True. K & I have always been work-ex heavy. I missed that point.

IIMI results out. To continue from the previous analysis, it seems that all high percentilers have made it. So IIMI might have had very high weightage to %ile (unusually for them). I know its a little early to tell, and once all the results come puring in, we would get a better idea.

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.

Standard disclaimers apply

C is no longer preferring IITians the way it used to...last yr no1 got rejected for pgdcm from kharagpur...this time only high percentile(99.8+) ppl hav made it from here!

well I would like to contradict that ....will quote my example itself .
cat &ile : 99.45
IIT Kanpur mech......but then I had a work ex of 7 months .....not considered to be good enough but then something is better than nothing.

even a lil work ex has mattered this time.the conversion ratio of the recent passed out batch has been way better than the freshers.thats y i was cribbing abt having chosen a 5 yr course in the other thread!last yr no-one,i repeat no one from kgp who got a pgdcm call got rejected...and this time the number is huge!
