Even though converted IIM-K...but not joining...njoying mumbai life @ NITIE

so atleast one more movement for IIMK SC waitlist. njoy guys.

converted L.Already joined.spreadsheet may be updated.thanks all.

ii hv the siimilar profile and i had 13 calls ,converted all. best convert is IIM C pgdm and i am in IIM C now .and ya i am a fresher...

hey guys.. im new to this thread( well this would be my first post ), but i must say this thread is helping me a lot in many ways... ok first things first...!!
my profile: 10th : 84.2
12th : 84.2
graduation: jst completed 6th sem... i think im gonna land
somewhr around 58-60 percent overall till 8th sem.
extra- curricular: decent with internshps and all knidaa stuff...
category: sc


i think i have decent score in 10 & 10+2... but the crux of the problem lies in the grad score( and latetly i jst notified the fact tht it is much more imp. for the one to score good consistently throughout his/her life to get into top iim's).. im thinkin to go for work ex coz i know thats surely gonna give a boost to my profile..
but the thing is, with increasing competition day by day.. is it gonna effect any chances for me getting into iim's esp if u consider the fact of low grad score( sins which i commited in colge life grad score)???..
getting into iim is one hell of a dream for me.. yes ppl do come in a big perplexed situation when they jst look at the criteria for iim selection criteria, same is the case with me...
i jst wanna know what should be my mindset to go about for the preparation(esp cat)?? are thr ne chances for me to get thru the top iim's
and exams like fms and xlri if i score amongst the top percentiles or lets say above 95 to be precise?? im have big aspiration towards my mba( ofcos in the coming future)..

if u wanna do MBA that too only from IIMs... thn CAT is the only option for you... u did not share ur graduation marks and course... anyhow considering it to be engg and % to be on similar lines of hsc and ssc.... score is good enough to fecth u an iim call.... go through the sites of each iim u'll find the selection criteria of each iim for gd/pi calls.... u'll get a fair idea whether u stand a chance or not... but u shoukld definately attempt CAt... as various other institutes of good repute use cat score and u never knwo what would be the selection criteria of the IIMs in future... ATB

well you can get GDPI calls from IIMA and C for sure, if you get above 95 percentile overall with a very balanced sectionals. i know very well about IIMCs criteria according to which you low acads wont be a problem. couldnt find anything that transparent for other IIMs, so cant comment.
just work hard and get good percentile.

Bro see it is true that your academic record matters for selection in MBA. But then defending a question about a year down comes down to you. According to me everything and anything can be defended (with coherent stories offcourse :P).

And give your best . Try to secure a minimum of 95+%ile, higher the better. Your best chance would be IIM C at this moment. Give your best and leave the rest.

Yes,I belong to SC Category.
Well,probably because of my verbal percentile I could not fetch any more IIM calls.

Oops sry overlooked the VA percentile. ATB.

i would suggest u to take up some part-time job and continue preparation, truly speaking you have very good acads along with JU which is a very good college. so dont lose the opportunity.
try doing some NCFM modules also so that u get a reason to hide the gap along with part-time job.
SBI-PO will be a long process. better try for IT or coaching work.
This year i mentored a guy who had the same problem, but he finally made it to IIM Calcutta. so dont worry, just do as much as u can to hide the gap.

Thanks for the quick response.Trying NCFM Modules-I was thinking about that,will definitely do that.
Will PART-TIME job be considered as work-ex?
I said that I will not get into any IT company as 8 months experience is really nothing,someone can't even recommend my CV and all 2010 recruitment process is over-so I am actually caught between 2 things.
Still if you say then there must be a way.I really don't have the contacts.

Can u just brief me about the guy u mentored this yr?Maybe the things which he followed, I will also do the same.

Hi Tuhin,

Your acads are great. Anyways do you belong to SC category? If yes, how did you not get other IIM calls? Anyways, Surya has already replied to your queries. ATB.

Thanx in advance for the help...

And congos to all ppl who coverted calls till date.. ...

Surya Sir ,
I'm currently preparing for cat 2011 and I have an acute interest in Hedge Funds and private equity. I've been monitoring Nifty and DowJones since the 2007 euphoria and the crash. I wanted to know which NCFM Certificates would be good for me to have in my profile ?
I'm currently in my FINAL year of BBA(ms).

IMO, the best ones would be
Equity Derivatives: A Beginner's Module
followed by
Equity Research Module

these are the profile for which i-banks recruit exclusively from IIM ABC.

A "must read" article for all of you to know the status of indian education system
TEXT FROM THE ARTICLE
"Basically, most of B-schools are glorified placement agencies," says Premchand Palety, chief executive of the Centre for Forecasting & Research in New Delhi, who has previously written for the WSJ India on this issue. "They don't come with innovative ideas or path-breaking research."

In comparison, Mr. Palety says Chinese institutions give high priority to research. They have set up various think-tanks and are producing a lot more students with doctorates. "We are missing out," says Mr. Palety.

Indian schools that appear in the UT Dallas list are the Hyderabad-based Indian School of Business, which published 21 papers in the last five years, and the Indian Institute of Technology in New Delhi, with one paper in the top journals. Of the highly sought-after government-created management schools, the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta, which published four papers, and the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, with two papers, were on the list.

The Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, which is considered within India to be among the top three of India's dozen or so IIMs, did not feature on this list. A spokeswoman for the school did not have an immediate comment.

hi
Your ssc/hsc academics r decent enough to get IIM calls and calls frm other coveted institutes. But the only problem ,here, is your distant learning Bsc degree.
IIMs and other colleges under top 20 requires a full time degree course for admission.
So if u get a full time degree with good grades & CAT %ile like 99.5, nobody can stop u from gettin in2 top 20 institutes.

Regards
