as far as i know, Profile based calls were given last year. 😃

Calls will be based on a candidate's CAT score/ percentile and overall profile ....a specific cut off as such is difficult to predict

what is the requisite percentile required for sc candidate to be shortlisted for GDPI ?

VGSOM will be issuing profile based( a combination of the CAT score/percentile and the overall profile rating) GDPI calls due to which there is no specific cut off percentile as such.
@legendtim what do you mean by profile based calls?? does this mean the applicant must be having work-ex or does it mean good academics??
