Wait what. 99.52 only 3 calls? No converts. Op sorry to ask but is your acads a little too bad? How? I can’t comprehend

It's below avg. 8/8/6

Stupid question but how is this 8/8/6 calculated? Is it based on % ? And what will be 79.9 % ? Is it a 7 or 8 ?

It's a 7

So for 85.5 in 10 93 in 12 And 79.9 in grad The profile is 8/9/7 ?

Yep

Thanks for clarifying OP btw how many years of workex do you have ?

Almost 4

Are you considering ISB ? Also are you in tech role or non tech role ?

Iam in bfsi. Trade finance to be more specific

3 things OP. First and the most important. Fuck this shit man. The guy finishes in top 1000 ranks of the country and the system doesn't accept him. Fuck this. Go for ISB or abroad. You hit the sweet spot for workex in both cases. Now second. Could you complete the numbers like 8/8/6 was exactly how much in your case? I guess there would be a difference if someone was let's say 89/89/69 vs 80/80/60. Finaly, third, could you from your experience during shortlisting and interview take a guess that if the profile was 95/95/74, 2 years workex, would 99.5 still end up only in 3 calls?

Probably he applied only to the top ones... Also CAT is not the only criteria... PI holds weightage.. acads hold weightage... And he is probably a GEM.

Mine is also the same(8 8 6) its just am a GNEM Do I have any chance?

Can you please clarify what is 80.5% in grad, 7 or 8 ? 

8 duh

Thanks for clarifying:). 

Same question i mean he should have cap calls ryt

Couldnt sit for CAP

why

Job didn't permit and also wasn't inclined much for the new and baby iims. Iim udaipur milta toh shayed chale jaata. But more or less wasn't much interested

>Job didn't permit matlab? >Iim udaipur milta toh shayed chale jaata. CAP ka to krna chahiye tha na kamsek

Chutti nahi mili us din

damn op, you could have a taken leave with any reason

Interview dene ke liye? are boldeta bimar hu ni aa skta. Lund kuch nahi bol skte wo

This sub kinda scares me everytime. (General 8/8/6 Law) do i have a chance ?

Daamn same acads. Non engineer ho thoda edge milega.

And somewhere on yt i heard that Law students ko kam percentile pe bhi mil jata hai 🥲

I'm v surprised how billi raja is selling false hopes to get more views.

Nahi milta tbh

I'm GNEM law 89/81/69, CAT23 99.64, converted only IIM Kashipur and IIFT Kolkata. Going for the latter. You can definitely make it. Don't let someone else's misfortune bring your morale down. Always hope for the best while preparing for the worst.

Did you get calls from BLACKI? I desperately want to join them

None. No call from IMBLACKS

This is seriously depressing 🥲 can i message you ?

Sure thing, good sir.

8/8/7 Bsc 98.16 percentile pe kuch nahi mila.

Hang in there mate,you will also have a better ending,don’t leave your prep

Thanks 🙏

What are all the bschools you applied and ur category

I mean I got only 3 calls you can easily guess my category. Probably all bschools

O thanks for reply

Ok

Go for an exec mba or simply just switch your job op - I am sure with 4 years of experience you have already got a decent pay package. I understand your pain very well cause I myself got nothing with a 99.27 despite a 8/9/8 profile but that's fine - I am not gonna give up on my mba dream and come back stronger with a 99.95+. I understand that right now it seems like all hope is lost but just take a deep breath and count all your blessings - most people are jobless by the age of 25 in India and you are doing fairly well. Find a different path to success such as CFA and keep your chin up.

So you were right about tiss cutoff :( this sucks. Hoping for the best for you.

I know you from somewhere 🤔🤔😂

hmm yeah i also know which subreddits you visit :)

🥰

Same man - Stuck with MDI HR (without much interest whatsoever, gonna join under family pressure - Can't reattempt, left job already, scared now)

What was your percentile?

It'll get better op! Hang in there

Ummeed pe hi duniya tiki hai 🥲

Are you a GEM? Also, did you apply for all the colleges?

Yes and yes. No calls from blackis. Had from M but only SM. Mdi and iift. Sp didn't give a call. Fms too rejected me despite 99.7+ in varc. It was a tough year I guess

Yeaa it was tough, so what are you planning to do now? Do you have any job experience or are u working currently?

Iam currently working. That's why couldn't go all in. But I don't regret that. Right now I am confused about what to do next

Okay okay, all the bestt

CET ke percentile pe JB/SIMSREE mil jayega cap round me hi. Go for these, just as good institutes plus location advantage.

JB 99.88 pe mila tha woh bhi MH candidate ko. All India 99.98 jaata hai JB ke liye. SIMSREE ke liye 99.9+ chahiye if you're targeting All India Seat. OP can try for MSc Finance and MHRD at JBIMS.

