Hi Friends,
After rejection from IIMA and waitlisting from IIMK I finally made it to PGDCM of IIMC. Congrats to all those who have made it and AQTB to others.

now i am cursing that moment when i decided to take a 5-yr course here...cud easily hav taken a 4 yr course and gained some work-ex by now.

Hi Sumit,
Still i dont agree that workex matter so much. but ya i do agree on ur crib of pursuing a dual degree program. myself being a dual degree chem engg guy from IIT Bombay .

look,for a fresher it is only acads that u look to, unless offcourse u have very extraordinary extracurrics. but for a workex guy, one another dimension opens during the i/v. I dont know for this yr, but I do remember that a large number of Freshers do made it from IITB in 2001 & 2002(yr of my passing out). I didnt gave CAT during that yr bcoz i was planning to take up Civil Services as my career at that time. And i do feel that final yr is the best/easiest time to crack CAT, it becomes all the more difficult in a job.
but ya, i m surprised that a guy with CG of 8.4 and 100 percentile been rejected .

After all the speculation this thread saw on the way calls are given, now that results are out, this is my take on what finally happened this year.

A: Nothings changed from last year. Not too much emphasis on %ile. PI is make or break. Acads & profile are a huge plus. The batch breakup wouldnt be too different I guess

B: Much lesser emphasis on %ile when compared to last year. Guys with high %iles & average interviews made it n so did the people with (supposedly) low %iles & good Pi's. Also, this batch seems to be more work-ex friendly than last year.

C: Of A,B,C; the IIM which seems to have given the highest emphasis on %ile. Nothing seems to have changed here too.

L: %ile all over again. Also, like B, they seem to have favoured work-ex slightly

K: Reduced weightage on %ile. Pi has definitely mattered.

I: We'l see after results come.

K has given lots of weightage to work-ex. Its a workex heavy batch!

I second monkee on about both C and L.I think they have been hugely percentile biased and me with a 99.27%ile having C,L,I calls have been totally disappointed to c this as they were the big institutes i was thinking of going to.
Now, hoping that I wudn't do the same with me.............
