CAT : (4th Attempt)
Overall - 99.69
DI - 99.61
Quant - 98.61
VA - 95.33

Calls - LACKI
Converts - CLIK
GD/PI :

A - Average GD Disastorous PI
C - Good GD Okeyish PI
L - Average GD Good PI(last to be interviewed)
K - Average GD Good PI
I - Good GD Great PI

My suggestion to future aspirants is that making it to IIM has more to do with Attitude rather than Aptitude. So try to develop your Attitude. Have a dream nd be persistant abt it. Keeping faith in yourself during failure is the key to success.(I got 30 percentile in my 1st attempt in CAT & i never got more than 90 percentle in any of the mocks in 3 yrs..believe me..)

Coming to JOKA this June

CAT 2006 (3rd attempt)

DI-97.82
Overall-99.26

CALLS-ACLIK

A
Started off the GD...Everyone was looking at me nodding their heads hearing my points...Would rate it as a more than a decent performance
PI wasn't all that great...started off well...but later fumbled on some simple concepts like per capita income

C
Started the GD here too....gave a few points...couldn't summarise properly....would rate it as a just about okay performance
PI was bad....was a little nervous...dunno why....

L
This was my first GD among the IIMs....so didn't speak much though i dropped in one or two points...overall not all that satisfactory...
PI started off bad...had made a mistake while entering my salary though i fended it off well...had a real decent interview after that

I
Should say that this was my best ever performance though the table we all were sitting in was so narrow that I had to reach out real forward to see the other guys and as a reason the moderators could see only my back
Interview started with technical questions...it became apparent that i didn't know a thing....so the interviewer moved on to my hobbies and all which i answered pretty well

K
Worst ever GD in my life....wasn't allowed to finish a sentence due to certain overzealous ppl
Was asked in my interview on why i didn't speak during the GD...told them that i was conserving my energy for the interview ...the interview after that consisted of a rapid fire set of technical questions which left me in a daze....the interviewers were certainly jolly and they gave me a sincere all the best for the remaining interviews...i had a smile on my face when i left the hall but i had no hopes of converting it

Final Verdict
Rejects - A,C,L
Converts - K
Waitlists - I

So you see folks....it's not always that things go as you predict :biggrin:

feeling really good to post in this thrd...

profile:

Xth:85.2%
XIIth:86.0%
BTech from IIIT-Allahabad: 8.16/10
abt 21 months experience with IBM India

my experiences with CAT:

CAT 2004:

score 99.11
calls: IIMC,NITIE
converts: NITIE

joined NITIE but later left the insti right on the 1st day ... had to loose 1 lac Rs
one incident i remember was .. i submitted by letter to withdraw my admission from NITIE and was going back to the lift. The office babu from NITIE came after me and asked "why r u leaving ?? IIM mein mil gaya kya "
I replied... "no sir mila nahin hai but milega "

and i left NITIE ....
had to face so many questions from friends and relatives "why did u leave NITIE ?? and why after taking admission ?? chhodna hi tha to pahle chhod deta "

he he he...

CAT 2005:
score 98.44
no calls....
my decision to leave NITIE was questioned again... somehow it made my resolve stronger to join IIMC :)

CAT 2006:
score 99.86
calls: BLACKI,NITIE,MDI
converts: CLIK,NITIE,MDI
In Kozhikode interview this time when i reached dadar station it started raining heavily .. it was not at all expected. I didnt know the location of the interview centre. I was running all along in the rain stopping in between and asking people abt the interview centre. Had a tough time reaching the centre. Was the only one in the GD grp who was thoroughly wet. All though running in the rain showers made me feel real gr8 and the interview went rocking ..... 😉 the proffs wr gr8 :)

so I m going to JOKA finally ... though it wud have been sweet if i had the opportunity to leave A and join C but still its a nice feeling :)

looking forward to 2 years at joka ....

lranjitk · July 5, 2007, 8:08pm

Well it has always been the dream to post on the this coveted thread ever since I joined PG...

Well my history goes like this

X:82.3 from Govt school in a small town in AP
XII: 90.7
BE: 78.8 from GITAM College of Engineering, Vishakapatnam...

I worked in Wipro Hyderabad for 34 months

CAT Story:

CAT 2003: 98.39%ile with a skewed score in DI. Did not apply any other colleges other than IIMs and obviously no calls from them

CAT 2005: 78.83%ile. Prepared well but pressure did me completely...

CAT 2006: 98.51%ile with DI:98.98 QA:91.77 and VA:96.30
Got call from only IIM Indore....

Well with IIMI I was waitlisted at 30 and finally made it...
This year had been a successful in terms of all other calls like NITIE,IIFT,SJMSOM and IITD.

My only piece of advice is to keep belief in you and dont put too much pressure on yourself.

Bye,
Ranjit
