Hi Puys,

Howz preparation going. sorry for having VGSOM out of the discussion process till now... were having our mid sems... n u gotta believe that they were really tough... we screwed up big time and so have decided to utilize our energy for facilitating, however little we cn, u guys...

so let this be the official discussion forum for VGSOM admission queries in particular.... though we began with a slightly informal ways but would request u all to be a bit curt n responsible while posting here, don't spam...

You post any relevant queries n we'll be on our toes to answer u.. u post any irrelevant queries n we'll still ans them but with a lots of groans...

This is just done to maintain an excellent repository to facilitate hassle free search of information...

so let the quest begin:

Few links that might be useful to begin with:

-Jmet online information
-Jmet online registration
-Admission queries (VGSOM 2009-2011 Admission Queries!)

Please go through them before, we'll really like to keep this thread for queries pertaining to VGSOM admissions, but would be glad to help you always..

Re: VGSOM 2010-2012 Admission queries - 22-09-2009, 03:40 PM

hi .. thanks for opening up the thread ...
Please answer these few things :
1) What is the general rank that have been given call ( the range)
2) how much profile matters when they are giving call and how much is the % given to jmet rank in the final selection... i have heard that they keep seats vacant rather than filling them with other candidates ..so i can guess profile matters a lot there..
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
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
Please Share your opinions regarding exam and GD-PI and your normal guess that yes these are the things that Insti would in all probability would have considered in final selection..Please be subjective cuz that will help a lot to all candidates
And please have a look at my profile .... and evaluate it for VGSOM
10th-82% 12th - 76% B.E - 74% work-ex till now 24 months in MNC (IT offcourse ) and scoring round 90%iles in AIMCATS ....
And last line ... Am desperate to join this institute cuz My whole life belongs to under 300km radius of VGSOM ( sounds homesick but am not )


There is only one way for me ..... Fortunately that's Upward

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

Hi there,

You have a pretty good profile. So do not worry about that. Right now prepare well for the exam. All other things are secondary as of now. Getting a good rank and getting a call should be the top priority as of now. Weightages are assigned to your rank,GDPI score,acads,relevant workex etc. Hope this clarifies the doubts that you have.
