Thanks Bhawik Raja
I'm staying outside India for more than 4 years.
Last year what was the least GMAT score for any NRI candidate at IIT-Madras ?
I can prepare myself for the GMAT based on this info.

Many Thanks,
Prabhu

I applied for IIT Madras MBA programme through CAT scores nd not selected despite a perc of 96.25 due to low DI score. On this forum I found that people are worried about the CAT cut off last year. As a result I have quoted below the short-listing criteria that IIT M declared for their 2009-2011 selection programme. Hope it helps-
Our shortlisting procedure is presented below:
* * * * *
First, the applicants are sorted into three mutually exclusive sets:
a) candidates who have declared only JMET scores,
b) candidates who have declared both JMET and CAT scores,
c) candidates who have declared only CAT scores.

Both, JMET and CAT have the following sections – Quantitative (Q), Verbal (V), Logical Reasoning (LR) and Data Interpretation (DI). JMET separates LR and DI, while CAT combines them.

JMET and CAT assign different marks to each section. Therefore, each declared CAT score, in each section, has to be scaled and normalized to obtain its respective equivalent JMET score for enabling comparisons.

Once this is completed, a single scaled and normalized list of sectionwise scores data would be available for comparisons using the JMET scale as reference.

The applicants’ scores (scaled and normalized) in each section are sorted in descending order and then the section cut-off percentiles are used to shortlist applicants sectionwise. The Common Merit List (CML) including all categories (General, OBC, SC/ST and PD) is then identified as the “intersection” of scores that are present in ALL THREE LISTS – Q, V, and LR + DI. Naturally, there could have been applicants who scored very well in one or two sections but not the other(s). This would imply that their scores would be included in the shortlists of the one or two sections they scored very well (as they would be inside the cut-off percentiles), but would be excluded from the section(s) in which they did not score well (as they would be outside the cut-off percentiles). Such applicants would not be included in the CML, irrespective of the overall JMET ranks or net CAT percentiles.

The CML is then used to shortlist candidates from the OBC, SC/ST and PD categories according to the Government of India norms/guidelines.

For candidates in set (b), both JMET and CAT scores are taken into account and the better of the two is chosen for shortlisting. In general, DoMS_IIT Madras always uses the principle of granting the benefit to the applicant when the case arises.

* * * * *

Please note that if an applicant (Open category) satisfies any one of the following two CUT-OFF SCHEMES then he/she is in our list of candidates invited to the GT/PI process.

CUT-OFF SCHEME 1 (as per the JMET or the equivalent scaled and normalized CAT scores):

Q (17.99/30) and
LR and DI (considered together) (36.17/60) and
V (16.5/30)

OR

CUT-OFF SCHEME 2 (as per the JMET or the equivalent scaled and normalized CAT scores):

Q (16.68/30) and
LR and DI (considered together) (34.50/60) and
V (14.99/30)

AND

Q*(LR+DI)*V greater than or equal to 15450.

Please note the Boolean ‘OR’ and ‘AND’ conditions...
ALL D BEST!!!

Do keep a tab on the doms iitm website and the students' blog for latest information related to admissions. My guess is that the application form should be available from january onwards.

Hi..
I am preparing for JMET. I want to know the JMET cut off mark for an OBC (Non Creamy Layer) candidate last year. It will be really helpful to all OBC candidates, if someone from the current batch replies to this.

I have around 5 years of professional work experience in Cognizant. How far this work experience helps me to fetch a MBA seat in IIT Madras.

Thanks & Regards,
Balaji A

OBC rank cut off was around 5500. Yes the 5 years of work experience will definitely make your profile stand out, but be rest assured that you will be quizzed on your motive for joining MBA after 5 yrs of work (that is, in case you qualify!). All the best.

Hi

Any other IIT accepts CAT or some other score apart from JMET?
