IIM Calcuuta takes WAT-GD-PI

9 Jan 2013, 01.52 AM

@IIMKozhikode

As written in the admission policy CAT Index Score: IIMK uses a linear scale to map the overall CAT score to a scale of 50. The highest possible score of all applicants to IIMK is mapped against 50 and the respective overall CAT score of each student is converted to the index score by dividing with the maximum score possible and multiplying by 50.. They have mentioned cat score and not percentile, hence the criteria changes this year I feel. Earlier the cat percentile was divided by 2 to reach the score. If this is the case where they use the scores then people above 99%le will receive a huge advantage unlike other years

9 Jan 2013, 04.45 PM

@IIMKozhikode

The admissions criteria have changed. How? 1. You will get more marks if you have 65% above in grads..i.e. 15 unlike 10 last years 2. The highest possible score of all applicants to IIMK is mapped against 50 and the respective overall CAT score of each student is converted to the index score by dividing with the maximum score possible and multiplying by 50.--> unlike last 2 years where the percentile was divided by 2 (It is however unclear whether they are using cat scores or percentiles) 3. Lower weightages to clasX and XII 4. 5 marks awarded if you are a girl So If they use scores and not percentile then people with very high percentiles will benefit. Hence the game changes as the low acads can be negated by very high cat scores

Here's the answer to your question on your chances to get a call from the IIMs, but be warned that you're not going to like what you're going to read. The only 2 among the 6 old IIMs that you can get a call from are C and L. The others are out. B, I and K - as things stand, and as per my understanding of their criteria, you simply won't get a call even with a 450/450. As far as A is concerned, you may get a call at a score of around 440 or so (to put that in perspective, you will stand AIR 1 out of 2,00,000 people and AIR 2 will be a good 15% behind you). Summary: With a score of 99.9 percentile or above, you will get a second round call from C , L and all the new IIMs. Disclaimer: I haven't calculated the precise values for C and L, but they are very close to 99.9.

Thanks for replying. However I didn't want you to predict my chances. I was thinking that you will give me past references of what happened to those with almost same credentials. Sorry but it will hurt a lot that you clear the cut offs but you are not eligible just because you are not good enough throughout your life.
