DTE CAP Round process in detail details about the DTE process taking cmat scores

DTE CAP round counselling for admissions to MMS/MBA 2013-14 : Will try and answer your queries regarding the CAP rounds counselling procedure.
The ranks will be given to the students based on their scores in CMAT. If two students have the same rank then the students who has scored higher marks in 12th will be given higher rank. If the 12th std marks are the same then the student with higher 10th std marks will be given higher rank. After this date of birth will be considered to give ranks. 
Othe exams liek CAT/ XAT .. .etc are mentioned but will play very little role in admissions to the top 20 B schools so it can be completely ignored. For other exam they will not be converting it to equivalant CMAT scores but will compare the percentiles you have received. so if you have a 99.5 percentile in MAT and another student has 99.49 percentile in CAT, then student with 99.5%ile will be given higher rank. But this is not important as it will not make a difference in admissions to the top colleges. 
The cutoff marks which I metioned earlier stands and will remain the same for various colleges. I will put the list for reserved candidate students tomorrow morning and will discuss the same again tomorrow when I will hold another event for any further queries.

GD topic: Managerial skills learnt in the classroom can never match those learnt through experience.....
easy topic, 15 minutes given, everybody spoke but the topic was such that a lot of repetition happened...in the end two ladies in the panel asked 3 people to summerize

During my PI, interviewer was very experienced and knowledgeable...as I have done engineering in electronics, he asked all the questions related to that..no general questions at all..interview was around 15 minutes
