seniors pls guide.
Hi
Congratulations for ur result. U will get a call at this percentile. Anyone above 75 percentile wud surely get a call from the college. Converting the call is wholly on u, how well u crack ur GD and PI, there are different weightages for CAT score, GD,PI , ur acads and work ex. So if u do very well in the others then a low CAT score wont be a hindrance.
I wish u all the best

Hi! junta
it seems that there is lots of confusion regarding calls for gd&pi.;
As Surabhi has already mentioned that 75 percentile is just good enough to fetch u a call for gd&pi.;
Cutoff depends on the total no. applications received by the institute and this time the scenario has completly changed as we have received six times more no. of applications than the previous year. So the cutoff is likely to go much higher as compared to the previous year's cutoff which was 70 percentile.
Secondly weightages for different sections are as follows.
CAT Score - 40%
WorkExp & Acads - 40%
Group Disc. - 10%
Personal Int. - 10%
I think this Information will help all the SDM-IMD aspirants
All the Best
Cheers
Abhishek

Hey people
Ricky am waiting to know ur result. What happened? No queries these days.
Chalo today I will update all of u with the upcoming events at college. We are having are Asia Level Management Fest in the last week of january which also has an online game Magistry, those interested can access the link SDMIMD.
Moreover we had 30 students from George Washington University visit our college with their faculty members. This could mean some alliance between the two colleges.
Thats all for now, will catch u all later.
All the best

Hi Surabhi nice to read that post from u abt the recent happenings at SDM IMD.
Have a query again. In an old thread in PG, found that ppl have mentioned abt SDM IMD becoming a deemed university. Is it about to become so? And if so, won't that reduce the quality of education? I was very clear abt SDM IMD. But these sort of posts actually make me think twice. What do u suggest?
And how do u ppl in SDM IMD pass the leisure time as I found that SDM IMD is located outside Mysore?

Hi Sailesharun,
I dont see why a deemed university status should reduce the quality of education
!!!!!Anyway.. it still hasnt become a deemed university... and as far as i know.. theres no talk about it as of now.. will check with the concerned person and let you know...
And SDM is very much inside Mysore.. may be you could say its on the outskirts of Mysore... but... its just about 4-5 kms from the main city (not a great distance really..:) )
We do have a lot of things during our leisure time...
On campus:
- We have play TT, Badminton, Basket ball and other games
- We have a Samprati Committee which organizes discs, shows movies in the Auditorium(once in a while) and other such events
- The library also has a good collection of novels...
- Or... we just hang out at the Nescafe counter on campus
Off Campus
- We go to Planet X: which has bowling, gokarting etc
- The college is located right below the Chamundi Hills.. We drive up sometimes.. a wonderful view of the whole of Mysore...
- There is also a beautiful Lake (Karanji lake) which is about 3 kms from the college.. a wonderful peaceful place
- Saterday nights the mess has a holiday.. so.. initially when we joined we used to spend some time trying to discover new places for eating out... 😃
I guess that sums up what we do during our leisure...:)

hi everyone...:)
well.. there s been a lot of movement on Pg since the last time i logged onto the site..
With Cat results being declared , most of u would be sceptic about the choice of B school.
My batchmates here have done a very good job giving u clear picture wants going on in the campus....the placements , the management fest which is just a couple of weeks away.
Abt the GD-Pi calls.. anyone having above 72-75 should be safe to get a call.. but converting the call entirely depends on how you perform in ur GD ,Pi , ur work ex , academics.
If you have work-ex.. ur PI will mostly be on ur work n ur job preofile.. but with someone who has no work ex (like me).. will have to face questions based on ur academic background.. By the way i had a very long PI.. which went on for about 40-45 mins..
To add to the growing infra of the coll...thers a Gym n yoga centre being constructed in the campus. which should be ready in a couple of months....
And shailesh... dont worry abt the deemed universtity status..there have been no talks in the institute on this matter.... we havent heard anything abt it... i guess u saw last yrs thread..but.. dont worry..
chill..
take care guys..:)
And to my Batchmates..... Congratulations to all the 1st years on scoring well in the 2nd term...
.. way to go!!!!
Thank for that update on deemed university Sameer & Surabhi. This was the one that was actually worrying me a bit. Pretty clear now. Hm to update u guys from my part, I have sent my application form on 8 Jan from Chennai. Can anybody check and tell the status? Has it reached SDM? And guys, whats the recent info on placement. How many have been placed so far and any change in the highest / median salary offered??

Sameer, since I downloaded the form online and filled, I don't know the form number.
But my other details are: CAT registration number 8111384, DOB: 8th May 1984.
Hope this serves the purpose.
Thanks

Hi I got 69.4 percentile in CAT 2006, B.Tech (Biotech) - 82.8%, XII - 91.5% & X - 86.4% will I get a call from SDM IMD? Please Help!
Hi , abhi and surabhi
i am in my final year of engg in chennai , i hav secured 81% in cat and have applied to SDM IMD.
I am in dilemma weather to do an MBA in a descent institute like SDM this year or join CTS ,preparing for cat 07 . Which will be a better choice , going by the avg pay u have suggested in sdm imd which is around 3.50 , i think working for 2 years in cts will lead me to a similar situation..But there is the change from a techie to a manager lane and an Mba degree which will help me in the long run ..
plz advice..
hi gdvk.... yeah i feel u shud get a call looking at the strong acads u have...

Hi rahray ,
Well u seem to be having a problem of "plenty":) .. n i bet its a very tough choice.
I feel its really upto u to decide n prioritize ur options.
Well the avg pay is around 4.6 lpa this time.I hope this would help u take a decision.
Wat i feel is u do apply to the institute , n y dont u come n see the campus once (if its possible) since the decision u got to make is a very crucial one.
To grow in any institute these days u need to be atleast a double graduate....(long term)..
So i wish u all the best in ur decision making.. n remember one thing .. a good manager is one who has the ability to take good decisions...:)
Cheers...
hi guys.. there s some correction with the avg pay.. the 4.6 lpa figure ws a couple of weeks back n has now jumped to 5.5 (which is the latest updated figure)...
c ya
Thanks Sameer,
i decided to give sdm a shot, if i do get a call tat is...Btwn any idea when the call list will be let out,..
thanks again.
Hi
U wud definitely get a call from SDM as ur percentile is 80. Now converting the call entirely depends on u. U need to brush up all ur concepts and also current affairs as the GD topics are mostly based on this.
Call for GD wud reach u in a week's time from now. Dont worry bout that and prepare well for GD and PI.
All the Best
Surabhi
hi sailesh.. check out ur private msg..
hello seniors
this is prabu from coimbatore,
i have 78 percentile in CAT, sure about sdm call:satisfie:, hoping to convert them.
thanks a lot for your info, it's worth a lot and thanks to pg for all these forums.
Dear Surabhi / Abhishek,
I took CAT this Nov and scored a overall percentile of 77. I complete my enginnering in 2005 after which I worked in Godrej for 10 months. I have always been a 70 scorer since Xth with 71.6, 70.4 and 72.2% in 10th, 12th and BE respectively. Do you think that I have a chance of getting a call for GDPI?
And one more think that Id like to know is on what Surabhi mentioned that you have guest lecturers from IIM and IIMK. But how good are the regular lecturars of the college? Are they equally good? And even if the guest lecturers do come, how often do they come to the college for lectures?
Hope that you will be able to answer my queries asap.
Thanks and regards,
Arjun
