PLease share all your experiences during CAT. How did u find the paper overall .... No. of attempts Expected Score Expected cut offs Level of toughness of each section.
Just a few clarifications
1 ) In the poll ... negative - 1/3 for 1 mark que .. and -2/3 for 2 mark que
2) There might be difference in coaching institutes ans.. and marks may vary .. in that case use the avg .. of the different anwser keys.. Hope Most of you get through to the college of ur choices ...

hi me had lost my scorecard last yr and they sent me a duplicate ..had2 send them a DD of rs150 i think and i guess the procedure for the admit card is the same though dont know if that is applicable once cat is over but im sure they will give u a duplicate
Hi Posting here so that I might get any reply.... I've lost my admit card after seeing the results and I would need it at the time of GD/PI. I dont even have a xerox copy of the card. I tried calling IIML as it had issued it but they replied " Try looking for it again and call us only if u r not able to find it!!" Did any senior had experienced anything like this before??? Can I get atleast a photocopy issued from IIML or not submitting it at the time of PI would be fine with teh IIMS?

Hey guys i just gave cat like an another exam i hardly remembered any formula nor i used any shortcuts all i did was planning in starting 6 mocks out of 9 of cl i kept changing my strategies and for last three i stick to one which i thought appropriate for me and same strategy i followed in cat one thing i see after all these days is cat is not about how deeply u know everything its all about how u manage everything in time better is ur time managment more marks u fetch and see im expecting more than 40 without even studying or pushing myself too hard and to all of us who failed to even fetch one call like me tht if a dumboo like me can fetch 40 odd marks comeon u all can get atleast 50 isnt it so better try harder next time but in managing time rather then solving each and every question and i assure u it will be us who will be getting the calls cheers
This was my First cat.. i knew my dad wont let me work without an MBA degree so i gave it everything i had.. but i guess it was not enough.. Got a total of 33 - 40... but i wont give up people.. i wont go for any other GD PIs that i hve applied for(if i get a call).. Because that line "Sorry ...

Got a total of 33 - 40... but i wont give up people.. i wont go for any other GD PIs that i hve applied for(if i get a call).. Because that line "Sorry you are not selected" gave me the strength to "Get Selected" Next year.. i will be in an IIM after Cat 06... And i will be at pagalguy to tell you about it...

Guys, this is the time when many will taste success and many many more than them taste failure. I know the kind of disappointment one goes through on not getting a call and seeing people around you getting one but thats the way life is.
They say failures are the stepping stone to success. And one famous scientist discovered sth after 100+ failures. People recognized him when he tasted success but imagine what he would have underwent when he failed so many times. The key takeaway from this CAT is that there are many of those out there who might have done better than you in the exam. It does not mean that they are better than you in all spheres. They were lucky to deliver in those 2hrs.
Never give up on your failure. Its easy to sermonize but you hav to take failure in your stride. There is no other way. If you think that its a kind of consolation for yourself, then let it be. Be frank atleast with yourself! All is not lost and IIMs are not THE way to reach the path of nirvana!!
IIM or no IIM, 2005 its going to be, for me !! Call it lack of perseverance, or call it giving up, or call it anything else...... I just can't wait another year, I just can't wait.....for CAT 2006. 2003 & 2004 have hurt my dreams enough. So, 2005 is my last attempt at MBA entrance exams...
Wht can i say i have unlucky this time but this was my first attempt i will surely do better next time i have 1 whole to improve my weakness thts va let see there are still some good colleges like mdi,spjain,imt to come hope i get one of these

People who haven't got any calls, think of CAT 2005 as Rajnikanth's Baba. That movie flopped big-time and then came Chandramuhki. 2006 is the year of Chandramukhi for Puyites. Naan oru darva sonan nur darva sona maari~`~

I know it is hard to believe but it is fact. I could not give CAT immediately after my engineering (in 80's) due to personal reasons and then got completely sucked in my project job. But CAT was one of unfulfilled ambition in my mind. This year someone known to me was filling the form and told me that there is no age limit.
As a result I appeared for CAT with only 10 days prep. But I am planning to appear next year with more prep, only to prove myself and may be live another life with young guys like you.
Knowing your score, I am sure you got what you wanted. All the best and thanks for interest. BTW, is my post to UMAX is OK or shall I edit it. write frankly.
Congrats to all call getters. I guess with 5 down and only I to go it might well be 0/6. Its not that I expected them, but the disappointment still rankles. I guess I am only useful for posting on this thread. Congrats to all. Cheers, Sunil

This post is for UMAX, (I and you don't know each other but I am going to lecture you.) Dear UMAX, I can feel the disappointment felt by you right now. But only cowards give-up. GMAT is OK but only because you are 26 you can not leave CAT. It is never too late for such things. I gave my first CAT this year at an age 40+ and made same mistake as you (very low VA score and good other sections). I don't know your background but don't run away. You have to return like ANUPAM. All the best for CAT 2006. BTW I may also give CAT next year, only to prove myself.. Hope you take my above post in right spirit. Arun
Good Advice Sir... Cant believe you are 40.... why so late if i may ask.....
Dear Friends, I can feel the disappointment felt by many of you right now. But only cowards give-up. It is never too late for such things. I gave my first CAT this year at an age 40+ and made same mistake as some of you i.e.unbalanced score (very low VA score and good other sections). I do...

Its ok if u have failed to make through CAT this year. There is always another chance. You dont have any control over what has happened. But do analyse why u could not convert.

Compare your scores and profile with those who have got calls. Getting calls if u hav a low score in one section and very high in other sections mite be difficult. U need to hav a decent mix of all the scores. If some1 gets calls inspite of that, hez been lucky and maybe his profile is good...

our good ol thread it back on its feet... Well CAT 2005 was a sheer dissapointment... 0/6 is my tally... my QA score of 6.67 did me in... Else had very balanced scores in the other two... 21(DI) and 22.67 -25(VA)... add to that a work ex of 54 months... ANyways... I'll be too old for CAT 2006... So its GMAT for me now... But lets see... May be UmaX will return too....
You surely will return buddy.. God's great .. he'll surely set the best things for you.. take care,

Post a CAT that left me with little hope....post discussions, arguments and flying tempers on PG..post checking results on IIM sites (sniff....pardon the bromide, I know it sounds cheap..but what the hell :P) GD-PI call score... 5/6.... 'I LACK'..no B.
Had cultivated this dream of a BLACKI for a real long time...what the hell...a glass 5/6th full shouldbe seen in perspective
Congrats to all the guys who managed a BLACKI..... Kudos.. Especially Anupam...maan teri kahani is one of those jo main apne grandsons ko sunaoonga....hadh hai yaar...aage se daru peekar number na lagaya kar :D
Ciao guys..Let the GD-PI prep begin...Wait a sec..hold the prep...pop the champagne for the moment

CONGRATS TO ALL CALL GETTERS!! I dint make it to even a single call (2nd attempt)...but I gess its mostly party time in PG here...! Keep up the good work guys!! Ashish
Honestly speaking.. all the coaching institites have been wayward with their speculations..
I think anyone with 10+ in quants and Di and 15+ in english has managed to get a call.. Maybe 90%ile for quants and Di is just 7-8, but the IIMs might have given calls to people with obly 93-94+ in each section..
I guess things will be clearer when the score cards come out..
-Vengeance
I feel sorry for you ! ... None of the IIMs Apologised to you

Hmmmm...Now as the results are out....Can we do a postmortem on the methodology adopted to send out the calls or we shall wait till the scorecards are available. P.S. - Moi Score - 0/6 Looking forward to CAT2006.
