<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Getting admission into an IIM is a 3-step process. The test very well known as IIm Cat for Mba the Common Admission Test (CAT), followed by a Group Discussion and a Personal Interview if you clear CAT. Do not fear.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Y</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">ou do not have to be a genius or an academic topper to get through what might seem like an impossible goal. On the contrary, all you need is a logical flow of thought and an analytical mind and the IIM dream is yours to live.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
Once you have cracked CAT, the next step in the selection process is a Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI).</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
You would start with a IIM MBA GD which is not elimination round. This means that you will give a PI irrespective of your performance in the GD round. The GD round usually consists of a group of 6-10 students. The panel remains the same over the GD and PI and usually consists of IIM MBA Professors.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
The topic in a GD is usually a general topic but can vary to just about anything under the sun. </div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
The last round of selection is the PI. Most of us have a tendency to view an interview as something where someone is sitting across from us and we are trying to convince them of something and get on the top. However, we can perform much better if we could just look at it as a conversation that we are having with some people sitting with us, who are interested in hearing our opinion on different things. <b>They are not looking for reasons to reject us; instead they are actually looking for reasons to accept us into their academic institute</b>. If you have made it this far, they do recognize that you have potential and have a very open stance instead of being the threatening monsters that you probably imagine them to be. One thing is that you should prepare your content well for a PI. The content here consists of preparing your graduation subjects very well and understanding their application to some real world scenarios. Be confident and do not lie. If you don’t know the answer to something, just say that. There is nothing wrong about not knowing something. At the same time it is very important to stay composed through out the GD and interview. </div>

"Some IIM may come out with the list from this evening itself. Within a week, all the IIMs would have sent out mails to prospective candidates," he said. About the results, Moorthy said: "While nine aspirants scored 100 percentile, 1,800 candidates scored 99 percentile and above."Vinayak Gupta, a student of economics (H) with SRCC who scored 99.89 percentile, said: "The 15-minute trial was a great help, and the test was better organized."</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">This year, many of the new IIM, including those in Tiruchirapalli, Udaipur and Raipur, have increased their intake from 70 to 120 for MBA .

</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">This has definitely not gone down too well with candidates who often decide on entrance exams only after knowing the institutes which will accept its scores. With regard to MAT, they are undoubtedly clueless.</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Ankit Roy, an engineering graduate from Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata said that he has taken all the important exams including CAT. “The registration has closed for most premium colleges, so why should I sit for an exam when I don’t know where all I can apply through it. AICTE should come out with its list as soon as possible. Even the colleges need to be clear about their selection criteria for candidates coming in through MAT. They should clearly mention the number of students they will take through MAT, as most colleges declare their shortlist by early March. And from end of March till mid-April the interviews go on. With MAT scheduled late February, the entire interview schedule will either get postponed or the b-schools will have separate interviews for CMAT students, which seems quite unlikely.”</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">A flabbergasted microbiology graduate from Mumbai, Dakshina Nair said, “I haven’t recovered from the SNAP disaster yet to talk about MAT, but yes I have heard about it. I saw the advertisements but don’t plan to sit for it. AICTE should already have announced the list of colleges accepting MAT scores, even I might have given it a thought then.”</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">But there are few aspirants who think MAT is a brilliant idea if executed properly. According to Eshaan Ghosh, a final year instrumentation and control engineering student from Asansol, “What AICTE has planned with MAT is a very schematic decision and it can work if all management colleges come under the purview of one examination. It will then be like the All India Engineering Entrance Examination, after the results of which candidates can apply to various colleges.”</div><!--EndFragment--><br />

<div style="line-height: 1.5; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">The CAT 2011 will have only two sections. The first section is<strong>Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation;</strong> the second section is<strong>Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning.</strong> These two sections will be implemented sequentially with separate time limits. The examination will be 140 minutes. Candidates will have 70 minutes to answer 30 questions within each section which will have an on-screen countdown timer. Within the 70 min provided for the section, candidates can review the answers. Once the time ends for the first section, they will move to the second section and will no longer be able to go back.</div><div style="line-height: 1.5; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 1.5; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">A 15-minute tutorial will be provided before the start of the test, and candidates are advised to go through that carefully before starting the main examination. The total duration will be two hours and thirty five minutes including the tutorial. A practice test to provide candidates with a feel of the timed sections, as well as navigation and functionality of the actual test will be made available in the coming weeks. Once again candidates are advised to go though them carefully to familiarise themselves with the screens, layout, and navigation.</div><div style="line-height: 1.5; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 1.5; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">At the test venue, each candidate will be seated at a desk with a computer terminal and he/she will be provided with a scratch paper for calculations. After the test, candidate must leave the scratch paper at the desk. Rough work cannot be done on any other paper/sheet, as nothing will be allowed inside the testing room. No breaks will be given during the test.</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

Also remember each institute checks different things in a candidate.

