I am bit weak in Current Affairs and things..So given the fixed amount of time before the GD/PI process starts can you suggest me ways that could be helpful. Will reading time magazines for last 6 months suffice??

Nikhil Murthy

1. It is always hard to be fully prepared with current affairs, given the volume of information 2. Yes. Reading time magazines for the last 6 months is sufficient 3. Read more of opinions. WAT tests your ability to articulate opinions. So, knowing curent affairs briefly is sufficient. Work on your opinions.

1. 75-85 might get you a call from the new IIMs 2. If you have work ex or good acads, you could compensate for that.

So basically I need to concentrate on last 6 months of whereabouts across India and the World and have opinion on those along with things required for PI based questions?

I am expecting around say 90-98 percentile in CAT. My academics are 10 86 ,12 71, BTECH 79 . I am having a work experience of around 4 plus years. Which colleges should I expect calls on this basis. Is any IIMs possible since my score is low in Class 12 especially.

02:39 PM

Shubham Mathur

10th- 85.33, 12th - 83.33, B.E. - 89.40 (Panjab University), General Engineer Male, Fresher. My expected CAT percentile is between 92 to 98. All depends on the accuracy I am able to get in the VARC Section. What can I expect?

02:39 PM

naina khanna

02:30 PM

Naina, I just got it confirmed. 75-85 with pwd is a good chance for converting IIMs. Inculding old ones. Please ignore the previous message. Sorry for that. :)

You can expect a call from the new IIMs. Do you have an offer from any firm?

02:44 PM

Shubham Mathur

Yes I have an offer from Infosys but I didn't go there. Is it of any help?

Yes, MICA is an excellent option.

Does IIMI and IIMK give out profile based calls too at relatively lower percentiles? If yes, looking at my profile how much do you think I need in CAT so as to get a call from either of them?

1.Calls from new IIMs has a good chance 2.Category plays a role here. OBC, SC or ST, can give you a call from older IIMs.

02:48 PM

What is the difference between raw and scaled scores in CAT? T.I.M.E. call predictor scaled my estimated raw score of 133 to 151. Does scaling makes such a gigantic difference?

1. New IIMs, IIMI and K - you have a chance for these 2. NITIE, IRMA- good chance, IITs a little skeptical 3. Try IIFT, MDI and JBMS

1. IIMI and IIMK don't give out profile based calls as far as I am aware. 2. Work experience can make a difference with your profile.

Can I expect call from IIMI?? Filled up IMI but haven't filled up MDI . Is IRMA worth applying.. Btw thanks for you patience and expedite replies :)

03:01 PM

Rayon Das

But MDI, JBIMS does not have reservation category... i think above 90 percentile is required. Through Nmat,apart from Nmims three campus,and XUB HR. Is there any other colleges to apply for?I got 172 in my first attempt.Gave retake but waiting for the result.

I'm sorry about that Rayon. The good options through NMAT are not too many. NMIMS is the best amongs them. XUB HR is a good option.
