:)

@swathi65
u hv a good profile....hw abt ur accuracy in VA..?

around 90
@sonindia

@swathi65 Sit back and start your GD-PI prep in full swing!! If not the oldies at least the new IIMs will give you a call. But I'm sure you'll also get calls from few of the old IIMs. :)

whats the estimated %ile i can expect 25Oct:


sec 1 -> 15 (All correct i thnk hopefully)
sec2 -> 27 (Atleast 23 i think)

Acdas ->
Xth = 89.8
XIIth=88.8

Grad=86.0

You are also asking for estimation :O. You are well aware of the fact

Yaar you never know prometric kab kya kar de. so koi estimate nahi kar sakta yaar. Just hope for the best :)
@dhiva There is nothing called "enough" or "more" for extra curriculars!! And frankly it doesn't matter whether you have more or less bullet points. What is important is how you convince the interview panel that you're not another case of "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"!!

They'll be looking for dynamic candidates who can multitask, work in a team, lead a team etc. Basically, do not just studies but take active part in other things happening around.

Again not having work exp is not a matter of concern. There are 1000's of freshers joining for MBA. What matters again is how you'll be a value add, an asset, as an MBA and to the batch they institute is putting up. And that depends on how you speak and convince them with your answers to questions answered!!
@ajaygovindg ...will i get newer iim calls ???..is it possible..but when i read the chatscript many have attempted more than 20 in quant and my attempts are less i guess...plz reply ...eagerly waiting...???

@ajaygovindg.....friend i m predicting dis score as der are many on pagalguy forum who have attempted 20+ in section 1 and with greater accuracy....i m hopeful between 80-90...i m thinking now of applying to FORE, LBSIM, DSE(MHROD & MIB),IMT and BIMTECH.....dat IIF institute wich u mentioned,i dnt have any gud feedback on it so not applying for it.....i guess the list sufficies...if u have any other valuable suggestion, u r alwz welcome:)...thanx again man for d reply:)

Will keep adding to this. Do let me know if any of this is incorrect (or extended) :)
@swathi65 Considering that all institutes are looking for diversity I guess yes, there is a chance that you might! Will have to wait and see. I'm not saying anything for sure or giving false hopes. But then there is a possibility. :)

Anything more than 95.. !!

Apply to

NITIE (If you are an engineer)
XIMB
IMT
MIB/MHROD

For back up --> FORE, LBS, UBS, NIRMA

Rest options can be explored after CAT Results.. !!

@Dexter25 People on PG are a limited subset of the actual CAT takers. I assume this is your first CAT attempt. 😃 Happens the first time. One expects low based on posts by 30-40 people in PG or elsewhere and finally when results come he/she gets much more than expected. Again not trying to give you any false hopes. But don't become conservative on applications based on what you see others post here! All the Best :cheerio:

IIF? When did I suggest that? You were asking for the deadlines for that! I was asking if you applied for IIFT!
@avinashkrjha :thxn sir 😃
@ajaygovindg ..whch b schools should i apply to be on a safer side??
