Maneesh,
Finally she did not get in. Her X and XII marks were not upto the mark.
You are correct in saying that there is abnormal emphasis on those in the admission criteria....but atleast we know now what is the weightage for each type of criteria. Imagine the plight of those who enrolled for CAT classes and put in 1 or 2 years of hard work..only to find out that CAT has no weightage in the selection criteria. CAT is only used as a cut-off for going to the next stage of GD and interview. Only if the final scores (taking into account all criteria) are the same for two candidates, the final selection is based on who got higher marks in CAT and the number of questions answered in each section of CAT. Coaching classes must have made huge amounts of money just because this was kept as a "Trade Secret" by IIM.
Recently, in another decision,
CIC wants IIM to disclose CAT scores. Please see:
