Hi,
I have just realised that i have made a bad mistake that could cost me big time.In the IIM CAT application form I have entered my marks as under "Delhi" board,when actually I hail from ICSE.The editing window is long closed.Should i brace myself now for an application rejection?so disappointing it is..given that my exam went really well.:'(.Do help

only one doubt ,whats the rational behind spending 10 -15 lakh to do MBA from IIM kozikode or for that matter form any iim . with tha much amount i can start my own business and be an enterpreneur. These iim are only cheating the middle class of their hard earned money to run their business shops

Arnab sir i know that this is not the right thread for this kind of post but i want to say that u have been a great help to me and other fellow puys during my prep days and this thread rocks(with due respect to other threads).Also being a fellow kolkatan (off topic) i just want ur opinion on whether the iims (k and s) would relax their cumulative cutoffs(cat score + 10,12 results) as i m a little worried that i m a borderline case in both their criteria.(my ug percentage is 86.3 and my 10-90%,12-88%(cbse) and shillong considers 8.65 as their b.e ug cutoff and k had a cumulative 87).Delete this post if u feel it is deviating from the motive of this thread.

seniors i just gave my cat .i have attempted 28 in qa and 22 in va and i m worrying that my low attempts in va will weigh me down.i want to ask how much is needed(attempts+accuracy) to clear the 90 percentile mark in a section and also whether the sec cutoffs quoted already by the various iims will remain unaltered after the results come out.

hi. i have heard some rumours that IIM's have some software which tracks the amount of time that one spends on each question and that if one spends less than 10 seconds any question and answers it , then that question would not be considered for calculation of marks. is that true ?

akkitheaviator Says

if i have some question in cat which has all its options wrong or simply a wrong/ambiguous question, should i leave it or select the closest option ?

respected seniors,
plzzz answer my query from your personal experiences & knowledge (which are obviously quite huge)! how much can a student expect if he gets 90 out of the total 180????? i dont need the exact percentile,just a rough guess will do....

hi all,

i have a doubt in the cat percentile pattern, say cat gives 3 marks to each qns. A guy scores 15 correct qns out of 16 . He will get 44 marks. Another guy writes 24 qns in total he gets 17 correct and 7 wrong. Both of then will get 44 marks. So who will be marked higher %ile wise???:(

any senior puys please reply, is there any prefernce given for accuracy???

hi puys,
I was going through this year's and the last year's cat experience threads.
I noticed nobody less than 51 attempts had made it to the IIMs. :(
there was a time when doing 30% of the paper sufficed,but doing 51 questions in 2 hours is 1 question @ 2 mins !!
My concern is that I have been attempting 38-40 in aimcats(fetching 75-96%iles).how would i manage !!

Apart from that can someone take a guess for how much 1 should attempt with 80% accuracy in order to score 98%ile?

Hi,First of all thanx for taking ur time out for helping us...

My strengths-LR n QA
In DI m gud but cant rely on it heavily
Problem-VA...accuracy is what i was unable to maintain throughout the mock season....adding to my trouble was the fact that the pattern of my mistakes was not even similar...i.e. sometime I get all rc correct sometimes all PJ n somtimes SC..!!!
My mock percentiles(IMS Simcats) were in 99+ range mostly.

I also didn't register 4 any other test series as being a final year engineering student I knew that i wont have time to do a proper analysis of those mocks....!!!
D-Day-16 Nov(10 odd days left..)
Please guide me as to what i shud do these left over days to get the best out of me on that day(read D-DAY).....!!!

Hi,

My scores in aimcats conducted by TIME are around 74-80 percentiles....i am unable to improve further, i have 10 more days left, i have a good accuracy..what ever i attempt, i get it right i get atmost 1 or 2 wrong and i normally attempt around 12-13 q's...what is lackng is speed and i am losing it out in DI .....and the biggest worry is section 2, sometimes i am well past the cut off and on some days its too low, my accuracy is around 50 percent in section2....and my vocab is poor my cat is on NOV 14th !

Please guide me and help me....I want quit my job this year and this is it !

Regards,
A.
