We have given calls to people with CAT percentile around 90 but who had considerable work experience. We give profile based calls and CAT percentiles are just one of the many criteria for shortlisting candidates. Please let me know if you have any other queries.

Hi Noel,

The application forms will come out in October. As of now, we are receiving plenty of queries regarding GMAT and we thought it would be better to have an admissions thread that can capture them. This would be the thread to post in the long run.

Thread moved to CAT section. Had to move it here as only one thread can exist for queries.

All the best to aspirants.
