Instead of keeping hopes high for high cat scorer till 21 jan and then hitting hard on the face, what prometric should do is that while filling the form in August they must grey-out the checkboxes for old iims if your acads are bad. that way everyone know what they are aiming for in advance.

i support the idea...i think IIMs want people to decide thr future before class Xth .
I do not know what wud be the future of India if people stopped doing anything else apart from from studying from the beggining...

IIMs shud not bank upon the acads...ppl r really wrkng hard n gtng 98-99+ scores and nt gtng thru ur doors. I am a 96%iler and feeling pity for the 98-99%ilers.
Guys dnt get upset and keep wrkng hard u will get the success even without gtng into IIMs. All the Best
CAT Score (RIP)

It is the shock of realizing that your current attempts at aiming for your desired career choice will curry no favors with the IIMs that's frustrating most of us. Maybe someday it won't be so.

Maybe some day in the future, hopefully next year itself, students will realize the importance of a good profile. ( And I'm not talking about the girl/diversity thing here )

A good profile offers many alternatives. For example, one may consider going abroad through GMAT. Or perhaps, entrepreneurship might be your bug. You might want to try undergoing a short term work experience at the nearby shops. It need not be from the point of view of admissions! Just go and see what people do, and how they work.

It takes all kinds of people to build a dream. It takes just one to dream it. You have a dream, try and build on it. Sometimes you do marvellous things, but the appreciation doesn't come. It's ok, because now you know that you have it in you. Hope is for the future, for the past is just a prejudiced mirror of your juvenile mistakes, atleast at the age of 22.

Life has to move forward from here. You've scored well, but you've lost out somewhere this year. It'll probably happen next year too. Maybe it might keep happening.... If only's won't help lessen the irritation of not having that call you, rightly, feel entitled to. If only I were having a quota/were not an engineer/were born a girl.... You wouldn't be you, idiot! Stop that nonsense!

Life can only be lived once, stop cribbing! Go ahead with the GD/PI process, especially if you don't have the calls :)

Think about three questions. Think about them honestly. You'll realize all these stumbling blocks aren't even secondary... They're the small specks of dust that tend stick to your lens/spectacles, and you just need to apply a bit more force to shine it away.

1. Tell me something interesting about yourself. [ Seriously, interesting]
2. Why MBA? What are your long term career goals? How will an MBA from (this) institute help you get there?
3. What are your strengths and weaknesses? What would your parents/friends have to say about what you just said? Will they agree with your analysis?

50 years from now, when you write your autobiography, what will be the first thing you will probably say in it about success...?

"I owe it all to my family/wife/friends/children. They are my inspiration"

B School toh aa jayega, %ile dekhi hai kya apni??? Soch lo, chill maaro zara.

WTH !!! This is so not fair !
Wot are your acads btw ?

Heyy..
1st of all atb to all those who got calls.. now, start preparing hard.. i wud say having work-ex in iimi is significantly of no advantage at all as compared to other iim's.. dis yr's batch has 40% freshers.. so, both freshers & work-ex wud be at a level-playing field in iimi at least..
also, the call:convert ratio of iimi is among the highest at around 1:10.. so, start rubbing ur ass off from now onwards..:)
once again.. atb to all.
cheers,

@suniakashjyoti ... Thanks for the useful insight sir .i have got iim i call atlast..can you guide us through the wat/pi process ... sir, can u refer to some useful materials which will be useful for wat process ...

I totally agree with you when you say "Every top B-School in the world worth its salt does that." But you are forgetting one thing, every top B-school in the world would not go on admitting Male IT engineers from India. They do have the luxury of having access to a diverse pool of applicants in a 'real sense'.

Moreover, aren't we forgetting one more thing that is really important here. ALL TOP B-SCHOOLS IN THE WORLD WOULD NOT GIVE YOU AN ADMISSION UNLESS YOU HAVE 3+ YEARS OF WORKEX. In a country like India, where one starts to think about marriage, family and so many other things after 3 years of workex, where people want to do an MBA right after graduation, freshers or limited workex people will have no other choice but to resort to their academic profile.