Hence, best thing is to talk to seniors or go through institute`s website to know what the interview panel is looking for while interviewing candidates. Also, you should be able to express yourself well and you must have soft skills to develop a rapport with your interviewers.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 1.1em !important; line-height: 1.4em !important; margin-bottom: 15px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2) Group Discussion:</strong> There is one misconception which I would like to clear for B- school aspirants and that is that it is not necessary that you have to speak too much to make a mark in GD. It is not how much you talk but how much you contribute to the discussion that sets you apart. A GD checks how you conduct yourself in a Boardroom. It checks how you conduct yourself, how you handle everyone present in the room. You should give others a chance to speak and never try to be imposing. Be soft spoken yet assertive.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 1.1em !important; line-height: 1.4em !important; margin-bottom: 15px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">3) Essay writing:</strong> Though <span class="caps" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">IIM </span>- Calcutta does not ask candidates to write an essay, there are a few IIMs that check how an aspirant can structure his thoughts. Like I was asked to write an essay on Tiger Conservation when I went for my selection process in <span class="caps" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">IIM </span>- Bangalore. Each institute has different ways of judging students based on essay writing. The time is limited and can vary between 10 to 30 minutes and it checks how well you can structure your thoughts.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 1.1em !important; line-height: 1.4em !important; margin-bottom: 15px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">4) What to wear during Interview:</strong> When you're going for a B-school interview, you must be properly dressed. The B-school interviews still follow the conservative standard. You should wear formal suit or at least pant and shirt and have polished shoes, ironed shirt, cut hair and nails. You must look neat, serious and should make an impact.</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

<div align="justify"><strong>MAT Feb 2011 Analysis</strong>This MAT Feb 2011 exam had 200 questions to be attempted in 150 minutes. These 200 questions were from five test areas viz. Indian and Global Environment, Language Comprehension, Data Analysis and Sufficiency, Mathematical Skills, Intelligence and Critical Reasoning with exactly 40 questions in each. Each question had equal marking and one-fourth mark was deducted for every wrong answer and one mark was awarded for each correct answer.</div><div align="justify">The consolidated score is evaluated by taking only four areas into account. Indian and Global Environment is not the part of the consolidated score. Hence, the scoring is done out of a maximum possible score of 160 marks.</div><div align="justify"><strong>MAT Eligibility</strong><br />

Currently there are 9 IIM in India. They are listed below. The Online CAT Test is held online once a year in last week of November.<br />
<br />
List of the Indian Institutes of Management (IIM) in India :<br />
<br />
1) IIM Ahmedabad<br />
2) IIM Bangalore (Bengaluru)<br />
3) IIM Calcatta (Kolkata)<br />
4) IIM Lucknow<br />
5) IIM Indore<br />
6) IIM Kozhikode<br />
7) IIM Shillong<br />
8) IIM Ranchi<br />
9) IIM Rothak<br />
10) IIM Raipur<br />
<br />
To get into IIMs and the 120 Colleges which use CAT Scores one has to go through a selection process which includes most OR all of the following :<br />
<br />
1. Written Test<br />
2. Group Discussion<br />
3. Personal Interview<br />
4. Essay Writing<br />
5. Psychometric Test<br />
6. Group Task<br />
7. Management Games<br />
<br />
The percentile secured in CAT is used by the B-Schools in India for short-listing candidates for admissions to their Institutes MBA Programs.<br />
<br />
The written exam tests the aptitude of the candidate in a number of areas. It usually consists of questions related to :<br />
<br />
1. <b>Quantitative Ability</b><br />
(Questions in Mathematics mostly from 8-9-10 standard, covering Arithmetic, Geometry, Menstruation, Algebra, Trigonometry and Co-ordinate Geometry)<br />
<br />
2. <b>Verbal Section</b><br />
(Questions in the area cover Grammar, Sentence Correction, Vocabulary, Reading Comprehension & Verbal Analogies)<br />
<br />
3. <b>Data Interpretation / Data Sufficiency</b><br />
(Analysis of Data. Usually data is in form of tables, charts, graphs. Students are required to study them and answer the related questions)<br />
<br />
4. <b>Logical Reasoning / Ability</b><br />
(Questions to be solved using Common Logic)<br />
<br />
5. <b>General Awareness</b><br />
(Currently CAT does not have questions on General Knowledge)<br />
(Questions pertaining to current/past issues (national & global), economics, general knowledge etc.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Preparation Strategy to Crack CAT Exam:</b><br />
<br />
There is no formula or shortcut to crack the CAT or any other MBA Entrance Test. One should take care of the following :<br />
<br />
1. Clear your concepts of 8-9-10 standard maths (preferably NCRT)<br />
2. Extensive Reading on current issues (Indian & Global), business, economics etc. Reading magzines like Business India/World/Today, Forbes India, India Today, Frontline, and National English Newspapers daily is recommended.<br />
3. Regular puzzle solving<br />
4. Solve as many questions in all areas of the CAT Test. Subscribe to study material from any national coaching center or download from internet. This practice will give you the required speed needed for CAT.<br />
5. Join a Test Series of min 20 Tests and do the complete analysis of each test. We suggest you to join any 2 leading National CAT Coaching Centers such as T.I.M.E., IMS, Career Launcher for test series.<br />
6. Daily write an essay (2-3 pages) on any one topic (currently issues, business etc) of your choice. Try refining them after 1 month.<br />
7. Speak English 24x7 for fluency confidence<br />
8. Increase your vocabulary by over 1000 words (ie memorize & then use 20 new words daily).<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

