My Dear Friend, Who told u that it is only the CAT score that matters for getting into an IIM ? Request u to go to any good coaching center near ur residence (if there are any )and check the facts . There are people with 99.7 and more percentile in CAT who eventualy fail to make it to an IIM.And once u r in, IIMs are not just about quant and number crunching but about lateral thinking and applying the theoretical knowledge in subjects as diverse as international geo-politics and indian social structure to practical world. so Mr . Jai, please get ur facts right before writing something just for the sake of it.At the same time, I also request Rediff.com to properly scrutinise messages for their content so that the aspiring students who already seem to see CAT as some kind of a monster(as it apperas from the message board), are not misguided further and the people who might not have even seen an IIM properly may be refrained from making such useless comments. Sorry for being rude .
