Why The IIM Kozhikode Stage 1 Shortlist Is Meaningless

Its just a ploy to get more girls :-) I hope I make it!

Unwritten rule hai bhai... They will see kitni ladkioyon ko calls hai doosre IIMs se..and then decide on shortlist...thats my guess

12 Jan 2012, 10.51 AM

Team InsideIIM

@timeschange - While nothing can be guaranteed, you should be hopeful for an interview call from both IIM I and K. We believe you should also get a call from FMS Delhi. Depending on what SPJIMR thinks about your profile, even that should be open. All the best!

@ timeschange : your 12th is low .. as per A,B,C,L these elites have a non-sense academic criteria

Wid 89 %ile overall I had received a mail from iim k that u have been shortlisted for stage 1. But when I am trying to access their site and enter my reg no the msg comes that either you have not been shortlisted or you have put incorrect information. Plz shed sum light on this

@abhijit23 - You will have to call up IIM Kozhikode and check. We have no access to the admissions committee of any institution

I have got an overall percentile of 97.61...with 98.89 in quant and 88.91 in verbal and LR.... Xth- 87 XIIth - 91 Engineering - 67 NO work ex...still in final year What are my chances for IIM I,K and the new ones? Regards Hardik

@Hardik - CAT percentile and Engineering marks are a problem. Also, unfortunately you are not a non-engineer and neither a woman (We assume Hardik is a name of a male). Keep your fingers crossed! You never know!

@timeschange:- i would say your overal score was the reason you dint get cal from C. as i have seen with lot of my friends.though it wasnt specified.there was a upper cutoff in its case..not the 95 mentioned. and for A and B ur 12th was below 80.so no chance..and for L not being a GIRL and with lower 12th. that might be the case

Can i expect a call from I,K and fms...got call from shillong despite 78.4 in 12th..(10th-92,grads-85.3,general category)?what u think?

13 Jan 2012, 10.23 AM |

Hardik

@ team insideIIM - Really appreciate your quick response. Thank you. There is this one other thing - In the form for IIM kozhikode there was an option to mention about any professional qualifications! I have one of those...Do we get extra marks for these? The break up of marks ( i.e. 50 for CAT, 20 for Xth, 20 for XIIth and 10 for grad ) hasnt got any place for the professional qualification. Whats your take on this? Regards Hardik. ( and yes I am a male )

15% Profile is where it may be considered which a black box as of now - They may consider it. They may not. Don't bank on it. As far as your query on the new IIMs go, we know very little about them. It will be unfair for us to comment on your chances there.

12 Jan 2012, 10.19 PM

Team InsideIIM

@Poojan - It is unfortunate that despite a terrific profile you missed out on a call from IIM Ahmedabad. Your case is similar to one of our writers Ankit Doshi on this website. He encountered something after CAT 2008 results. However, we really hope you get a call from Indore and Kozhikode. You stand a very good chance.

Shortlisting criteria of IIMs is not in your control. The best you can do is to try and crack the CAT and all other entrance exams. Hope that someone calls you after that.

Can someone tell me if graduation score refers to the my score in the last year of engineering or aggregate of all 4 years? Really confused about it for a pretty long time.
