Hi Guys,

My only call after IIM L(ABM). VA ruined me. Does this VA score will have any effect on the final selection of IIMB..??

Hi Puys,

Though I don't really have a great CAT percentile, I was just curious if there was any point where I could have specifically lost out on the B call.

CAT 2010

OA 97.58
DI 92.xx
QA 94.xx
VA 96.xx

10th 92.7% (CBSE)
12th 91.7% (AP Board)
B.E (Hons.) 9.02/10 (BITS, Pilani)

Work Ex: 6 Months

Thanks. Will really appreciate an answer since I know some freshers from college with lower CAT percentiles and lower percentages getting a call. I am confused

@AS123: I feel it is the same what has been mentioned in that pdf. But sectional cut-off for General is 80+ each (unlike 80,80,90 last year as mentioned in that pdf). Totally my judgement.

Yes, I think so too that the sectional cut-off for General has been relaxed to 80+...

I was not called by IIMB, can you let me know,what might be the reason.

My CAT score

Naman,

The site has a bug. If you enter your SR as sr12345678, it will display that you have not been shortlisted irrespective of the fact whether you have been shortlisted for PI or not. You need to try with SR12345678 (SR should be in capital). Maybe you've also been hit by this issue. Please recheck.

I checked with SR in Caps. and its still the same.

Looking at IIMB's admission criteria, and looking at the profile of some people here who have got calls (no offence), I was just wondering how I did not receive a call. My profile:

Could seniors shed some light as to why I might not have got a call?

I am assuming its because of CBSE where above 90 is not good enough combined with 6 months work ex.

Congratulations to each of you for securing a call from one of the finest B-Schools in Asia!

Some quick points:

1) Refer to the admission process document. It clearly mention the exact selection process for the batch 2011-2013
http://www.iimb.ernet.in/sites/default/files/PGPAdmission-2011-Final.pdf

2) Your essay writing and interviews will be very critical, especially for people who are lacking in one of the parameters (CAT, X, XII, Undergraduate etc..).. So for the time being, concentrate on your preparations for interviews.

All the best!

Interview Date: 31st March. At Bangalore.

Seniors/Puys,
What's the logic behind deciding the GDPI date?

For GEN, Total # of GDPI calls given and # seats?

no offence to you buddy...but can IIMs see this....dey say that engineering students get good aggregate % so give non-engineers an extra weightage. or bonus marks. or dey equate 85%of engineering to 65% in other fields...

and can u see how scoring is stats...n tell me a guy scoring 91% in engineering...m not toking about GPA. m toking about %gae.....

in my univ. univ topper gets a little less than 80%...n in some univ(like pune) the topper gets 70......

and there is no normalization done by IIMs in regard to this.

I understand that science subjects are generally very high scoring. But still, my aggregate is good regardless of the steam I'm in. I'm sorry if you feel you are being treated unfairly by the IIMS, but quite frankly, theres nothing I or you can do about it.
