Je n'en reviens pas !! ( I had to dig up 'Dondo' to remember this phrase !! )
IIM I & K have deemed me unworthy (Well it was a long shot with a 96.94) . I'm seriously contemplating on taking up sport climbing, you know- the adage - two birds with one stone - a bullet for my CV & the only other way I'm gonna get into any one of them !!

@CatAspirant742 This is my personal opinion !! You really can't correlate one's AIMCAT/SIMCAT or any MockCAT scores to CAT... Unlike the paper & pen CATs of the yesteryear, the new online ' normalized CAT' is a totally different being "Mocks should & must always be treated as mocks alo...
You really can't correlate one's AIMCAT/SIMCAT or
any MockCAT scores to CAT... Unlike the paper & pen CATs of the yesteryear, the new online ' normalized CAT' is a totally different being
"Mocks should & must always be treated as mocks alone & not as a benchmark for your final score" !!
Try not to read too much into them & take their results with a pinch of salt !! Ultimately they should only serve to practice different strategies, build up a good tempo throughout the season & more importantly identify your weak areas & temperament !!
Additionally, they form gr8 topics to discuss at PG study groups (not scores but different strategies ) & you also get to scope out your competition..
As an answer to your actual query - I took 19 Aimcats & 10 Proc Mocks 8 Aimcats from 95-99 7 Aimcats from 90-95 4 Aimcats below 90 All Proc Mocks >95 Final CAT score 96.94

Does anybody have any idea wat is the weightage given to various parameters in XLRI??? My gk score is very bad... 3.33 n essay was also not good... :( Percentile 99.92 but frnds tell me it wont help much...

This season has not been a complete bust!! The door into XLRI -BM jst opened up a bit & 'le me' the ever-enthusiast has somehow sneaked into the inner sanctum without anyone looking !!
Hoping the fathers would look the other way whn I try to scale those interview walls & have pity on my soul !!
Don't know whether i should laugh or cry !! (After seeing the cutoffs !! But will take it anyday over a 'Regret' ) Been literally on a high.. !! Reached bck home by around 1 in the night after watching Jack Reacher with mes amies , got lost in the roads of Dubai & after finally reaching home , being the nerd I am , logged onto PG & got the shock of the day (As if Jack Reacher wasn't enuf ) & voila !!
My new scores read QA - 91.61 (Increased from 87.3 ) EL - 94.51 DM - 86.57 OA - 97.06 (Increased from 96.09)
Now, things are really gonna get interesting !! 120 seats & over 1000+ candidates at the very least!!...
@raku1989@seetharam7@Vineeth555@pugna@brandnewrap@pradyothcjohn You guyz are already miles ahead with prep !! Will need your help if I even hope to stand a chance in converting P.S : I am not a complete ******* , atleast one new IIM-Kashipur has decided to throw me a bone too !! So for next season, I atleast have some right (miniscule) to show my face as an ex-Kaptan !!
P.S : Was listening to Hoobastank when I got lost (No wonder) / saw the results / ran through the corridor jumping like a madman !! I definitely know what I would be listening too before the interview !!
One spam/song from my end !!

Overall XAT Percentile increased from 99.90 to 99.92... 4 more re evaluations and I might top XAT :D GK 3.33 out of 20??? what does that mean??? exam was out of 30 right? N even if i take ratio, am getting only 5 out of 30 but I am getting more...
Hope I convert especially since I am unemployed now. By the way, I still haven't done the IIM L stuff. Applied for IITD and IITB. Have some stuff to fill for SIBM P and then for NMIMS. Seems like there is time only for applying.
Dude, You are on a roll this year! The list is still half done. Lot more to add up on that. So better you put your rejects next time instead of writing the whole list

I got both the calls. But, seems like the competition reached a whole new level. The ratio of seats to call getters would be around 1:30 now. On another note, I got a GK score of 3.67 .@joethaliath@Kevin88 Check your scores people !!! QA cut off is 76

Respect
to the whole adcom team for the "XL"ent job! Very
rarely we see B Schools revising their scorecards once published.One one side XLRI is showing the ethical part of business where on the other NMIMS is concentrating on money laundering techniques by asking candidates to pay even to attend thier GDPI procedures.My OA
changed from 98.97 to 99.51. @Kevin88 Hope you made into the BM shortlists! Waiting to hear from youAnyone else got into the shortlist coz of this revision.? Good thing they have done by bringing down the QA cutoff and keeping the guys who already got the calls rather than kicking them out!

@pakki007 Increased to 97.63. Still have the BM call. Strange thing is I thought I hadn't applied for HRM. Just checked the shortlist, I have the call.

@Kevin88 edei edei over akkaathe hope the XLRI revised results will bring good news :)
@seetharam7 all i can say is, think for a couple of seconds before you answer(in PI). Otherwise you might hear very strange things coming out of your own mouth It's very likely that they'll start of with an 'about yourself' question, and they might ask you to justify your SOP..so be prepared. Also, during the interview, don't lose heart if a couple of questions go badly, you can always make up. I'm not really the person you want to ask for GDPI tips, i've attended only one b-school interview in my life..and i hadn't really prepared for it, i just got lucky :D
End term exam are going on now, i have an exam in 2 hours..and a 4 hour Marketing exam after that :D
Congrats to all the people who've got calls, hope to see all of you in awesome b-schools.. and for others, "next year is our year" (sort of my motto,being a Liverpool fan)

Been a looong time since I last posted !! Been taking up a few additional responsibilities & focusing on wrk!! Next appraisal due in 4 months !!
Will not be counting any chickens till they hatch !! XLRI has not published any news on their website about the re-evaluation nor are any students at adcom in the current batch verifying this development !!
I am not a pessimist but have gotten over the rejection & would be focusing on the next season in a couple of months time !!

99.56 And not interested in hrm. Didn't apply. And I applied Fore school cause I wasn't expecting that big a score (I have crossed 90%ile just thrice in 20 AIMCATs ). Fore is nowhere near the others but it's in the same league as SIIB, GIM, TAPMI etc. I will be applying to IITB and IITD.