If you have been taking mock test, you should sit down with your performance results and try to spot a trend. Crucial aspects to look out are: </div><div align="justify">In the English section <br />
• Within the Reading Comprehension section, which type of passages are you comfortable with and scoring well?<br />
• Conversely, in which type of passages do you struggle-is it that you are weak with passages dealing with philosophy for example? Do you struggle with inference based questions?<br />
• What kind of strategy works for you in Reading Comprehension, to read the questions first and than attempt the passage or vice versa? <br />
• Within English, are you more comfortable doing the Reading Comprehension part first or Verbal Ability?<br />
• Is your Vocabulary up-to-date?<br />
• Are you comfortable with Grammar?</div><div align="justify">In the Quant Section <br />
• Are you strong or weak with a particular type of question-Example: Are you weak in Probability or Geometry?<br />
• Do you take too much time solving some particular type of questions?</div><div align="justify">In the Data Interpretation and Analytical Reasoning Section<br />
• Are you comfortable with all sorts of diagrams such as tables/graphs etc. or struggle with a particular type?<br />
• Are you good with analytical reasoning/logic based questions or have trouble with them?<</div><div align="justify">The reason for doing this is that it is time for you to decide your strategy to attempt the paper. Of course, this is only an ‘interim’ or ‘draft strategy’. The reason why it is called interim is that there is no way you can actually predict the CAT paper, and hence your actual final strategy must be decided only when you get the actual question paper in your hand/view the questions on the computer screen, as we shall see in the next chapter, since there is always some unpredictable aspect in the CAT exam. </div><div align="justify">Nevertheless, it is beneficial to have an interim strategy in place. As Louis Pasteur said “<b>Chance favours the prepared mind</b>”. This will ensure that there is some method you adopt in tackling the CAT exam and that you do not panic and attempt the paper in a random, haphazard way. </div><div align="justify">It is the time to decide what type of questions you will definitely take a shot-at in the exam, what you will most likely leave and what you think you should work more on in the remaining month. For example, let us say that you are weak with passages pertaining to philosophy. What you can do is read 5-6 passages on this theme from a journal or a site like www.magportal.com and improve your confidence and comprehension abilities in such passages.</div><div align="justify">Similarly, if you realize that you are weak in Geometry, you can go back and revise the basics from any of the CAT preparatory material you may have with you. In addition, you can decide to practice 15-20 questions on this topic every day for the next 7-10 days, thus attempting to improve yourself in these types of questions. </div><div align="justify">Or if you are weak in Mathematical/Analytical Reasoning based questions, you can practice the same from a good book on the same lines (10-15 questions a day for 7-10 days). </div>The important thing is to take stock of where you currently stand a few weeks before the CAT and focus your preparation accordingly.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

