IIM-K however says that focussing on past academics helps it get more diverse and consistently performing students.

imcoolrvid The B schools also need to do away with the 'weightage' allocation and move to profile based screening and adopt a subjective approach to evaluating a candidate. The concept of just having some Z score and normalization of scores is UTTER NON-SENSE. By saying that they can judge a student by looking at his 10, 12 and graduation marks, the IIMs have indicated that they can judge a book by looking at its cover, the number of pages, and the price. The IIMs should first conduct the CAT and then allow all above 95 percentile or say 90 percentile to send their resume. A panel of experts should scan the applications based on the overall profile and not just some board or graduation marks. A guy P who got 90% in class 10 but cleared NTSE and Maths Olympiad is obviously better than the guy Q with 93% and no other achievement. A guy P who got 79% in class 12 but studied Electrical Engineering from IIT Kanpur is obviously better than the guy Q with 90% who got admission in the local Jai Maa Durga Engineering College. A guy P from IIT Kanpur who got 75% but had 10 international technical paper publications and won many national level competitions during his bachelor's degree is obviously better than the guy Q from Jai Maa Durga Engineering College who got 90% by copying during exams, assisted by his college. A guy P who has worked for 1 year at Microsoft or Google (having salary 1.5 lacs per MONTH) is obviously better than the guy Q who could not get a job from campussing in his college and now has 4 years of EXPERIENCE working at Om Namah Shivay Call Center (having salary of 1.5 lacs per ANNUM) Sadly, under the present circumstances, P will be rated far below Q, which is an absolute shame. P, who cleared NTSE and Olympiad, studied Electrical Engineering in IIT Kanpur, had 10 international publications and scores of national level achievements, who was a brilliant student but was not very marks oriented, WILL "NOT" GET THE IIM CALL. Q, who is a very average student and has never even thought of having a national level achievement, but studied only for the upcoming exam and did nothing else, WILL GET THE IIM CALL. This is why India is not the right place for talent. It is a direct statement that only mug-up-and-vomit-out attitude is respected in India. And yes, the IIMs have STANDARDIZED the prayer for all GEMs (General Engineer Males) of the country--- "AGLE JANAM MOHE BITIYA HI KIJO"....
