3) how much stress is on work-ex guys and the kind of work ( do they prefer guys working in core over IT ones ?)... as guys from IT industry were present in abundance there during gd-pi , how they differ their candidates from the lot

Hi rahul,
1) What is the general rank that have been given call ( the range)
Ans: The last rank that has been given the call was around 1100-1200 for general category
2) how much profile matters when they are giving call
Ans: Profiles are given quite a weightage, it would be difficult to tell the exact %age but profiles do matter, but apart from that your GD n
PI can work for u., to tell u frankly I have an avg profile compared to which yours look nice but then had an extremely gud GD n PI... and yes the VGSOM is pretty adamant on quality of student intake and they dnt shy from keeping the seats vacant, only last yr did they released a 2nd list.
3) how much stress is on work-ex guys and the kind of work
Ans: I suppose you mean for the selection process, well IT guys are high in no during process as the general %age of engineers are high in this sector.
But the panel wants to maintain a rich mix and so people outside IT does stand a gud chance, but then if you are deserving then you can always get through... there are a high %age of IT guys in our batch.
4) why vgsom apart from being such a nice infra and overall placement ( last year were better than lots of top-notch one as per release) is not provided the ranking it deserves
Ans: Well that ques does deserve a bit of pondering and I would like to be as unbias as possible. Firstly the rankings and surveys does not reveal a true picture, there are many instances when personal prejudice and other factors (association wid instis, monetary benefits, advertisements, and many other things come in picture). Not only for VGSOM but I would like to advice u not to take decisions based on rankings provided by magazines atleast... take a informed decision which can best be provided by student community.
Now as far as VGSOM is concerned, till last year we were not participating with most of the surveys and hence do not have a very good relation with many of them as there has been no association, we do not offer any favours of any sort. saying that you yourself said about nice infra and placements... take your decision based on that... VGSOM is the oldest Bschool among the IITs (16 yrs), best in terms of infra, excellent faculty profile, good industry connections etc.

Take a decision based on this facts.
Hope I was able to satiate your queries and inhibitions

If you have any other query we would be always glad to help out
