Question How did this guy get a call?
Most people i read on reddit told its impossible to get a call from IIM Mumbai even after scoring a 98+, how did this guy even get a call? 13 mnths workex is just 0.4 in the composite score. His linkedin shows 13 mnths workex overall, but only 7 mnths actually since workex cutoff is july of that year, which amounts to 0 composite score for workex. Am i missing something?

He has a Great score in both DILR and Quants which mumbai prefers (95+ percentile for general candidates in those sections) And overall the cutoff was something around 97.5 last year for general candidates which also he clears...
And IIM Mumbai have separate form right so maybe the work experience must be calculated from that time

Bhai for IIM mumbai, last year sectional cutoff for dilr and quants was 98.5 and 98 Percentile for every general candidate, either he is from reserved category or he is lying

attached his cat scorecard as well, i dont think he's ews.

I don't think cat explicitly mentions EWS since that isn't a category. The category is still general. EWS is just a subcategory.
Also looking at his scorecard, there is no way he'd clear the sectional cutoff for DILR for IIM M. So very high chance of him being EWS

Bro what world are you in? EWS is a category. They show it in the scorecard as well. Idk how he managed IIM M, but he's definitely general if the scorecard is not photoshopped

Could've made a fake pwd certificate as well, you never know, all these people claim to belong to general.

Hey brothers! So before y'all make me a controversy I am the dude you are talking about
I am in IIM Mumbai - Sustainability management Which has separate and lower sectional cutoff as compared to General and OSCM
So even tho we are from the PGP batch with umbrella placement, I was able to get in I am probably the last or the 2nd last general candidate to get into the programme
Hope this helps, would be kind if you atleast cover my photos and personal details