You should watch shows like Apprentice, where the students have collected 50,000$ as part of their charity project, have done things in school you wouldn't even dream of in professional life. After all, how many of us are exceptional in extra-currics in school/college. SOP evaluation will mostly help the people with work-ex. What about freshers? What about everybody being from IT sector?

There is no end to this discussion. Even though I do agree, the system is skewed - it is not perfect. But given the circumstances, Indian B-schools have to resort to what 'works' at this time. They can do better, but what they are doing cannot be considered wrong if you consider a whole lot of things.. ISB being a B-school, truly on the international model, does what you suggested - Coz it does not accept freshers, unless they have done something like collecting 50K$ in school :D

Think from a hiring company point of view. For a Credit-Suisse or Unilever or Nestle, you are same if you are from India or US. All that they want is people who have some good understanding of what real life is all about. you are married or not or from IT or not. And notion that SOP helps freshers is grossly unsubstantiated. from the top of my head I can quote couple of examples of where your so called IT people have worked with good NGOs and doing pretty good work. There are freshers from normal colleges getting involved in works that make a difference.

I truly believe that Freshers should get admitted to a MBA course only if they have learnt what real life is. The kind of challenges that it throws. There are ample opportunities to learn that. A fresher who has excelled at something that he does, like Having a Rock band. A fresher doesn't and shouldn't qualify because he/she would get married a couple of years later. That logic somehow doesn't cut ice. I am married recently and I want to do my MBA now. how does it matter if you are married or not to do an MBA.

You are grossly underestimating the Indian Application Pool. if ISB can do what you are suggesting with 90% of applicants being from India, then so can A, B and C atleast.

So, my commiserations to those who were not called. Seems a lot of anger pouring out here. Anyhow, could anyone tell me any forums or anything where I could get some ideas about how to prepare for WAT/GD/PI? :\

You should be kidding me, when you say IIMs can't do what SP Jain did. IIM Indore itself says people with CAT OA>90%, VA & QI>85% are around 10000, by that number we have around 8000 people if it is OA 90% and VA& QI>90%. Then IIMs can invite for a written application from all these people and evaluate them based on that. I am sure IIMs would be OK with evaluating 8000 profiles. Every top B-School in the world worth its salt does that.

All that has to happen for this process to work is prepone CAT by 2 months and conduct it in Aug-Sept and release results by Nov. That shouldn't be a major issue. Admission is anyway a 12 month process.

In the current process, IIMs are losing out on many quality profiles. I have a friend of mine who has 99+%le and who has started his own company. He failed once and then he started another venture. He has applied to other B-Schools like Kellogs and NYU. He gave CAT to test waters. Its utter ridiculous that IIMs reject his profile bcos he has some 7.5/10 at IIT. Who gives damn about his %age some 5-6 years back. All the B-Schools/companies across the world would consider his recent accomplishments. Thats what should matter. What you are. How have you learnt from your mistakes of past. Thats the purpose of SOP. SOP should be a part of shortlisting process.

And as for me, what would I do??!! Well thats pretty simple. Have only C and L calls at 99.55. So can't do much except for preparing my best for them.

I have a very good job right now. I have been working with one of the Equity Research team of one of the largest banks for 4 years now making a pretty decent sum I guess. Will complete my CFA and FRM this summer. Gave GMAT anyway. Have 740 there. So will apply for the other top Univs. To Hell with CAT and IIMs

No call at 99.99 %ile....... :).... Any comments :D


BTW: i have a b.tech from IIT ....if that adds to profile....guess not ...

WTH !!! This is so not fair !
Wot are your acads btw ?

Rightly said i mean they can give 25% admission to a 60%iler and below 50% in 10th/20th to 25% of population of india from the directives of government. But ur friend who has so much to its credentials lost the chance since he has 7.5 cgpa

FOD DALA BHAI...BEST INSPIRATION I CAN GET AT BEIN REJECTED FRM IIM-INDORE AT 99.2!!!!!!THANKS ALOT...

