Firstly,
33 and sectional cut offs are speculations and not the real cut offs decided by IITs.

Secondly,
More than your marks, your call will depend on your rank.

Thirdly,
Your work ex, extra curricular, no of applicants etc matters.

So, as of now chill and wait for JMET rank and then v can give you a clearer picture.

All the best.

Hi ManishThe overall % should be more than 60. I think you should be eligible for IISc...I think the other IITs also demand min of 60%.

A score of 35-36 does look at the lower end. It seems difficult but you never know. Ranks upto around 10-11k were declared last year, for the entire JMET ranks declared. Don't know about the last rank for other IITs but at DoMS IITM the last rank to get in was around 1500s, with the score being around 57-58.

just a question I had....is there different sectional cutoffs by different IITs.....or is it like once ranks are declared then calls will be purely on rank basis and sectionals wont be considered..??

No IIT lets its way of selection known to anyone. So there is no way to predict the selection methods. And since last yr they are looking at min sectional scores. So I suppose there is a min of sectional score to get a rank and a call. However, your call also depends on the essays that you submit after you get shortlisted.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Akanksha,

SOP....
The form says .....
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.
In other words, most SOPs are structured on following lines:

What am I doing now?
What I want to do (..say 5 years down the line)?
How do I reach there? i.e: Why will MBA help me? (This is where MBA comes in.)
Finally, Why IIT Madras? Do a good study of DoMS, IIT Madras.

The essay also gives you enough scope to showcase yourself.
Focus mainly on

Personal Attributes: Give examples of Participations in various activities and your subsequent success
Experience, If any.
Achievements. These help
Knowledge and Skills: Any Specific Certifications or Exams you have cleared.

Please devote significant time for the SOP. Make sure it is one free flowing well written document.
Get back to us for any more details.
Placement and more.......

Placements have just concluded. Placement Team is in the process of collating the data and will make it public ..soon (Watch out for this). Frankly, we are aware of the scene and hence I can confidently say that ..the placements went just superb. :)
We cannot divulge any Final Placement related information at this moment. But I can offer you the following cues:
We had most reputed companies from following domains

Investment Banking
Financial Institutions
FMCG
IT Consulting and BPO Space
Core Oil and Gas
.. and many more

The Variety and Depth in terms of Profiles on offer this year were better.
The metrics like Avg. Salary, Highest Salary are much improved and will come out in the Placement Report.
Summer Placements is largely student driven initiative. Just like Final Placement week, we have a Summers Placement Week. 97% of students were successfully placed in initial go. Again, Summer Placements were better than ever. We were successfully able to tap numerous new companies which could possibly be our future Recruiters for Finals.
Most notably were Citibank, NCDEX, ARANCA, Avalon Consulting, Wipro, IBM, Dabur, Cognizant, Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj, Satyam, ICRA Consulting, St. Gobain, Kotak Mahindra Bank, US Technologies, Dun & Bradstreet, HP Analytics etc. The above list is only indicative.
Richer, more exhaustive and some very niche profiles were offered.
One last parting comment..... Placements are important and perceived as critical, but MBA@DoMS_IITM has much more to offer. Ask the right questions and we will help you all discover it. :)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Thanks,
Mayuresh

Yes, doms official website will help you to get the requied information, else you can check out life@ doms thread (link mentioned in my signature) or you can mention your query on this thread.

Remember SOP sees: whats your goal in life, how does your present company/degree help and how does doms IIT M fits into the picture.

@All.....Happy new year.

You can surely come and hand over the form personally at the office. However ensure that you follow all instructions as mentioned in the form and address the envelope to the Admissions Coordinator, as required.
