Oh.. its an extremely borderline case. Your chances are very less, Cutoff for XIMB is 101% so you might miss out..

Can't you guys read the previous posts and infer what might be the cutoffs and your chances. Also Alumini have mentioned when the short list is expected. Why clutter the thread..

If people like you with such good percentile start doubting ur case, I can't understand what will happen to others! Until the time u don't pull out ur application, there is no way they can't give u a call! Also, the Lists will be declared in the first week of feb!!
Hey,

You will definitely get a call for gd/pi, unless the overall cutoff drastically rises and there is very less probability of that..

As far as applying to other colleges is concerned, most colleges accept applications till before the XAT exam. I dont think applications for any college are open right now..
You will definitely get a call from GIM too..So give them both ur best shot..

cheers,


Hey,

Hoping I'll get a call , can u guys throw some light on how the GD/PI is conducted in XIMB? What should be the method of preparation?

Well, GDs are generally based on current affairs topics. So, I suggest that you start reading up on newspapers and current affairs magazines. Try and formulate opinions about various issues, with concrete reasons. Sometimes, social topics may also be given. Abstract topics are a rarity so I don't really think you should be too worried about those. For more information on the exact topics and the type of questions asked in PI, plz visit last year's thread.

Hi,

Just wanted to know if there is any chance of an XIMB call with the following score in XAT 2009 :

OA : 98.64 %ile
VA : 99.06 %ile
LR : 97.22 %ile
QA : 71.03 %ile :(

Did go through previous posts. Am slightly pensive coz of QA (obviously 😉 ). Is there a chance at all or is it a hopeless case? :(
Are they rigid when it comes to sectionals or can the overall score make up for it?

Am a general category candidate.

Do reply. Thanks.

Sorry, I don't think U would be able to get a call at this percentile.

A piece of Info which I got from the admission's office!

With the increase in number of applications (around 20%) as compared to last year, the cutoff increase is definite which might to be the level of 97.5 OA ( no info regarding sectionals) ! They are also having discussions on the increase in the number of seats to 180, in that case the increase would be lesser but for sure would be greater than last year!

Also, as mentioned earlier the shortlist will be out sometime in the first week of feb, and the GD/PP process is expected to start in the 3rd-4th week of feb.

Hopefully this would have answered most of your queries.

So from 96.2 to 97.5? thats 1.3 percentile points. even if that were to translate to 2 percentile points per section, 80 across should be enough. 😃

Hey as I had mentioned earlier, it depends on their decision regarding the number of seats, in case it rises to 180, definitely the cutoff would be less than 97.5!

I don't think with percentile rising this year, there is any chance of you getting a call with low QA percentile! Still, hope for the best!

Good Luck

Hi Puys !

find the link below... which contains info of the last 2 yrs cutoffs of XIMB ... for both orissa category and general ...
I guess it is the mandatory info for aicte approval...
contains the list of ppl who were called for the interview and their scores..!!


http://www.ximb.ac.in/ximb/index.php?id=239

One interesting thing which i noticed was almost all the ppl who were called for interview had an almost equal GD-PI final score...

one of my friends had been to the GD PI lastyr & he was very dominatin in the GD but surprisingly his score is decent !

Now u r free to draw further inferences..

Final selection is not only based on GD/PI score. It also has other components like ur XAT score, work-ex (if any), acads (to a certain extent) etc.

I found some discrepancy in their Report..

A guy named Kenneth Noronha was the last one to get an offer letter last year, and that too on 20th June, i.e after the start.

But his overall marks as they have mentioned (XAT + GDPI) are better than atleast 30 people. If that was the case, how come he got the last seat..

I was browsing through all the threads of 2008 and compared marks of most of the people.

I just think that they disclosed this report as they had to but the criteria of Admission are something else..

Anyways just my 2 paise, others can assume anything..