Not shortlisted, don't care

My date is with IIML on 3rd March and IIMC on 20th March. Just hoping that I convert one of these two calls, or FMS if they decide to call me on a lowly 99.99 percentile.

Rohit,
But whr did dey mention tat VA has 30% weightage.

Dude, I think even the Super Star Rajnikant can't answer that.

5/6 calls to the old IIM's PGP programs... Those below 99.6 should start a new term like Club Eye (KLABI) rather than a Black Eye... Thank god, my past helped me..

CAT - 99.37
QA - 98.77
VA - 98.12

Xth - 92.7 (CBSE)
XIIth - 89.3 (CBSE)
Graduation - 8.41 (IIT)
Workex - 28 months

Even though this might not resonate with the feeling in this thread, but I am disappointed (though a frnd told this to me before that I won't get C when he heard my CAT score on d day of results) to have not got a call from C. Having shown excellence through out life can be a criteria to judge somebody. Even though I agree performance in the exam which is administered by IIMs should be a criteria, but it cannot be the sole criteria because this is not like Medical or Engineering entrance exams where luck cannot play a big factor. Here, luck does play a big factor and to compensate for that randomness, and to judge an individual as a whole, one needs to resort to checking academic and professional scores.

Someone in this thread rightly pointed out that there is too much competition. The system does not give you chances to rectify historical mistakes.

But then again, in a country where 2 lac students sit for a exam like CAT, the admissions committee has no other choice but to resort to objective measures to judge overall performance. They want to be as close to the international model by trying to judge performance throughout your life, checking your professional experience, and diversity (all international institutes do want that - so I totally agree with what some of the IIMs are doing, even though I am a male engineer myself). Being subjective by evaluating profiles can be done by institutes like SP Jain where only a proportion of the CAT takers apply, but IIMs do not have that liberty coz it is not feasible.

You should be kidding me, when you say IIMs can't do what SP Jain did. IIM Indore itself says people with CAT OA>90%, VA & QI>85% are around 10000, by that number we have around 8000 people if it is OA 90% and VA& QI>90%.

I understand the frustration. It is disheartening and heart-breaking. I would have reacted the same way if I had been in your place. In fact 3 years back I was feeling exactly like this on being denied a call from IIM A and B. And similarly there were 99.9x guys not getting calls from IIM A and IIM B.

All I can say is that let not one exam and a few institutions affect your well-being. It's not worth it. Build on your profile and work towards your end goal. MBA is anyway a means to an end, not an end in itself. Also its not the only way to achieve your goal either.

Keep you chin up and move on. Focus on the more important things in life. May sound preachy now but these are exactly the things you will realize a few months from now. It doesn't really matter.

Well that explains it I guess....also silences those who are crying over their gender..

After calls from IIM A,L, and all new IIMs its amazing that I dint get a call from IIM-I. That too when I have 85 85 in class 10 and 12 both in CBSE and 80.4 in B.tech. so what crime did i do ???? :-(

anyways I might have not even joined IIM-I...they dont deserve me either!! Screw it!!

I M NOT A senior
just a looser like all others. But if u hail frm deemed uppaer caste & iim holds same criteria again next year then u have 0% chance. (strictly my thinking.)

tarun1989 Says

Though i got in ...got the call at 98.6 , but reall....ly sorry for guyies scoring top 99% losing out....IIMs are such hypocrites....ek baar galti ho gayi kabhi 10th , 12th ya graduation mein...toh hamesha ke liye bhool jao IIMs ko , aur classes mein phir humme leadership and manergerial qualities sikhate hain .....and virtues of perseverance.....aur SIBAL aake TV pe bolta hai...we are introduciing grades system in 10th and making it optional, and steps to be taken to be remove stress from engineering students......hyprocricy down right:banghead::banghead::banghead:

I am not defending the IIMs but a different point of view - " Ek baar galti ho gayi CAT mein but I have been a brilliant student all my life....I have 99.4 but your cutoff is 99.5...does getting 0.1 less make me less capable?"

So there are arguments on both sides..

