Can someone Please tell me is summer placement/Final placement (in the future )for MBA is separate from B.TECH Placement .

Hello,
The placement for B.Tech and MBA will be handled separately even though the placement cell is common. It has to be handled separately because the profile of companies for B.Tech and MBA will be entirely different.
Thanks and regards,

It means u should have 60% in Xth and XIIth also and non enginners are not eligible? please anser

NITC selects only B.Tech / B.E. / B.Sc(Engg) / B.Arch graduates. There is no cut off for X, XII and graduation marks. A pass in all the three is enough.

It means u should have 60% in Xth and XIIth also and non enginners are not eligible? please anser

Thank you very much remil..
Am expecting a score somewhere in the range of 85-90%.So can you please tell me what was the least CAT score cleared last year, in general quota?;)

Hi John,
The lowest CAT score that made into the GENERAL list was about 79%ile, but with a very strong performance in GD/PI and work experience. That means even with a bit low score, a good show in GD/PI can make you through. But the situation has changed now and we are expecting more applications this year and in that case the cut off levels may go higher.

Thank you very much remil..

Hi Remil,

CAT score contribute to how much % in final score.
What is the % contribution of other factors towards final score.

Thanks

Hi John,
CAT score is given a higher weightage than the academic performance. But the real scenario where CAT score plays a lead role is when the students are shortlisted for GD/PI. As of now SOMS admits only 30 students. If approved, it may rise to 50 for the coming batch. Out of this exactly half is from GENERAL quota. So as of now, only 15 will be selected through GENERAL quota. The competition becomes extremely tough and a higher CAT score can give you an upper edge than the competitors. The CAT cut off for the 2010-12 batch will be decided after analyzing all the applications. We are planning to set the cut off for attending GD/PI as 80. But if there are too much applicants clearing this criteria, the cut off may rise further.
Still, go ahead and give your best for GD/PI once shortlisted.

Hello John,
There is no separate quota or cut off for Keralaites. The admission process is totally based on CAT score, Academic Performance, work experience, GD and PI performance. So keep your fingers crossed for a good CAT score :clap:

Thank You knightrider1 for your appreciation.

hi remil

krishna sandeep

Hi Krishna,
I'm here with a quicker reply now :o
Already we have decided about hyderabad and calicut. Still thinking about more centres in south. A decidion is yet to be made about this. Chennai and Bengaluru has equal chances as of now. The distance between NITC and Bengaluru (it takes just 7.5 hrs by bus) is a real disadvantage for the city, as Calicut is a sure venue for GD/PI under any conditions :)

Can u please tell us about the required Cutof?? How was the placement2009(detail).

Thanks

Hi,
The current batch (2009-11) is the very first batch of SoMS, NITC. The intake is just 30 engineers. Cut off for this year has not been decided. Last year (2009-11), almost 80% (12 out of 15) of the students in General category has a CAT %ile > 80.

All that matters is your weightage score of CAT + Work Exp + Academics + GD + PI

Regarding the placements, we are optimistic about landing in a safe arena. :-P
Please get back if you have any queries.

hai remil

Can u elaborate on the cut offs, batch size, selection procedure and all..!!

Hi,
SoMS NITC is offering an MBA exclusive for engineers. The intake is just 30 out of which 15 seats are under OBC/SC/ST quota. The admission for 2010-12 is based on the CAT score (no JMET this year) and weightage will be given for work experience. The selection will be made on the basis of five factors including:
1. CAT score
2. Work Experience
3. Academics
4. Group Discussion
5. Personal Interview

There wont be any sectional cut offs. Only the overall CAT percentile matters. 25% of the current batch are freshers. So that doesn't mean that you need to have work experience.

Please get back if you have any queries
