@cyberhawk,
Here goes my 0.02$ -> Average INSEAD intake in a year 1000-1100 (lets take the 1100
) -> So each term intake approx 550 students. INSEAD policy states that no nationality should be more than 10%, which means no more than 50-55 Indians (or any individual community) will be accepted in a term.
Generally the number of Competitive Indian applicants (great gmat / GPA etc.) for these 55 seats is much larger than the corresponding number of, say, british / Nigerian guys with similar competitive profiles, applying for their capped 50-55 seats. Thats why we are called "the competitive pool". An if we just look at the applicants within the indian pool, most of the guys with great gmat / gpa would be engineers working in some IT firms - a typical stereotypical profile. That's why Indian engineers (includes all - IT, EEE, ECE, Mech whatever) working in IT industry are skewed more.
So what does this translate into ?
After the interview round lets assume that there are 700 good shortlisted profiles for 550 seats, of which 100 were Indians (lets consider them to be top 100 by ranking), still only 50-55 of them will get admission (the best of the best); the remaining 45-50 guys even though better than the rest of the 600, will get rejected! Because INSEAD cannot have more than 10% of any nationality in their class!!
(of course guys, this can vary and not written on stone; but we can see this to be the high level overview) Hope it helps!!
Now my question is, is this categorization based on nationality or ethincity? Is an indian from India and an American-Indian / Canadian-Indian considered the same? or is an American-Indian considered American??

PIOs(person of indian origin) are not clubbed with those who actually hold Indian citizenship...there r loads n loads of 'american-indians(dont confuse em with the red ones!!)..canadian-indians and brit-indians in insead..these students r considered to be americans,canadians n brits resp...
ur absolutely bang on about the Indian/male/engineer/high gpa/higher gmat(where the quant score is much much more than the verbal score) being the highest competitive pool..
in fact if u take indian b-schools like the iims n isb, u will see that 75% of the students r engineers..
