call. And they have a genuine reason for not selecting me. I have only 85.7 in DI.

I must say some guys here really had very bad luck with calls. Don't loose heart guys, I have seen that if a person has caliber and if lady luck is unfair to him, when he succeeds it's like a supernova explosion! I have seen hundreds of such cases...best of luck for the rest of the results and exams.

I cant help but agree. The way the calls have been given out is quite ridiculous or mysterious, whichever you would like to call it. Very strange that guys with a 99+ and good split have not got thro.

Dubey, the thing you said about accuracy may not be true. Some of my friends who have got thro into B have accuracy about 70-80%. Thats no big deal, we all know. So i guess accuracy is not the criterion. Its something else...

And veteran, your overall score looks great. But in verbal you got 89.5. Thats what has deprived you of calls. I say this from experience. Last time i got 89.9 in verbal. I was pretty sure i did not clear the cut off. Fair or unfair, the IIMs expect higher verbal percentiles.
