@lohitgupta Hi. When you said Mumbai GD/PI will be on 3rd & 4th, is it for pre-CAT or post CAT applications?
@lohitgupta said:Information update - 1) Yes, applications have been extended till 20th Feb. This is with a view to accommodate entries for XAT and CMAT based aspirants. 2) IMT Ghaziabad will be no longer offering IT and HR as specialisations.3) Additional scores uploading (XAT, GMAT, CMAT) - I'm in regular touch with the IT team. We are doing some final testing on the portal. The facility will be enabled soon.4) Cut-off for this year too is 90 percentile for IMT-Ghaziabad..5) GD-PI calls are being emailed to candidates, starting with Mumbai centre calls on 3rd and 4th Feb. The others will be getting their calls soon. I know - it's not a very convenient process but that's how things stand as of now.All I can add at this stage is that the Kolkata, Ghaziabad processes will TENTATIVELY begin from 6th of feb.
You mention that the kolkata, Ghz €œprocess €? will tent begin from the 6th of feb. What process are u talking about the GD/PI or the sending out of letters for GD/PI?
I had another question what is the break-up of the various weight-age given to the diff components?
what is the cut off through CAT ?
@lohitgupta Hallelujah! the cut off is still @ 90. Has the Ghaziabad campus also decided to accept CMAT Feb 2013 scores? Just asking

By process I mean the GD-PI.

Collated reply to common queries.
1) Yes, applications have been extended till 20th Feb. This is with a view to accommodate entries for XAT and CMAT based aspirants.
2) IMT Ghaziabad will no longer be offering IT and HR as specialisations.
3) You will have to upload your XAT/GMAT/CMAT scores through the admissions portal. I'm in regular touch with the IT team. We are doing some final testing on the portal. The facility will be enabled soon.Please be patient.

4) Cut-off for this year too is 90 percentile in CAT for IMT-Ghaziabad. No sectionals. Only entrance test scores matter for a GD-PI call.
5) GD-PI calls are being emailed to candidates, starting with Mumbai centre calls on 3rd and 4th Feb. This is just the start of the Mumbai process. It will go on for more days. The others will be getting their calls soon. I know - it's not a very convenient process but that's how things stand as of now.
All I can add at this stage is that the Kolkata, Ghaziabad processes will TENTATIVELY begin from 6th of feb.
6) Process will be - a) document verification, b) Group discussion (including a written summary on the case, c) Personal Interview)
i)The first PART of the GD-PI shortlist is on the basis of CAT results only.
The second part of the list, based on XAT/GMAT will come up a few days later – after those scores have been uploaded and processed – all it means is that the XAT/GMAT interviews will start a few days after the first GD-PI processes start.
ii) The emails for the same will be sent out phase-wise - first for a few centres, then later on for the other centres. So don't panic if you have a good score and you don't get a call in the first release of Gd-PI emails.
iii) Some of you with a poorer CAT score might get a call for Nagpur/Hyderabad campus initially. Again, don't panic and DEFINITELY ATTEND THE INTERVIEW FOR THE SAME. Later on, if your XAT score is good, you will be considered for Ghaziabad campus also. (And your specialization preferences for the now-converted IMT-G call will be taken from you later.)
iv) If you have not given CAT but only XAT/GMAT – you will not get a call in the first list but later on.
So what it means is that you will NOT get 2 interview calls. But for final evaluation, your best score will be taken.
So, so sum up, We have the following possibilities:
a) You get a good CAT score and get the campus call you want.
b) You couldn't do well in CAT - you didn't get a call for IMT at all OR
c) Based on your CAT score, you got a call under the Nagpur or Hyderabad campus.
Do attend the interview. The interview is a standardised metric, used across all campuses.
Later, when your XAT results are considered -
d) you didn't get a call at all earlier - but now you get one.
e) you got a call for Nagpur/Hyd earlier, attended the interview - but your XAT score is good enough to qualify you for a Ghaziabad convert - then your XAT score will be considered for final evaluation and Not the CAT score.
Let's make one thing very clear - IMT is Not forcing you to join any campus. The choice is up to you.
6) Specialisation preferences – you will have to provide these in a separate form – when you get a GD-PI call.
7) CMAT queries - see point (c) below.

Thank you for the detailed post.
If my XAT score is good enough for IMT-G campus, and I have already attended interview for Nagpur/Hyd, will I get the chance to attend one more GD/PI?
