Hi Vipul,
Congrats on getting a very good rank in JMET.
First of all u have a gud chance of converting DoMS IIT Madras. But be cautious, do not get overconfident because Faculty gives equal importance to GT/PI. Be sure to give in ur best that time. We also have many sub 300 rankers in our batch and they all gave their best shot during GT/PI. faculty would be probably looking at how serious u r in MBA education and how can u add value to DoMS IITM.
(adding value is probably the most cliched word in management)*
Gudluck
thanx for response....I hv one more query
Does IIT madras ask to write any essay when they call us for GD/PI.

Yes. As it says in the application form, "In an additional sheet, please present (max 500 words), your reasons for seeking admission into the IIT Madras MBA programme, and any other information that will be useful to support your case for admission. Specific examples or descriptions of situations, with supporting evidence, would be helpful."
The idea would be to write a compelling essay telling why you want to do an MBA and why from IITM. As it says, do add info about your extra or co curricular achievements and relate them to your aim of getting an MBA. You need to convince them about the importance of MBA in your career and how it will help you achieve your goals. All the best.

Hi Vipul.
U wont be asked to write essay on the spot. this has never been done before by DoMS IITM and probably same pattern ll follow this year too. But keep checking this space for any update we might have on admission procedure.
Hi,
Are we supposed to send a xerox copy of the score and rank card with the application form or just the SOP and answers to the questions with the DD do....??
Regards
No, as the application states, you need to send in attested copies of:
1. Detailed mark sheets of all 10th, 12th and all semesters/years of the qualifying degree
2. Your work experience, indicating your employment with the company or companies
3. Category certificate, if appicable.
Pls send in the application form and essay before 28th Jan, 2008. All the best.

Congrats. Your rank is good. Don't worry. In most cases individual scores are not looked at. However, this is what we as students feel. What transpires behind and the criteria decided for admission is anybody's guess. In addition to this you also have decent work-ex and extra curriculars. Do apply. You should get a call. To strengthen your chances prepare a good case for yourself when you send in the essay along with the application form. All the best.

This is information that no IIT would reveal as this would give him or her an idea into the criteria decided by them. Also no B school would like to reveal such information. So it would be difficult to answer this question. All the best.

I don't have any idea about such an upgradation. As far as I know there doesn't exist such an arrangement. I myself was shortlisted for Roorkee and then made it to Madras. There was no upgradation as such. It was the same thing like leaving admission into a B school to join another, forfeiting the previous B school's seat.
Moreover, if such a policy would exist it would by default put an IIT as rank 1, another at rank 2 and so on. No IIT would like such a gradation. So I don't think you will be upgraded to a seat in IITM if there is a vacancy here. You need to make it either in the first list or the subsequent ones when the waitlisted candidates are cleared. All the best.

You havea bleak chance of getting a call as last year cut off was 1500+ but again it depends on the no of applicants, SOP and other's rank.
But you can have a shot at IIT R and k. Do get it confirmed on there college thread.
All the best.
