Does TAPMI shortlist only by cut-off scores in CAT/XAT/GMAT/GRE of candidates for second stage (GD/PI)?
1. No. For Admissions 2012 TAPMI intends to go in for profile-based short-listing for GD/PI, which means that due weight-age would be assigned to components like Academic record/ Professional qualifications /Work-experience etc while the short-list is prepared.

Does it mean that CAT//XAT/GMAT/GRE cut-off scores would be different for each candidate?

Nidhi,
Any idea why people from Mumbai GD/PI centre are asked to check results after 15th March as last GD/PI slot is in Delhi on 7th April. TAPMI might have given sufficient calls to exceptional candidates. Now, the final results should be declared only after 7th April, correct me if I a wro...

NO! And please don't be so apprehensive of your slot. Take it this way: The panelist would be fresh and ready to listen to you with interest to whatever you want to say. I had a noon slot and converted and another one from the early morning batch converted as well.
All the best