The topic of essay was ‘Diversification is not an indicator for inclusiveness’. This was indeed a complex topic and involved a lot of thinking before penning down the appropriate words. But for those who have the ability to articulate well and razor sharp mind can make the best use of the 10 minutes. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The interview questions for Ankit were generic. He was first asked to introduce himself. “There was another question which was ‘ Sell yourself to IIM A for mba,” said the 100 percentiler. In this question he had to emphasize his strengths and convince the panelists that he is the apt candidate for IIM Ahmedabad MBA. The marketing skills were also tested through this question. He was also asked questions on Math and his city, Chandigarh. Some general questions on hobbies and interests were also asked. </span></div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>-- Manu Bajaj</strong>The essay topic for Manu Bajaj on Sunday, March 14 was ‘Child artistes are an exploited lot’. Manu touched the lines of the child artistes in films as well as the reality show where the participants are children and the immense pressure they have to undergo at such young ages.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The PI round for Manu started with the basic questions on introduction and academics. He was asked about his favorite subject. Being a student of Computer Engineering, he had to answer quite a handful of questions on quantum computing and other such facets.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Then he was asked ‘Why MBA?’ In this, he gave an overall answer. “I have always been part of Extra Curricular Activities and I am a good team leader. I want to leverage the leadership skill by being a positive drive force for an organization,” was what Manu answered to the question. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Apart from this he was also asked questions on what he had written on the essay topic. Here a general discussion went on regarding the society, reality shows etc. In the last question, he was asked about his views on the Women Reservation Bill. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size: x-small;">“When I answered that it was a good move, they started grilling me! A debate ensued on whether the reservation should be done on the basis of gender or caste,” Manu reflected on his interview. According to him, 10 minutes of the interview was on academics and five minutes each on essay and Women’s Reservation Bill. </span></div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>-- Anshul Singh</strong>The essay writing and personal interview round for Anshul Singh was on Wednesday, March 17, 2010. His essay topic was ‘Lay offs can give a new direction.’ Here the advantages of lay offs in an organization had to be discussed. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The interview was pretty generic for him. He was asked questions on his hobby, which is cricket and on his graduation subjects. “My graduation marks were low, so I was asked the reason,” Anshul said. “The interviewers check the practical application and presence of mind,” he cited. </span></div><div align="justify"><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Despite her anxiety about entering the job market in a few days, Sunitha is not overtly optimistic. The 23-year-old, who has just completed her engineering degree, has to be content with a modest pay package of Rs 90,000 per annum at a call centre. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">However, Sunitha says she is lucky to have at least got this job, as several of her classmates from her engineering institute in Davangere, about 265 km from Bangalore, are still <br />
scouting left, right and centre for one. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">She says that even though various surveys suggest the job market is improving and hiring is thriving again, the situation in tier III towns and institutes is still gloomy. “There were hardly 4-5 firms this time at my institute who made offers to just a handful of students. Salaries are more or less similar to what I have been offered,” says Sunitha.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Sailing in the same boat is Namit Kumar (name changed), whose<b> MBA institute in Cuttack</b>, Orissa, mostly lay barren as far as placements were concerned. Namit was lucky to have got a sales job in a retail firm as a result of his own job hunt, for a monthly income of Rs 5,500, minuscule compared to what students from reputed institutes get. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">“The entire course fee for two years was nearly Rs 4 lakh, but after spending so much, all I get is peanuts,” complains Kumar. Namit and Sunitha’s story is a grim reality despite talk of jobs and fancy salaries brimming all over again. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Rishi Das, co-founder and CEO of Bangalore-based talent <br />
acquisition firm CareerNet Consulting said that usually, students settle for salaries of Rs 5,000 then work hard, gain whatever experience they can, and start hunting for jobs with bigger organisations.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

</div><div align="justify"><u><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>IIM Ahmedabad makes the room bigger for the students</strong></span></u></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong> </strong>This year, the number of seats has been increased in IIM Ahmedabad. Hence, the admission of the number of MBA students has gone up to 385 provisional admissions in 2010 from 312 last year. “For 2010 we have made 385 provisional IIM MBA admissions. In 2009 we took 312 MBA students for our Post Graduate Program in Management,” mentions an official from IIM Ahmedabad.</span></div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify"><u><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Contact Study hours</strong></span></u></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size: small;">According to IIM Ahmedabad, for the 2010-12 batch, or the PGP I students, the contact hours is 2040 hours.

As the three sections evaluate three distinct sets of knowledge and skills, scores do not correlate across sections. A high score in one section does not guarantee a high score in another section. Percentile rankings are provided for each individual section as well as for the overall exam score.<br /><br /><br />The CAT exam was developed to accurately identify top performing candidates and that design makes use of a scaled score range of 0-450.<br />In order to appropriately identify the top performing candidates, the CAT exam was, by design, very difficult. As would be expected with the more difficult CAT exam, <span style="font-weight: bold;">no candidate answered 100% of the items correctly</span> and no candidate achieved the top theoretical score. The exam design accomplished the goal of identifying the top performing candidates who were, indeed, ranked at the top of the list.<br /> If the exam were designed to be substantially easier, it would be theoretically possible for a candidate to achieve a score of 450. However, an exam constructed to be that easy would not serve the distinct purposes of the IIM.<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
