kapilbhandari : There is no substitute to reading editorials of newspapers (if time magazines also, esp T.I.M.E.) on daily basis for GDs. Check the current hot topics and read about them. Form groups among your batch mates or known persons and share ideas. For PI, introspect yourself on all things written in your CV first. You should know all that inside out.

admission : hi sir, wat must be CAT %le to apply for TAPMI ??
asim : Last year they had given calls to a large number of students and the GD was kept as a elimination round, hence the cutoff was pretty low, ie around 50 odd percentile. This year it may/may not be same. Earlier years the cutoff used to be around 85-90 percentile.

galvatron : Sir my academics are as follows 10th - 91.20%, 12th - 79.50%, BE - 81.70%, and my CAT 2012 attempts were as follows : Section 1: 21 attempts (100% accuracy), Section 2: 22 attempts (18 correct and 4 wrong) please tell me if i can expect a good percentile and if i can make it to atleast one of IIM's as i have lost hopes due to my failure in IIFT with 49.70 marks.
