-To get a call from all the IIT's, it required around 66-67 out of 150 marks last year.
-I myself got 64 (rank 691) and got calls from all IIT's except IITB & D.
-The sectional cut-offs were low. It was around 10 marks in VA,DI and LR and around 5 marks in QA.

Disclaimer:
- Plz note that the figures given above are what i feel and the feedbacks i recieved from my friends in various colleges. I have tried to be as accurate as possible but actual data may vary. I should also state here that i joined as a fresher. People with work-ex may xpect a little relaxation in the figures given.

- Plz keep in mind that these data are only for the jmet xam given last year and may vary this year. this is important as this data may not hold true this year particularly seeing the fact that mba@iit's are becomin one of the most sought after courses as well.

I am not sure about the last rank for the interview call and the ratio ( will confim later) but, one or two guys with strong profile and three years of work ex were able to convert final call up to 2000 rank. ( Data varies with year) and freshers( converted) average rank is 600.

and add to this, the average work ex of our batch is 2.6 years and 15% people are fresher and 85% junta have work ex. Most of the calls for work ex junta varies from 400-1400 ( The more work ex and strong profile you have, the more are the chances towards higher side)

This is purely my thinking....

The no. of questions in the paper are 150. The time for the test is 120 mins. So less than one min per question. Also, there is negative marking of 1/4. Hence, a normal cut-off would generally hover around 65-70 odd marks. Also, the questions in quant are not easy as they may seem. In the cut-off is close to 45 - 50 % marks. Can you tell me of many entrances which have a cut-off of such high percentage... CAT and XAT generally are close to 35 to 40 %. So i think the cut-offs are pretty correct. Hope this helps.

@seniors... Plz. correct if i am wrong

The cut offs are just for your rank to display and they do not determine your rank. A person who has just cleared his cutoffs in all sections may have 21000 rank and for a person who could not clear his cutoff in any section, his rank may not be displayed.
And this happened to most of the students this time. Their overall performance was good, but could not clear cut off in some sections and their rank was not displayed.
Hope it answers your query...

cheers,
Vikram

Hi...
good so see your interest in knowing all about the exam.
let me tell you why the cutoff is so?

First, as you know that the paper is for 120 min. The duration of the test is 120 min. But you might get only 115 min, considering the time spent on scanning, signing and other distractions.

The trend of the paper says that toppers of the test score anywhere between 75-80 in general. There will be a huge difference between the top score and subsequent ranks.
That means you get an opportunity to read all the questions but solve 100 questions. The quant part is the one where the contribution towards the total score will be minimum.
In DI, you can score 1 mark per min on an average. In quant, you can score 4-5 marks (10 in the case of the topper) in 20 min. As the sectional cutoffs are enforced, we cannot ignore any section.
Therefore, the topper now scored 65-70 marks (after negetive marking) from other areas in 90 min. which is the best (coz, there will be difficult questions and speed breaking questions in other areas too).

That is why the top score will be close to 80 in the case of topper.
But a score of 67+ (as per JMET 2005/2006/2007) will fetch u a rank less than 300.
Last year for a score of 65-66, the ranks were between 400-500. Arpit aka garg.arpit scored 64 for which he got a rank of 691. Look at the huge variation.
For a score of 58.5, the rank was 1651. In just 6 marks, the rank jumped by 1000.

So, that is how the test and the usual scoring.
The paper being moderate depends on how well you were able to get more marks in less time. If you ask me, it is above moderate paper.
I hope now you have a clear picture of the test, scoring and ranks.

Please be free to ask any questions regarding your preparation.

Cheers,
Team MBA, IITK.