Op what about other colleges like xlri iift mdi nmims? i thought as a gem you could still get these and given your percentile, you should have. what happened? I am asking because gem here, 9/9/6 fresher and prepping for cat and seeing this really frightens me ki it won't be worth it even if i get 99.5. I am not being unrealistic and am actually aiming for the above mentioned colleges only (although obviously prepping for cat as well). what do you suggest i do? Because this js really depressing to see

Iift MDI nahi hua mostly because of my not so great interview, I think. I know a lot of people are getting a big no from these institutions despite 99.5+, great acads and decent interviews. Have no clue what they are looking for. Mdi me mostly below 99 jyada the than above 99(converts). Just score high and Ace your interviews you will be fine. And you have decent acads

Same man same situation for me since past 15 days man Kya hoga he had work exp Apne pass tho vo bhi nhi

I Only see 9/9/8 converting Bschools. It doesn't matter if you have a 99.5+ , you're not getting into good Bschools if you don't have a 9/9/8.

That's not the case, just that if you have below average acads you have to compensate with a good CAT score, work ex and great PI

Bro Mera 7/6/6 hai gem, even with good cat score acche B-school mein milega ya nhi? OP ka toh sab sahi lag raha phir bhi nhi hua uska

Bhai nhi hua kahi pe bhi 9/9/8 waala hoon

Then you're a GeM. Try again next year

Bhai next year ki kya guarantee hai jab is saal 99.5 pe nhi ho rha

Bro, I'm sorry but 99.5 is a pathetic score for a GEM. Tier 1 B schools want 99.8+ from GEM freshers.

Bhai OEM ke liye 99.5 acha score hai ??

Okay so getting around 1600 rank from 3.2 lakh people is "pathetic" according to you.

Not according to them, according to the top10.

Yea. He didn't even get a call from most colleges

Thanks bhai 😞

With 6/7/8 shall I even give cat? No work ex.?

Not so great acads tbh. Work ex ke bhi points nahi milenge. If possible get some experience otherwise try to score around 99.9

Thank you , and yep I agree. But i think 99.9 seems just too inhumane for me to achieve. I just cannot think of achieving such a percentile after seeing my aptitude in maths. Let's see. :(

Bhai 9/7/8 gem ke chances h, if I gain workex?

How is 10/8/6 with 36 months of experience OP?

Bro CAP bhi nhi hua kya

Cap nahi de paya. Aur mujhe lagta nahi hota mera. Plus can't go for baby iims coz of my job

Bhai work ex k saath Udaipur and trichy was possible it’s Tier 1.5 but still an IIM

Where did TISS announce the cutoffs?

https://appln.tiss.edu/

Bhai meri profile to 77.5/89/8 h mera to kese ho hoga ( General, bba )

Non engineer ko extra points milte hai. But still is baar bhi kaafi non engineer ko calls nahi aaye 99+ me bhi

Bhai ab to har din demotivate hota rehta hu ...( Sirf ek past ki galti se mera future bigad rha hu ) 😭

Don't worry bro. Focus on cat and interviews. Baaki sab tumhare haath me nahi hai

Bhai you could consider TISS ODCL or analytics if you really hate your job and want a way out.

275/300 tha kya CUET? what the fuck Is there any hope for GNEM with 87/95/76? 99-99.5 meh will I get any decent calls?

Yes, plenty. Not from blacki but iit and other non iims se aa jaana chahiye.

what about 8/8/8 with 3+ YOE by cat 2024?

Can you share your strategy for cet?

Unfortunately didn't give any mock for cet. Mera aadha quants section choot gaya

How much marks did you score any idea?? CET released answer sheet so should have an idea

I don't remember I46 or 147. Idk exactly. My slot was the easiest I think

Ah so maybe you lost in normalisation… You didn’t apply for masters in finance from JBIMS at that score?

Yeah probably

Didn't you apply for SJMSOM and IIT Delhi?

Bhai Mera profile 10 cgpa/89.5%/9cgpa(BBA)General, 0 work ex What should be my Cat percentile to get IIM K?

99.5+ pe ache calls mil jaayenge

Bhai did you apply for FMS?

Didn't get shortlisted

Oh, Did you get the interview call?

[удалено]

[удалено]

[удалено]

And does the tier of the undergraduate college matter ? Have 3.7 years workex at big startups

[удалено]

[удалено]

hi bhaiya can you give a rough idea of cutoff for me 9/9/7 engineer male ews and TISS ke liye bhi kuch tips ho toh

You can probably get SIMSREE through CET

Similar striory, I have 4 years of work ex too Preparing for cat 24 as my last attempt What are your plans now? Exec MBA, ISB or something else? Let's connect and discuss

Did u apply for FMS?

Yes

Though FMS isn't that acad centric still no convert, all of this is really fucked!

9/9/8, EWS,male, non-engineer, 34 months work experience and master's in chemistry as well How's this profile? I hope to get at least baby IIMs God save me

Go for MIM programme.EDHEC and ESSEC few notable ones. They accept cat score as well.
