dont worry mate. you can always cover up ur case of low percentage. you work in a very good company and a period of 20 months is quite good. we have a few poeple with below 70% in their engg. your percentage does not carry any weightage for recieving a call.
once you get a call it is only ur GD and interview performances which count. so forget all ur tensions before the exams. pull up ur socks and aspire to enter into one of the best b-schools.

this year the iit's have introduced sectional cutoffs. while two of the three sections need no extra preperation, for quant you need to work a bit extra. in addition to your CAT quant, try and do linear algebra, co-ordinate geometry and a bit of basic maths from 1st year engg. evn if u are good at the cat quant it should suffice. but then u should be good at the other 2 sections. a percentile of around 97-98 should fetch you a call from almost all the iit's. that will be a rank of around 350. the percentiles anyway depend on how many competitors have. so target a rank below 400.

I wont say that past acads dont matter at all, but if u r smart, u can always cover them up with other achievements that u have had. Also, having a workex of say 20 months would act as a slight advantage in ur case. So there.

Thanks a lot... Will keep this in mind

Anytime dude! ATB with preps and yeah for all asking abt quants, dont worry too much, just be prepared with CAT quants and do a li'l bit of higher maths (if time permits). the key shud be to score high in other sections

Signing off,

There was no GK section last year.
However LR and DI were separate if I remember correctly

@seniorz - Sorry if I am intruding

[nareshk]

Hey no probs wid u answering questions on jmet, when u know abt it... in fact our job gets easier

As far as last year JMET goes, there was no GK...

n number of students appearing, this year IIT-Roorkee is conducting it, so ppl thr can answer it.

Just a little piece of advice for JMET aspirants::

We seldom look at brochure for the actual sylaabus before preparing for any entrance exam in the sense that we tend to think that its all the same. Guys, please do go through the syllabus given in the JMET brochure. There are changes every year with addition / deletion of topics. There might even be some information about changes in the pattern of the exam.

All the best !!!!

PS: For ppl in the 2008 batch who dont know me, I am from the 2006 batch
