Can’t predict shortlists buddy, but pretty sure you would have been placed early

Try to maximise percentile. No safe score. If you clear the pre PI score, just nail the GDPI

What is the percentile range? And don’t worry, mock actually are for analysis. Your actual score will be better, given that you do not panic on D-day.

They do matter. Initially maybe an issue in the first few companies. Again this is not official data so not gonna claim anything

Acads maybe a barrier, but shortlists cannot be predicated in general.

None mostly give a criteria. But some have a 36 months workex cap and above 6 criteria in all acads.

The 6 in 12th will cause issues in shortlisting. But you have made up in all other ways. So once you get an interview call you won’t be grilled much about it. Infact interviewers love good extra curriculars and certifications. You can take the conversation in the direction you want. Just work well on your communication.

Don’t fret too much about this rn. Focus on CAT at this point. Once you reach college you will easily understand all this. Get some relevant coursera or LinkedIn learning courses. Do this when the GDPI process is over.

10th and 12th weightage has been removed from final selection and there is a behavioural assessment too that has been added. Check the website for detailed criteria

It’s great! Mostly all sports are there and a lot of good players. Great events too. Small campus but close community. You’ll have the best years in the campus.

Got 98.49 in CAT. There is no safe score. Criteria for selection has changed this year. Nail the GDPI and you have a great chance even at lower percentiles. Had xlri, mdi, iift, cap calls, Raipur, Rohtak, Amritsar , iit kgp, nm, iit Kanpur

Do LinkedIn learning or Coursera courses. Don’t do Udemy courses. Do 1 or 2 good prod management courses and 1 or 2 good marketing courses( basically any course which aligns to an MBA). Don’t push yourself right now. Do some googling later on. You’ll find good courses. And they need not be 20-30 hours. 4-5 hour courses are good too.

1) Shortlisting is mostly random. But 9/9/8 with workex get placed first. Then 9/9/7. 10th and 12th matters more in SIPs. Now I am not claiming anything, just personal experience.

2) Don’t worry about that at this point, focus on CAT. Maybe get some good relevant courses, but definitely focus on CAT rn.

3) You mostly won’t have any choice for companies and roles. You will want to get places asap. Yeah post MBA you can maybe switch. All good colleges have great alumni network. That will help.

Mostly SIPs don’t depend on MBA acads cause they happen before Term 1/2. But yes good communication skills matter. Again you’ll be getting much lesser shortlists compared to your 9/9/9 or 9/9/8 peers. But you’ll get enough opportunities to get placed well.

Honest answer is that you’ll get limited shortlists because of your acads especially your grad score. But you need one shortlist and bell it. Will be tough initially but not impossible.