In general people should give less emphasis to the CAT going forward...CAT is going the GMAT way where it will be an all year round thing with people in particular range of percentiles/scores will stand a chance (with no guarantee) and the profile of a person will see that person through..as is the case in a lot of ivy league colleges in the US and top MBA colleges in europe

What do IIMs want?super-heroes? or people who have NEVER seen failure/bad-results in life. sad. basically someone who did "badly" (even 80s is bad now eh?) in the past should never even think of having a better future. bleh. and then they talk about BRAIN DRAIN. at least call more people! I know the competition's bad, but why cant more people be called for PIs. How does a person's performance 6-8 years ago decide his/her future. So angry.

The criteria of shortlisting have amused many a puy ! It only got funnier with Ahmedabad using a multiplicative factor (the only reasoning can be that their keyboard didn't have any other symbols such as +,-, so for the heck of it they used an *). Still it's decent I guess considering the fact that it can only get more funnier the next year if they award 4 points to 90+
A hypothetical scenario
a guy having 89.9% will have an AR of 3*3*3 = 27
a guy having 90.1* will have an AR of 4*4*4 = 64

Though i got in ...got the call at 98.6 , but reall....ly sorry for guyies scoring top 99% losing out....IIMs are such hypocrites....ek baar galti ho gayi kabhi 10th , 12th ya graduation mein...toh hamesha ke liye bhool jao IIMs ko , aur classes mein phir humme leadership and manergerial qualities sikhate hain .....and virtues of perseverance.....aur SIBAL aake TV pe bolta hai...we are introduciing grades system in 10th and making it optional, and steps to be taken to be remove stress from engineering students......hyprocricy down right:banghead::banghead::banghead:

5/6 calls to the old IIM's PGP programs... Those below 99.6 should start a new term like Club Eye (KLABI) rather than a Black Eye... Thank god, my past helped me..

CAT - 99.37
QA - 98.77
VA - 98.12

Xth - 92.7 (CBSE)
XIIth - 89.3 (CBSE)
Graduation - 8.41 (IIT)
Workex - 28 months

Even though this might not resonate with the feeling in this thread, but I am disappointed (though a frnd told this to me before that I won't get C when he heard my CAT score on d day of results) to have not got a call from C. Having shown excellence through out life can be a criteria to judge somebody. Even though I agree performance in the exam which is administered by IIMs should be a criteria, but it cannot be the sole criteria because this is not like Medical or Engineering entrance exams where luck cannot play a big factor. Here, luck does play a big factor and to compensate for that randomness, and to judge an individual as a whole, one needs to resort to checking academic and professional scores.

Someone in this thread rightly pointed out that there is too much competition. The system does not give you chances to rectify historical mistakes.

But then again, in a country where 2 lac students sit for a exam like CAT, the admissions committee has no other choice but to resort to objective measures to judge overall performance. They want to be as close to the international model by trying to judge performance throughout your life, checking your professional experience, and diversity (all international institutes do want that - so I totally agree with what some of the IIMs are doing, even though I am a male engineer myself). Being subjective by evaluating profiles can be done by institutes like SP Jain where only a proportion of the CAT takers apply, but IIMs do not have that liberty coz it is not feasible.

i meant no IIM indore call

Guys I m planning to start a campaign whereby I'll go to different schools and start strictly telling the students of class 9 either study now of dont study your entire life, cause if later in your life you plan to study hard and do something for your career then the IIMs ARE NOT GONNA LET YOU DO THAT...

u shud tell them that they need 99+ from birth till graduation in every class...otherwise dont opt to be a male/general category/engineer .....

Guys I have cracked the code... The IIMs are trying to bring a balance in the sex ratio of the country.. Previously the uneducated Indians used to kill there girl child at birth, now the educated ones, knowing the consequences will kill there male child at birth...

WAT is written ability test where you will be given an Article to summarize and few other essays etc to write.



I think you lost out on VA, as the weightage given to VA was 30%.Rest everything seems decent.
Dont get dejected. There might be better opportunities for you in the future.
