The Exact Cutoffs as such cannot be predicted right now.This is the first year,VGSOM will be taking candidates only through CAT scores.Previous year ,the admission was based on both JMET and CAT.
The calls are based both on your CAT scores and profile.So,it becomes all more difficult to say the cutoff percentile right now.
There won't be any problem if you apply after your CAT results.:)

As per your post, the school will be giving profile based calls? Can you please elaborate or share the weightage that will be allotted to each parameter such as past academic performance, work ex etc.

Also, please share the intake capacity for the batch 2012-14.

VGSOM will be giving Profile based calls.:):)
It consider work-ex and application rating.Having prior work-ex is not mandatory but then it surely gets some weightage.Post qualification work experience in industrial organizations is given due consideration.
Now application rating considers aspects like CAT scores, academic qualifications, academic performance, professional certifications (if any), work experience (if any) etc.

See,that's what I am saying.Last year both CAT and JMET scores were accepted and a normalization process was followed to bring both these scores at par.Now,2 scores were accepted last year and this year being different since all the calls would be through CAT only, so it would not be possible to tell/predict the exact cutoffs now.

There's no minimum criteria for 10th and 12th percentage but then you must have first class Bachelor's degree in Engineering/Technology.
So, you can apply to VGSOM :):)

Go to the websites of the IITs which provide MBA degree.Some of the IITs have already declared their application process,last date to apply,eligibilty and other details in their website.A close look at the websites and also at the individual threads at Pagalguy would provide you with all the necessary details required.
