hi evrybody, been browsing thru' the site daily for a long time (anxiously,to know my result,,like many others maybe)....but never posted...
and suddenly wat do i see on the 24th........I'M THRU' 
cudn't believe my eyes.....cos' this was the only (one and only) call i had, and with engg. background and 8 months of IT experience(pretty run-ofhte-mill,kinda stuff ),thought it was going to be yet another disappointment after a pretty ordinary GD/PI, and the PI panel members aalmost trying to convince me that maybe i shud work for 1 more year and try again........
gr8 relief......gr8 moment .....
count me in guys.....i'll be thr for sure......
hey sumit......thanx for thr info... but i dont get it......is it like if all the 166 pay the fees the batch stregth wud be 166 ?? or will thr be shortlistijng again(god forbid, such crazy thngs...)
congrats !! to evrybody who's thru' and to all those joining......hpe to cu soon....
best of luck to all the ppl waiting for the waitlist !!! ..... hope all of u get a call and make it !! ...
am waiting for the letter to come ....will have to arrange for loans and stuff i guess after that !!
btw ...does IIFT have Wi-Fi connectivity ??? ... if yes then will a lap-top be more convenient ? ... i have to buy a comp anyways , so was thinking if investing in a lap top would be a wise decision ??
hey guys,
huge dilemma - IIFT or IIT delhi ... cant decide
already ditched SCMHRD hoping ill make it to either MDI or FMS but i didnt.
abt the specialization i wanna do i have absolutely no idea right now ... just know i wanna do an MBA!!
also, i have a job with polaris at hand ... thinking of cat 05 also.
cat %ile was 98.33 (90 DI 96 verbal 98 quant)
got calls from MDI, NITIE, TAPMI, FMS, IIT bombay, IIT delhi, SCMHRD, IIFT, NMIMS.
dint attend NMIMS, TAPMI
rejected by MDI, FMS, NITIE, IIT bombay
converted IIT delhi, IIFT, SCMHRD
dint pay up to SCMHRD.
so again ... IIFT or IIT delhi or polaris and cat 05??
confident of getting these calls ATLEAST again .... hands itch for another shot at the IIMs but i hate the job ill be in for a year.
pls pour in ur thoughts
thanks
siddharth

NO rankings please guys.Coz everybody has a diff perspective.Some other criterions are ur profile,specialization,workex,n faculty strength,student exchange program.Look at all these and do ur analysis.
I put MDI over SPJ,JB n FMS, IIMI n IIMK too(as some of my friends wud agree to this) for entirely my own reasons.U guys can find ur reasons.Basically all of the above instis r more or less in da same league except IIM ABC which is a notch higer.
ANYWAYS NO CONTROVERSY invited..totally my opinion

hi sidharth,
after reading ur post, i think that u shud opt for IIFT and give CAT another shot next year...the reason why i say this is because with ur kind of %ile, i think it was more a matter of luck than a'thing else that u cud not make it to the IIMs this year...u can give it another try from IIFT nexr year...join some test series to keep in touch & for practice...i m sure u'll make it...and even if u dont, u always wud have IIFT to fall back upon...
well, this is wat i wud have done had i been in ur place...rest it is ur own sweet will...
ATB!!!!
atul.

according to me you should decide for once and for all........normally it would be OK to take the CAT again but in case of IIFT....if you wanna do Foriegn Trade then you should be more than happy with IIFT.....if you dont then dont bother with IIFT at all.....

RISHI82 Sayseverybody has a diff perspective.Some other criterions are ur profile,specialization,workex,n faculty strength,student exchange program.Look at all these and do ur analysis.
my ranking for instis
A B C ( thats to add weight to my opinion)
FMS , SPJ ( coz of their alumni strength and work ex profile resp.)
L , Nitie, IIFT, XL, I, K, MDI, JB
L I K are making progress thru brand equity ( plus work ex for I K)
NITIE, IIFT do have specialisation in one field and they are pushing it to other sectors too
why not XL above them is becoz of location disadvantage as well as low industry interaction
( TISS is best in terms of industry interaction and 4+2 schedule but it is not a B school)
MDI /JB are progressing/ declining but these are more of ME TOO kind and I do not expect them to reach to A B C status in near future
Even though PG doesnt promotes B school comparison based on individual preferences, I found it to necessary after IIFT thread being converted into B school comparison thread. I hope further discussion on the topic will be held at relevent thread.
where wud IIT B come in the whole picture?
can anyone throw light what is the last day of paying fees for IIFT?
Well first of all congratulations to all those who have made to any of the B-Schools.....
Just one point I would like to add here.....once you are in B-School probably you wouldnt pay that much attention to B-School rankings as you people do now as simply it doesnt matter!!!
Just look out whats ur career goal and if you have multiple calls then decide if the insti u r targetting fits in..as no one knows tomorrow we may have a total new ranking coming out by anybody...
As for any doubts and queries regarding IIFT i would be happy to respond.
See ya ppl

hi junta,
To know about the placement details of IIFT please check out the thread...
http://www.pagalguy.com/cat/showthread.php?t=6620&highlight;=iift+placement
The above placement report is similar to that on web site......if you need any other detail just post on thread.
Sumit seems to doing a great job in this hectic time of end term exams when we are even having two examination with a gap of less than 20 hrs.
A last word,as I said earlier you are coming for a career,not a job.......in this cases if anyone feels like checking out rankings,doing some extrapolations etc in deciding going to IITD,IITB or whatever u feel like please do so as per the reasons I stated earlier.
BTW your experience at IIFT is going to be great.....
See ya people.
