First of all, we'd like to apologize on the delay in replying/responding to queries. There were a few confusions on our side and also we wanted to address all queries at once. We were in constant touch with the admission cell & the management and can present a clear picture to the aspirants. Now that we'r in a position to answer all queries / posts, please go ahead and fire away your questions.

Lets make a few things clear regarding the SCIT admissions first:

1. The first merit list has been released for SCIT today, and as per the intake specified in the website, the calls have been dispatched. (Congrats to all those who have been successful in securing an admission with SCIT. Welcome to the SCIT family.

2. All students who weren't able to make the first merit list have been allotted into the "waiting list". This means, every candidate who has attended the GE/PI process and hasn't been granted an admission into SCIT through the first merit list qualify into the Waiting List. There isn't ANY student who has gotten a "admission rejected" message.

3. If students in merit list do not take admission offer will be given to the waiting list students. If the Studetns from the waiting list also do not opt to take admissions- then it will be extended to further studetns according to the Waiting list number and this will continue. As SCIT allows students to cancel admissions even after start of the sessions ( with in one month) this practise is followed.

3. SCIT has reserved the right to disclose/declare the waiting list numbers/ranks for all students in the Waiting List / Merit list. This decision had been taken a very long time ago and is being implemented now. This is not "unprofessional" or "unethical" as the management have their own reasons for not disclosing the ranks and the same procedure is followed by a number of other B-Schools as well. However, SCIT does have a record of the rankings of individual candidates, which will be released during the 2nd iteration of the waiting list (16th March).

4. If you have noticed and followed the pagalguy threads for the last few years, SCIT has revamped the admissions process this year. There have been a lot of changes and these changes also included the way students were evaluated. Emphasis was laid on quality, rather than quantity. This was accepted by all candidates even though it differed from the previous years. Now, just because the waiting list numbers/ranks for SCIT were released last year, it does not mean that it HAS to be followed every year. Those who have been allotted the merit list need not be disheartened as they too have a chance. Please take it positively. Everyone has given their best and performed really well and thus the rankings/scorings have been done on a relative basis.

5. Regarding the issue of transparency, the decision to release the rankings for the wait-list only during the second iteration is also a decision taken by the management a very long time ago to ensure that the candidates get ample time to take a call on their admissions. On 16th March SCIT would know how many from the Merit list do not take admissions. Hence the Waiting list Numbers would be declared and opportunity would be given to the waitlisted aspirants on 16th March 2012. Also, candidates would get a clear picture of what is their predicted/projected position in the waiting list on the same date so that they can take a final decision.

6. The objective behind any B-School to conduct admission processes are to handpick deserving candidates and future students who are actually interested with all their heart in pursuing their post graduate management studies in the institute, and NOT those who just wish to pursue an MBA for the sake of a degree. Among the candidates who are truly interested in SCIT and wish to pursue their career in the field of IT Business Management, those who are in the merit list would accept their admission blindly and those who are in the waiting list would definitely check the results on the 16th of March.

7. SCIT has given candidates ample amount of time to arrange for their fees in case of selection, so there would not be any hassles from the candidate's side as well. The fee structure specified in the website holds final , and not the one specified in the prospectus. This year SCIT has also enabled payment by net-banking. Details are as follows: Fee Details

We, as students request you all to take this in a positive light and to be hopeful for your admission. We understand that there are many of you who have to commit to other institutes as well but please consider the fact that if you have given it your best and are confident about your selection, you may be offered an admission into this prestigious institute. As future managers, it is completely upto you to take a call in this matter. Keep in mind that there may be multiple cancellations of admissions and the majority of the final batch of 180 may consist of people from the waiting lists.

We shall put forth all your queries and concerns to the management on Monday and revert back with any revisions in the current scenario.

Hi knight1012,

Thanks for details which answers most of the queries from the aspirants.
If SCIT has ranks for all the students .. then why to hold it, where this simply 'increases the agony' a candidate goes through, where he does not know if he belongs to rank 1 or 1000? If you ask me personally i did perform to my potential and expected a inclusion in the first list .. but which was not the case (ofcourse i am not discrediting candidates who have been selected) .. so, what hope do i hold till March 16th?

Why wait till 16th march for giving numbers, even if all 180 dropout of admissions.... do you mean to say WL number will have 800+. If yes, why dont give a WL number now till 1000+?? What is stopping from giving a number now...

I think it is all part of a strategic decision taken by management to declare results in phases .. Unfortunately we have no other option but to be optimistic about our chances till March 16th.

Patience is the key mate

P.S: I have 5.6 years of W.E and inspite of a decent GE/PI and 50+ SNAP score,was not made to the first list

manaschoudhary Says

dude you could have asked them why wl no. is not given or will it be given later ??

I did .. they only told .. we have to wait till march 16th to get latest update.

those who have been waitlisted need not to worry as last year also a many of them left seats and as many as 5 times waiting lists got cleared.Take it as a blessing as you dont have to do any hurry to arrange the fees.Though if they had given a waiting list number,life would have been much easier.

P.S:I am also waitlisted
P.PS:Congrats to those who got selected

I just called them up .. and was told .. all have been waitlisted (who are not in the merit list) ..

another long wait :(((

Waitlisted :-(
