[Official] CAT 2013 Aspirants

Puys I need your help. I want to file an RTI against certain IIMs regarding the criteria of PI shortlist and why i missed it. Can anyone tell the right procedure for doing the same

Hello guys,


I am a Mechanical Engineering grad from Sardar Patel University Gujarat with a CPI of 7.23. X % - 82. XII % - 74.8. I have two and half years work experience in a manufacturing industry in the marketing function.

How much I need to score in order to ensure admissions in top B-schools of the country ?? Besides, Can I expect calls from lower IIMs if i score 99+ ?

I do not have any extra-curriculars after 10th std, mostly due to my disinclination towards participating but I had been an avid participant till 10th std(I know that doesn't count). So how bad will I be grilled by a B-school interview panel on my lack of participation in college? I am targeting only the top ranked B-schools.
PS: I do teach some underprivileged children though, but since that doesn't give one certificates, will they consider it ? ; or should I donate some blood and do some volunteering in order to obtain some certificates, I wouldn't mind doing some charity since I like that. Please help 😃

Between GIM and TAPMI, which is better? I am interested in marketing, having 2.5yrs experience. Terribly confused between both these colleges. 😠

I am an electronics engineer with work ex of 1.5 years. I have been selected in IMT Ghaziabad(Finance) and IMI-PGDM. Which one should I take? I am really confused between the two.

Hi all,

I really need your genuine advice ....


My profile :-... X - 90.80 ,XII-90.20, BTech -89.2 (GEM) ,Work ex- 28 months till April 2014


Converted/Waitlisted calls - XIMB HR , GIM, FORE, LBS, IMI HR (50 Waitlist)

Result Awaiting :- IIM Ranchi PGDHRM , IIT Kharagpur MHRM (2nd list to be out in May)


I need to ask whether I should go with existing calls (or with the awaiting ones if any/both of IIM/IIT is converted ) or should I write CAT/XAT/SANAP/NMAT again and then try for next year ?

Please help ... Any suggestions/advice would be really appreciated .. Thanks in advance 😃

Please suggest a good diagnostic test for CAT . Thanks in advance..

I just found out from somewhere(the other mba forum run by IIM guys) that the placements across the top B-schools(pagalguy top 10) have not been even close to 100% in the year 2013 and 2014 and that some of the unplaced people are the ones that have a good profile but lack in soft-skills. Does the market look like it is going to improve in the immediate future or should I drop my MBA plans for now and join the company I have been placed in ?

1.)Where would you rate my acads, w.r.t placement shortlist across the top B-schools ?
10th - 92.2%
12th - 84.6%
B.tech(IT) - 7.11/10 scales to 63.99% rolleyes
no extra-curriculars in college 😠😠 apart from community service outside college(no certificates or LOR to show off), online certification course in entrepreneurship, marketing and data analysis 😃

2.)Will this kind of profile be shortlisted by good companies in campus placements or should I get some of the better certifications and work-exp to build my profile and write CAT next year ?

PS: I am particularly interested in working either in the Marketing or in the Operations domain.
