Once the CAT results are out, IMI-K will come up with a list of short-listed candidates for GD/PI. Your final selection depends on your performance in it. Your profile is good enough for final selection provided you do justice in the GD/PI phase. The first batch will pass out in 2013. I'll let you know the average package, once their placements are done.
