At 82 %le you don't have a chance, you will have to clear the CCAP apti test. You can check with the programme leader, I think they have another process scheduled in December , i.e. what they told my brother, who could not clear the test this time.

then what percentile is required to get in as I will be again giving CAT 2010??
And plzz also tell about the difficulty level of the test??

Hi ...I got my GD date .....on 24th May.Banglore...from which place r u?

hey stoic,

i am also from hyd.. when and how u plan to reach bang?

hi fellas,

i'm a final year student of engg. student from Kolkata gearing up for CAT 2010 and other management entrance tests. i'm interested in a career fully related to finance. after reading up a lot about CCAP, i feel this program is ideally suited for me. i will consider it if i don't make it to any top-10 b-schools in my first attempt.

i have some naive questions which i think are not answered either in this thread, the blog or the orkut communities.

1) is it possible to survive in mumbai with a stipend of 8k with no assistance from parents assuming i share a semi furnished apartment with 3 other guys? (i'm ready to sacrifice alcohol and all other non-essential things like going to pubs et al ). parental assistance is not a problem though.

2) after completion of the 2yr program, when one starts working with CRISIL, are there any chances that s/he might be temporarily sent overseas for on-site assignments? if yes, then which BU's and please elaborate.

3) assuming one works in Irevna after completion of the internship, is there any chance of transfer to the overseas offices like in Wroclaw and Buenos Aires?

4) do they reimburse the fees for CFA/FRM for successful candidates provided they are full-time employees of CRISIL after completion of the internship.

5) what is scope of getting into a major i-bank/hedge fund/PE after gaining some experience (2-3yrs) in CRISIL and some qualification like CFA/FRM/PRM for an engg. grad with and without a premier MBA?

6) i know that we are alloted a BU at the time of selection before start of the program which can't be changed during the 2yr internship. Is it possible to change it afterwards when one joins CRISIL as a permanent employee or after working full-time for 1-2yr?

These concerns are not very important for me and will not affect my decision to join in any way. I'm just curious. Expecting responses from seniors.

but it seems others have got venue n schedule in their mail

anybody else who has received the mail stating that gdpi schedule n venue would b told by next week

well no such notification in the mail regarding the City of interviews.
i guess everybody is just guessing their INterview city as per their current location because generally we get the centre near our current location only....like right now i am at Lucknow so most probably i'll get Delshi as my gd pi centre....

Selected for the GD PI round...........

(Based on the written results, just received a mail)....:clap:

Hey Friends,

Any Idea when will the Results be declared as some say that they have received an E-Mail from CRISIL that the Results will be declared on 14th May 2010, But I have not received any such Mail.
Also, how will they declare the results, I mean will Mail it across to us or will they put it on the CCAP Website?

Awaiting Your Reply............

You'll be absorbed in Crisil with a minimum package of 5 lakhs per annum.

Hey Shankla,

I want to know about the placements for the previous batch of CCAP.

And also if CRISIL absorbs the interns, how much they pay after the completion of the course.

I stay in Powai, so if you stay nearby, you can give me a call and we can meet up.

Cheers,
Sandeep

Results will be declared on 14 May. As per the mail received by one of my friend from CRISIL.

can't really give the exact dates about the written result declaration date but as per the schedule I have recieved interview rounds start frm 24th of may....so possibly a week before that.....u can expect the results to be declared of the written round

I appeared for CCAP on 2 May,2010.
The VA was a bit tuff
DI was very simple
and QA was a bit tuff
I could see some of the question in QA directly picke for old CAT papers, they didnt even change the values too.

Tips - In VA, not all the passage questions are not given serially.
And once any option marked it can changed but not unmarked.

Overall the UI was simple and the process was without any technical hiccups
