raj: REPOSTING--Dear sir,as per TIME key i hv cleared the sectional cutoffs-QA(19.5),LR(32),VA(23.25),GK(10) with an overall of 84.75.which I think is not good enough for SIBM-P.Last year i could not convert the calls from SIBM-P and SIIB.I hold an experience of close to 3.5 yrs in IT.At this stage and this much experience is it worth applying for SCMHRD and SIBM-B,growthwise and investment wise considering they are not as good as SIBM-P?I am not applying for SIIB this time.
dhruba: Depends on ur current profile and salary..get a counselling done..scmhrd is surely worth applying
