The Admission Process started with the filling up of the respective college forms and attaching CAT Score details. In the Colleges the Shortlist for PI was based on the cumulative score of (CAT+Past Academics+ Work Ex+Quota+Gender). The Weightage of each section is mentioned in the website of every institute. The Shortlisted candidates for PI are then scheduled dates and a typical interview lasts for around 15-20 mins based on my experience of 10+ bschool interviews. The Questions range from Acads,Work ex,POR,General Awarness, Hobby. One needs to be thorough about the CV and the present scenarios. Cut Off: 85 Percentile (Gen.) There is no official Sectional Cut off but 75+ percentile across all sections increases the chances of getting a call.
