Di was so simple....i solved 20
15 in quant and 28 inverbal
i think 150 shud be a call from IIMs.....

[ankurpuri]

r u mad di is very tuff and verbal ability is very easy i think cut off should be 120 - 130

[dhruvbhatnagar1212]

quant was tough n i think 120 will be a cut off

[amritevil]

I don't think CAT 2008 was easy.

My Attempts:
QA : 9
DI/DS: 14
VA : 15 (got 9 wrong ( )
Total : 38 (expecting to get atmost 24 right )

My Prev attempt: CAT 2004 (94 percentile overall with around 67 percentile in VA )
I guess my percentile in CAT 2008 would be less than 04 .

According to me, the cut-offs for CAT 2008 would be:
QA:28
DI: 32
VA-36
Overall: 115-120 (for one call)

Guys, join us in discussing the questions man... TF's going to take some time for the details solution, I guess. It's not going to be easy, for sure.

I think the cut-off will turn out to be 120-130 or so...

[rajeshkhetan]

guys..the cut-off for IIMs might vary from institute to institute..
I expect a cut-off of 20 in quant,20 in di and 40 in verabal for IIM,A and over all cut-off might be 90-95.
people with work-ex of 3 years and more would most likely get a call incase there are able to clear sectional cut-off and over all cut-off..
