SECRECY SHUD NOT BE THE PREREQUISITE FOR BEING ELITE....
AJ boss
PPl wid low Ga/VA hv got in.. true... but if u hv noticed .. all have good quant score
thr may be other reasons.. but this sure is thr
so r u trying to say only QA was important and other sections not then why have them in first place in the paper....give a paper with 175 questions on quant and then select right.....also me never said that quant is not considered it is so very evident that only it is considered isn't it...and btw what is diff between 95.08 and 94.98....not much than is it justified to reject a person even if he/she has a gr8 score in other 2 sections....(this was just an example and not anyone's score)

m not arguing for the XLRI committee nor am i putting Quant as "THE" most imp section.
All m saying is tht the current was evidently on quant only.. n i hv also mentioned tht thr may b other factors.. n atlst m not aware of tht.
No hard feelinds dude..

Just think whether 95 isnt too high as a cutoff????ever heard of such cutoffs in CAT or other exams? Believe this is the first time sucha athing has happened and thats why ppl here are breathing fire.
whaddya say is it fair 4 a guy with eng - 99.72, gk-99.5 and qnt-91 to be left out and qnt-99 eng-85,gk-45 to get in jus bcoz they CHOSE TO MAXIMIZE
their scores in different ways. Mind you that this score maynot always reflect that one is better than other in QNT but may jus depend on how much one attempted. So infact one is being punished for trying to be sensible and managing his paper well. Isnt this wat management students are expected to do DUDE.
Believe me this year XLRI is planning to set up some secret mathematics labortary which will produce Sakuntala Devi clones
guys can ne1 explain this?
qa 36.89 60.15 99.22
va 29.23 45.24 86.8
gk 10.49 15.29 65.34
oa 28.77 62.41 97.31
first of all i am not against ne one and if i am offending ne1 i am sorry...but if xlri is concerned only with quant y the f*** did they have other two sections?
Whatever may be the criteria.....but I think they expect the candidate to do well at least in verbal..no hard feelings........u haen't cleared the cutoffs in two sections dear

it does sound weird...no dbt.. but the fact remains tht they hv selected ppl based on Quant ( which did hv sm logic based Qs also)
n this trend i hv observed in quite sm institutes not only in India but also in US n co... tht they focus more on ur QA and Logic than ur Verbal.. which needs to be a bare minimum
They mite hv decided on a similar pattern this yr :huh:
ajain SaysTry explaining this funda or yours to someone who missed out just because of Quant inspite of having a gr8 VA and GA scores.....
Exactly. I'm a case in point. My overall percentile is 99.88th, with Maths/GK/English 92.2/99.22/99.88. And no call.
Clearly, XL wants quant gurus, but is there method in this madness? They decided to impose a cutoff of 95 on quant. So far, so good. But does this mean they totally ignore other parameters? Their reasoning is understandable if it had been a XAT of the old pattern, with sectional time limits, so that a person who gets 98th percentile in Quant is better than a guy who gets 92nd, coz both of them got 40 minutes to do it. But this time, there were no sectional limits, and far from being a criteria of competence, a high quant score may just mean that the person decided to spend some more time on quant as compared to the other sections. Had I spent 5 minutes less in English and given that to quant, I would've got the call. IIMs generally consider this aspect; I know a guy who's got 99.99 in each of Maths & English, but only 70 in DI, and has a call from Ahmedabad. IMHO, XL is using last year's criteria to judge this year's performances.
XAT had a very well-written passage on Generalists vs Too-Specialized Managers. This was clearly an allegory to developing holistic, emotionally sensitive managers, which XL claims it does, as against extremely specialized courses that are being offered by the 'modern', rapidly advancing B Schools. I really admired that passage, and the XL prof who'd chosen that to be included in XAT. In effect, they were saying, "We still focus on fundamentals, we don't get blown away by unproven modernist sentiment." But this year's call scene really turns this proposition on its head.
I've got many other calls, and don't really feel bitter, but being called from XL would surely have felt good.
This is not to deride XL in any way, I respect the insti, and honestly consider XAT to be better than CAT on many counts; but I don't really see the logic of the way they've sent out calls this year.
And I'm not feeling as somber as the tone of this post is. I'm quite perky in fact (Reading an Asterix
) But this does seem very arbitrary.
Was left despondent after XIMB rejection (spoil sport by GA)... but guess what.?. XL accepted me for PM&IR;. With such low scores it seems i might be the last person in.
Score:
QA:33.77....55.07....98.52
VA:26.66....41.26....81.76
GA:13.34....19.46....74.57
T:: 27.05....58.68....95.77
This makes me believe that there are some more parameters for prioritizing calls besides the scores.
Could'nt avoid those saline droplets of joy.
Regards All
i dont think that they considered ONLY quant....
cos i got a 99.97 percentile in quant but STILL didn't get a call due to a 74.xx in english.....
I am late to join the party too! 
Whatever the criterion was for GA though, I'm sure it was pretty low!
Me got thru. Here r my scores
QA:99.6x
Eng:99.0x
Ga:85.6x
Overall 99.83

Couldn't agree with you more buddy. The high cut off for Quant and a relaxed cut off for other sections would have made sense with sectional timelimits on. On the other hand the current scenario means that guyz who were partial to quant in terms of time allocated would have a better chance of having performed better in that section and in effect stand a very good chance of making it through in comparison to someone who has a much more even distribution of percentiles. :huh:
Number crunching for a manager is important I agree, but that does not mean that its in anyway superior to Verbal ability. Communication and impressive oration are important must bes in a manager's arsenal. So relaxed Verbal cut offs doesnt make sense. Therez an important difference between a Manager and a clerk after all, and the answer lies in Verbal ability rather than Quant.
well guys qa cutoff seems to be higher than even 95!!! i personally didnt get a call coz i had only 92 in qa, with 99 in eng and 94 in gk. overall 98.75. but gues what. a freind i know didnt get a call wih 99.83!!! so how do i complain. he had 99 in 2 and 95.1 in qa. plus a 7 month work exp in tata motors and he is from iit karagpur!!! what the hell is xlri doing man???? surely what they have done this time is UNFAIR...and it sure gives ur confi a beatingnithin Sayswaaaaaaaat!!!! then cutoff for VA must be 85 and QA is 90.
