any guesses abt the cut- offs of diff IITs???

Hi got thru at 96.8. So far so good :cheers:

got call @ 95.71 %ile with both sections above 90 :cheers::cheers:

little apprehensive but was actually xpecting d call going by last year stats ..last call was made @ 95.31%ile ( read in one of the threads )

Got a call at 93.98.... I guess i might be the last guy called :clap:
93.98 pe convert karna to mushkil hai par who cares.. Collar upar.:cheers:I have MDI call...

Will try my level best....Will try to impress them so much that they change their admission criteria next year reducing the 70% cat weightage thing...


ATB to all call getters....

a pleasant surprise for me today....got shortlisted at 93.98....:clap::clap::clap::clap:

though chances of getting in are next to impossible....ill give it all i have

My first season call @96.27..... I hardly give a damn what the weightage in GD/PI is...vl give my best....this call is enough to boost my confidence....!!!! :clap::clap:

got a call at 98.27

emperork Says

First call of the season @ 96.67... ( well not calling IBSAT a call)...

same here bro at 96.67%...do you have any idea of the lowest percentile to get converted last year?

got shortlisted at 95.57...surprised...

The dream is on......

MDI - I will be there.............

First call of the season @ 96.67... ( well not calling IBSAT a call)...

least percentile of the person who converted last year?

As posted by Anand, we will soon be coming out with a FAQ. In the meanwhile, start preparation for the GD/PI. Calculating chances won't help you much. Start reading newspapers (if you are not doing that already), prepare some basic interview questions, go through your CV and remain calm. All your queries will be answered in due course of time.

More than Maths and calculation what can help all of us is preparing for GD/PI

As attending GD/PI and giving our best is our job..
Calculating and rating us is their job..

Everyone who has a call is at same level..

ATB to all call getters!

Can the seniors plz throw some light on whether these calls are overall or are they divided into PGPM/IM/HR according to our CAT percentiles??

Secondly is this true that irrespective of how excellent the GD/PI goes, its really tough to convert below 97 (last year)??

Seniors plz guide!
Thanks in advance!

can i expect to convert mdi call at 96.67....???? Academics are average...is dere ny senior to answer dis ques???
Nd do mdi encourage entrepreneurs???....

CrackMax Says

When we say 70% CAT score + 30% GD/PI/Profile, it means CAT score or CAT percentile? That would be a huge difference. Can this thing be confirmed?

yes.. i too have the same question.. it'd be great if you someone from MDI admission committee could clarify how the weight is calculated from CAT score..

Call @ 97.86 ....seniors how difficult will it be for me to convert this call being a fresher???????

Any kind of speculation is pointless, best GDPI do, and leave the rest to the admission committee.

I don't Know how CAt scores are considered but just takin your calculation into picture , some1 at 245 has got 95 + percentile dis year and at 285 it's 99 , I have stats to prove dis , now goin by ur calculation d diff in score will be ( 285-245)/450*70=6.22 , Now I don't know how dey rate profile but 6.22 is nt a difficult score to match up in GD-PI whish is havin a weightage of 30 , Now again dese are speculations and guesstimates and I don't what hapepns behind the picture , I am just tryin to show how a 95 percentiler still has hope when compared to a 99 percentiler and yes if he can beat a 99 percentiler , he is into teh game why to compete with a 100 who definetely must be havin a score of 370

+1 :cheers:
I wish we had a "like" button here..

I don't want to discourage you, but if you're wrong and they're considering CAT scores, the story is very different.

Let's say 100%ile = 370/450, and 95%ile = 220/450 (I believe that's not too far from the actual figures)

Then, the difference in the final score = (370 - 220) / 450 * 70 = 23 (approximately). Unless the 100 %iler does a truly horrible job at GD/PI and has poor academics, your chances of getting a better score than him are rather low.

Again, I'm not trying to discourage you; I just want to point out that it may not be as close as you think. That said, all the best for your prep :)

Looking at the previous years threads, i would say that 70% weightage is for cat scores and not percentiles. If that is the case this time too, people with less than 96 face an uphill battle in the gd/pi.
Still there is always a chance!!!

That's what was expected elsewhere too. But seeing percentile ruling over scores, got a bit apprehensive this time too. Anyway, if it happens then goody-good. So CAT score means CAT score.

At 94.57, it's a pleasant surprise to get a call from MDI.

Got a relief after IIFT debacle..
I will convert MDI...@99.36%

:-) These things dont discourage me anymore and i dnt live in dream world...hehehe..CAT ne meri ankhein khol di hai..
and you are correct my friend..if they consider CAT score then chances to convert for people below 97 will be tooooooooooo lesssssssss

Am in..

