thanks dude here are the vital stats, i've got calls from TAPMI, BIM, SDM & waiting MICA , which is a formality coz my VA scores are 99.9-XAT, 99.6-CAT.
Well i am a biotech graduate with 64% marks.Anything else?
hey i have seen several guys missed call from sdm just coz they got under 60 in grads....
this shows sdmimd is a smart bschool which starts management lessons from admission process itself
any bschool which look for candidates with 60+ marks in grad specify it clearly while advertising the admissions
.....if any body has any doubt ,check ifmr and iit advertisements.....
for all those which talk about grad percent with out specifying in ads are just doing the business....
with the only aim of making money...
whether it is a society with 40+ institutions or not( as a friend posted) , money is all they look for..
OTHER WISE THEY SHOULD HAVE SPECIFIED IN ADVERTISEMENT THAT ONLY 60+ NEED TO APPLY...

This whole discussions going on with regard to 60 % cut-off is not complete.I will add something to that.....
1. 60 % is not a n absolute cut-off and it is not absolute by itself(see 4).
2.Many people have been given calls who have just above 55 % or more.(Exact details are not known) but three candidates are there,whom I personally know.This is again based on their excellent work experience or other factore.
3. Most of the B/B+ institutes are following the same(but they are not publicising this policy) while they select candidates coz the institute is liable for placing those MBA grads with very poor grad academics which the people who post here never consider.
4. A 51 % grad from Bombay university is far better than a 70 % from some other universities, and so the institute cannot make 60 % an absolute cut-off.

I request you guys to please consider the above while you post such messages.

tats unfair... der are many who are dammn good in studies but dont score in xams... whut bout dam eh ?... though 50 percent ... score criteria is reAs0nablE..

Hi! junta

Lots of hot discussion is going on.
I know the mistake is from our part bcoz institute has not mentioned the 60% criteria anywhere before shortlisting the candidates but believe me guys institute has no malicious intentions.
During our placaments many major companies have asked for 60% criteria and companies like Infosys has recruited 30 students in one shot. Now i think u people can understand why institute is emphasizing on 60% criteria.
I understand that the method of implementation of this criteria is not right and for that i had spoken to admission cell, they have assured me that from next time this thing will be taken underconsideration.

yaaro now i think lets stop arguing on this issue and lets do some better work.

hi every body,

i had my Gd/Pi today at chennai.
The Gd topic was : Recent turnaround in the Indian railways.
Essay Topic: The WTO and India

My contribution to the Gd - Cost Cutting Employed , Environmental issues (use of mud cups), Auto up gradation ,ATM Machine Installation and Online Booking.

all the members had a share of the talk time..was a smooth GD.

The PI was the area of concern , They asked me mostly irrelevant tech q.. about accounting,balance account(me doing my B.E. comp science),deferential equations use in application development.. etc and it lasted only around 10 mins.( I am really worried about this 😞 )
