[2013-2015] IIM Raipur call getters discussion [OFFICIAL]

at 98.62 can i expect to convert at least 1 iim unless i have a disastrous pi??

@akhil777 Sorry dude, do not be under this impression. Last year an aspirant with 99.90 was rejected by all 13 IIMs!!!. And there are numerous such instances which happen every year. So, prepare such that you dont fall under this category. ATB!!! :)

I have a qn regarding my work exp. I worked for 3 years in a BPO but it was before I completed graduation. So I din't mention it while registering for CAT. Can I mention that work exp in the IIM forms? Even if they won't consider it, I would still like them to be aware of that info.

If you have necessary certificates you can mention it in the forms.

Post shortlist Performance in WAT/PI is all that matters. Percentiles doesn't matter much.
Lost my admit card, the one with which i went ahead with the CAT exam...Will that be an issue during the IIM's interview process ? I have my Voucher and the bank statement with me...also copy of my admit card is there in the gmail but the one with which i wrote the exam is lost...hope they dont disqualify me from the interview process ???
Please help !!

@shis0821 Were we supposed to keep that admit Card??? I never knew! I too don't have that I think... Anyway, it was just the printout of a mail...

@akhil777 rash1311 infact what i have heared is that one of the CAT 2011 100%iler did not get any converts as well. just prepare well for PI and WAT. if you nail them, you will get what you want. :)

i have dental background. so can i be asked from my acads in the interview

@AnnTreesa i guess it wont be an issue last yr my roommate didn't hv d admit card..nw he is at iim indore..

Sorry to Spam.. But to all those people having doubts regarding converting the calls.. Let me share my experience last year!!


I got OA 97.2 in CAT last yr.. General.. Male.. Engineer.. 10th-92 12th-79 Grad 7.22/10.

Last yr I guess cut off was around 97 %ile & almost 4500 general category students were called & if u calculate my composite score minus (-) my interview, I'm sure my rank would be around 4300 +.. But I was able to convert 4 of the 5 calls.. Rp,Up,Kp & Tr..

If I can convert, I guess each & every one of u can convert

As far as I know.. if u've got a call it implies that irrespective of ur score they are ready to take u if they think U fit into their scheme of things!!

My only advice to all of U is.. Stop looking at different colleges' admission criteria.. Stop thinking abt ur CAT score & past acads.. Stop doing all the calculations.. & Just focus on what is in ur hand currently!!

Concentrate on WAT & PI.. Try to know urself as much as possible & try to project ur self or direct the interview in the direction u want them to know abt ur strengths..

Congrats for your calls & All the best for your PI
