March 4-17,2013 for Out station centres.

GD/PI would be held in all major cities.Aspirants mostly get allocated their first preference.In some cases, due to very low preference for a centre, a centre may get scrapped and the 2nd preference would be allotted.

5.Can I change my WAT/PI centre/date?
Last year change in WAT/PI centre/date was accommodated for some genuine cases.We are not sure what will be the rules this year.If the admin decides to accommodate requests for WAT/PI date/centre changes, you have to call the admissions office and make the request(after sending a mail in this regard).

Be very discreet while calling , if the issue cant be resolved on this thread

Some details about the next round which might be helpful for all the shortlisted candidates:
The process will consist of Essay Writing, Extempore, Panel Interview, Psychometric Test.

The reporting time for all candidates will be 9 AM and the process may stretch till late afternoon/ evening.

As you would have understood there will not be any GD round.

The interview process would typically be longer and extensive.

@sugandhasinha mam i fail to understand y last year most(almost 95%) of d candidates with percentile in range of 97+ and good acads were not selected , can u explain y?
It depends on your performance in the Essay, Psychometric and Personal Interview. Now, once the shortlist based on the CAT score is out, the percentile has no weightage in your final convert.
@sugandhasinha Is there any chance of the delhi cutoff coming down? I missed it by 0.74 percentile! :/

why do they write the selection criteria as 50% and above in grad when they actually always shortlist people who have 60% and above!!!

Is IMI flexible enough to allow people to change their centres for GD/PI?

Chalo, 'change of dates' ka bhi bata dena
@sugandhasinha
Is there any facebook group for the selected candidates...If not kindly make 1 seniors....It would be helpful for all....
