Hey guys i have scored 90.10%ile in CAT 2009 .I have a Call from IMT N and XIME , Bangalore .What should i do , which college should i go in for ?Also i am a fresher in my Final Sem in Engg (Comp Sc)..Help me out!!!

See guys as far as the merit List for IPMG is concerned the Crieteria for marking the students was very different:

The final over all marks does not make much of a difference at IPMG . Have a look below
Selection Matrix:
The Selection of the students based on Selection Process shall be carried out with following selection matrix including Weightage to each criterion.

CriteriaWeightage

CAT Score: Quantitative percentile as obtained in CAT
Logical and Data Interpretation percentile
25%

as obtained in CAT20%


Verbal percentile as obtained in CAT5%


Sub Total I 50%


GD & PI Group Discussion10%


Personal Interview20%


Sub Total II30%


Application Rating & Work Experience Application Rating *110%


Work Experience *210%


Sub Total III20%


Total (I+II+III)100%


I got his from the website : School of Petroleum Management

So , now some analysis of the Matrix.
Look If there are two guys/girls with the same Overall CAT score and one has scored in QA & DI whereas the other has scored in VA.
Now according to the Matrix above the person with high QA/DI Score will score over the person with a high VA Score .
This will be true even if the guy has a Lower Overall Score but a comparatively higher Score in QA and Logic/DI . This is especially true because the Combined weightage of QA and DI/Logic is 45% whereas VA has only 5% weightage. Overall CAT Score has absolutely no weightage , and it was the Overall Score that was put on the Website for the GD/PI ShortList . So it is very much possible that people who had higher a Overall Score were lower in their QA and DI/Logic Score than people with Lower Overall Score but a comparatively higher Score in QA and DI/Logic.
And so the disparity in the GD/PI List and the Final List(I guess so)
Also , i was(Was cause i am WL 97, have no hopes) an aspirant and set out to find my reason for being at WL 97 . I got the table while going throught the WebSite looking for something that might explain for my disaster .
I hope my logic is sound , i am not too confident cause i got 55%ile in Logic in CAT.Anyway i just said what i felt about the Selection Process , i am not sure if i am right . It is upto u guys to express ur views about what i have written . I might be wrong , so it is u people who have to correct me if i am wrong .
Hoping for some disscussion on this Issue.

Here goes my GD/PI experience:
Essay : Media sensationalizes matters!
Well wrote things like it is the media which is always made the scape goat for all the things that go wrong , where as it is only a medium of Communication .Also wrote how unlike the west where the whole area where a particular tragedy happens is cordoned off , this dose not happen in India.Also wrote how people play into the hands of the media by giving statements and comments and all .
Overall : Good
then the GDTopic : A case study about Raju a Satyam employee who faces the brunt of the economic slowdown and also the Satayam fiasco.I was the first and so started off , said that he should go do an MBA(was mentioned in the case study that he wrote CAT and got a decent score too).Best thing will not have to explain the reason for quitting his job,as many people leave their job for an MBA.Also it will be a good break for him.As for the disscussion , well got a few points in between . Spoke a few times and talked sense(I think so) ...
Tht was the GD.Now PI:
Was the first in :
Two professors , one lady(L) and one gent(G) and me the Bakra(B) :

G(Stunned) : Politics , why do u want to get into politics ?
B : Well sir i would like to change things in society and all that stuff
G : How will an MBA help you in your carreer as a Politician?B : Sir , managing a constituency is also a very demnading job and so i think it will always be an advantage if i have a professional Experience in it.Also sir the Job of running a country is the most important job in a country and so the people for it should be really qualified which is not the case in India.But i would like to change that and be an instrument of real , visible change!!!!
L(For First Time) : So what have u done in the feild of Politics as such?
B : Madam , i am the Secretary of my College Department.
L : So what all did u do ?
B : Told about how Rs.20,000 was always given by the college but never got used in the function in the function as the it always got sipponed off , but i ensured that the money was used effectively
L : Apart from the monetary aspect of things , what other problems did u face?
B : Well people alloted to do one kind of work wanted to do something else which was always not possible.
L : How did u deal with it?
B : Madam , accomodated the requets as far as possible but then had to draw a line somewhere as changing a schedule for a person also changes the schedule for others.
G : So which are the qualities u look for in a Politician?
B : Honesty , integrity , Willingness to serve , sense of justice , etc
G : Don't u think in these times , such politicians can't succeed ?

B : Maan , as i said after i prepare a schedule i don't make much changes to it as i feel a change for one affects everyone in the project.But the i think i should be more accomodating and should change the schedule as much as possible.