Rashmeyer22 Says

Bro Seen you at few more Threads and definitely I am impressed by your ability to take the fight to the last breath, u r dere in IIT bombay site , IIt-D site and IIt -KGP site with hope , boostin morales of people who r on the darker side bt percentile parameter

friend ...game is not over until its over...I tried too hard for CAT..gave everything into ..scored high in mocks...and was expecting 98%ile minimum...and atleast 99%ile in quant my strength but somehow ended up with 89 in quant ..so this is destiny ...but HOPE as u said is my strength and faith in almighty that in end i will have something good ... in end i would like to say...thanks for compliment..IIM ne nahi to puys to mera talent pehchana :clap::cheers:

I m in at OA 96.40, Q -95.49, VA 93.36

what is convert chance???

Hearty congratulations to all those who can see their SR numbers on the GDPI list. For others - dont feel disheartened i am sure you will make it some other good b-school.

We are looking at all the queries that are coming in and will get back to you with a FAQ document. So shoot all your queries on this thread. We will be right through the admission process guiding and helping out the shortlisted candidates on how you should approach the next stage.

Be a bit patient and give us some time to go through all the replies and answer your questions.

All the best

in at 95.1 ...and its difficult but i do see some chance of converting it
as 70=>cat%ile
30%=>GDPI/academics/work exp(of more than 26 months for me)
now suppose 100%ler get a call..so he gets 70 marks for cat %ile
and a 95.1 %iler like me will get 66.57 marks for cat %iler...a difference of less than 3.5 which can be covered in rest 30%ile if one has work exp(I know its difficult but quite possible):cheers:

I think 70% for the CAT score means the actual score, not the percentile.

MDI is not IIM-K. :grin:

In at 96.14
Sectionals, 92.68, 95.92.

Negligible chance of a convert, but a call is a call.

loonybin Says

Whoa... are they considering CAT score or CAT percentile for the 70% weightage? Please tell me they're not going to do a Kozhikode.

yup good question...can senior please clarify whether this 70%weightage is given to cat score or to cat%ile....If its %ile then I am in for game...but if its cat score then things wnt be easy for 95.xx %ilers like me...

mdi call for me. feels good. OA-96.4 qa-94 va-95.5 I think they are considering the point that most of the high percentilers must have got calls fm multiple iims and fms also and that's why they have given a call:seat ratio of 10:1
seniors pls tell us what wud be the weightage given to cat score in the 2nd round?? is it true that sub 97 have negligible chances??

Got the call at 99.87

Looking forward to convert it... I hope that the interview doesn't clash with Nitie's.

got in

I do think MDI looks for balanced sectionals. One of my friends with skewed sectionals missed it.
Can anybody please post the link to MDI-G's previous year GD/PI experience thread link ??
TIA.

Here you go...

2011-2013 GD/ PI List
2011-2013 GD/PI Experiences
2010-2012 GD/PI List
2010-2012 GD/PI Experiences

Can we expect the cut off of a convert to fall down as FMS and IIT B too are under CAT score?

For me, that may be the reason for more no of calls...

got in

till last yr it used to be 70+ % in all sections...may be more this yr coz there are just 2 sections

IMT-G and now unexpected call from MDI-G....guess I have a think about G's!!:shock:

Btw suprising to c some 98+ guys not making the cut...do we have sectional cut-offs too??

I have 95%ile!!!

i think ranks ver given after gdpi...and last convert was 96.9-97.1

Is this for PGPM???

i think ranks ver given after gdpi...and last convert was 96.9-97.1

Congrats to all call getters...
Does anyone know when will MDI give us our ranks ?
Last year people were given ranks based on their CAT score before gd pi...

1st call @ 96.00

got a call at 96.67....
what is the lowest percentile taken in by mdi last year??ny idea???

guess you won't get your answer.. As it has been mentioned in earlier threads.. MDI G didn't release the final cutoff at which a candidate was admitted.. Just revealed the cutoff for a call..

Anyways ATB for GDPI

Wow
"
The GD/PI process will be held in the second week of March, 2012 and the exact dates, timings and venues will be intimated on the website by last week of February 2012

almost ensures that we cant get train tickets.

still happy to get a major call
@97.95
:cheers:

Hi Puys,

Can somebody please suggest if we have to go to Gurgaon or there are regional centers ( like Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai etc.) where the process will be conducted...???

Like SP.Jain, IMT-G have such regional center break up whereas NITIE, SJMSOM do not have.

TIA.
