Hi..
Last yr the rank till which call were given for different schools are as follows
IIT Bombay (SJMSOM) - 345
IIT Delhi - 422
IIT Kgp - 992 (profile based calls were exceptions)
IISc - 823 (Not included now)
IIT Madras - 1357 (Not too sure)
IIT Kanpur -1600 odd
IIT Roorkee - 1680 odd

Of course do have sectional cut offs also

So a rank of 1100-1200 should ideally give u 3 calls

You got to be more clear about the B School u want to compare with...

You can get better info about last yr placement in the respective websites

@ noelatwork

the last rank to convert his at SJMSOM was 345

@aditya,
About placements, IITs are better than most of the "reputed and well-known" B-schools that are more popular both overall and in terms of placements.
I won't go to individual IITs, but will say that the lowest average figure for IITs starts at 7.XX and the highest average (IIT Bombay) is 13.96! That compares with the best. If you mean profiles when you said placements, IIT B,D and Kgp are doing very well. I am sure the other IITs will also catch up pretty soon. One has to remember that IITs are young when it comes to MBA. So in years to come I am sure IITs will be a big name in MBA too!

@srikant, what an exhaustive answer for ranks!

Please don't allow this misconception to grow in your minds guys...I am from SJMSOM...we have many people in our batch who are from the IITs...for further information you can go to SJMSOM website and check out the batch profile...
Having said that it is a very stringent selection process which allows only the best to make it ...so work hard and best of luck ....

I would say that the basic preparation remains same. VA, LR, DI are similar to what we get in CAT and the same prep should suffice. After you are done with CAT, take up a 12th standard book for maths and go through it. That would be more than enough as QA cutoffs are quite low. The aim should be to maximize (especially in LR and DI) the overall and keep sectionals to a reasonable level.

Hi..
I would like to reply.
I have worked as a Part Time faculty for the one of the most reputed CAT training centre at Hyderabad.
Before I appeared for the GD/PIs at IITs, I heard a similer FREE INPUTS from the institute that I worked for. They used to give so much comparative GYAAN about IITs & other B schools. When questioned on what basis they are comparing (such as tech inst. into business may not be good, packages etc.), they didn't had any sound info. They too were dependant on external source, without checking to what extent it was correct.
I appeared for GD/PIs. All I infered from my stay & visit to IITs was that the info I received from the institute I worked with was completely baseless. Their info was 2-3 years old when IITs were just kids of age 2-3 years. Gone are the times. The IITs were best to utilise the economic growth. Coupled with stringent norms in selecting the students, the curriculum, the professors, the students' performance post joining have all contributed to the rise of IITs.
There were a few glitches in the beginning of IITs. Most of the IITs started in the year 2001. Their first batches passed out in the year 2003, the time of recession. Hence, they had a few problems. But by 2004-05, IITs started doing very well & the growth was phenominal since then. However, these institutes never marketed about their growth. Hence many people had the same data of 2003-2004.
Coming to the question of IIT students joining IITs for MBA, yes, the story of IIT students joining IITs has already started. I recommend you not only the SJMSOM site but all IIT websites and check the batch profiles. You'll find that, at all IITs there are IIT B. Tech students. Most of the other students are from the highly reputed Engg colleges of the country such as NITs, NSIT, BITS, KNIT, HBTI, DCE, VIT, IT-BHU, ISM etc.
Do a bit R & D on these things, give JMET & think of the rest. Please do not have any pre-conceived notions (whether good or bad) about any institute. As a former faculty, I recommend you to appear for JMET without any hesitation or doubt.

I wish you all the best.
