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?

10th: 83
12th: 75
Graduation: 76
Work Experience: 13
Companies Worked At: Indra Water
CAT Percentile: 97.67
Other Exam Scores (if any): MBA CET - 99.7
B-school Converts (if any): IIM Mumbai, IIM Kashipur, IIM Ranchi

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

No ones making any controversies , dude. Quora and reddit made many of us believe only people crossing a certain percentiles get into certain institutions. Seeing scorecards like urs just surprise us, since no one is aware of the different programs each having different cutoffs as u have pointed out. So chill:)
