Ā Hi all, Ā
I am listing my exp last year. It might provide some clarity.Ā
Disclaimer: Its just my experience which might or might not be applicable this year.Ā
My profileĀ
GEM 88/89/79 IN 10/12/GRADUATIONĀ
CAT 2018 Percentile: 99.54Ā
Work exp : 36 months Ā
My converts last year: IIMK, IIMS, MDI, All new IIMs, IIT D, NITIE
Waitlists: IIML, IITB
IIM A/B/C : did not receive the shortlistĀ
IIM l: if your 10/12 are screwed i.e less than 90 , just forget IĀ
IIM K: received and converted because of high preference to cat percentile last year 75% last year. This year they have changed the criteria drastically.Ā
IIML: It heavily relies upon your gender, academics and work ex. I remember distinctively that my score was just 0.4 marks above minimum shortlist marks.Ā
IIM S: Cat cutoff was 98.6 with simiilar academic credentials. Girls and non GEM can receive a call at at low 90s percentile New IIMS: cut off was 95 percentile but actual cut off for conversion is way above MDI: cut off for shortlist is 96 percentile but for PGPM, Don't expect a conversion for anything less than 98. I know only one person who converted at 98 percentile and many who could convert at upper 98 and lower 99 percentile. NITIE: initial cut off is 93+ in all the sections and 97+ overall. Rest it depends heavily on your interview and GDPIĀ
FMS: For GEM with 80+ in 10/12, 99.1 is for initial shortlist but for conversion you need atleast 99.7 percentile Spjimr: It's a black box. You can get a call at 95 percentile and you might not even get a call at 99+ percentile.Ā
IIT Delhi DMS: initial percentile for shortlist is 98 for general MBA and 97 for TelecomĀ
IIT BOMBAY: initial percentile for shortlist is 98.5 Ā
For IIMA, you need to have a stellar profile,last time even people with 99.8+ in cat did not get a call. Ā Ā
Hope it helps!Ā
