Puys,do you have any idea about whether Internships will enrich one's profile or not.?.I have heard that many of my seniors did internships from reputed companies and universities to get through PI. My profile :- class X- 92.8% (WBBSE) class XII - 88.8% (WBCHSE) B.tech (JU) - 9.36 till date extracurricular - none as such..got some prizes in intra-club swimming competitions and intra-school sports competition. I am afraid i shall be asked "Were you a study-freak all these years?"..hope to deal with this question comfortably..:P
Hi Guys!! Nice to see such a thread for aamchi city Kolkata !! Just for an advice (if you need accept else ignore) for the mocks:-
1. TIME has broken up with its old franchises in several cities and many centre directors of metro cities like Rahul Reddy of Kolkata,Mumbai,Bangalore, chennai and lucknow have together started new coaching insti named "Vistamind". So due to this the large base of students in AIMCAT's(vch was TIME's usp) will take a hitting and wont serve your purpose to give you a better picture of your performance in comparison to others as sample size will be less!!
2. So I would say join CL and many peoples whom I know are doing so as CL is the one which has been highest gainer due to the rift in TIME!! And CL is very good coaching insti and their procs are good enuf !!
Neway best of luck fr the CAT12 , prepare well still time is left , take the mocks seriously and may you all get your dream b-school!!

1. Companies have been using the outsource model in order to lower production and service costs, consequently, taking away jobs from their own countrymen. Market analysts observe that this trend is vexing many employees and customers. Hence, they urge companies to minimize their outsourcing. But, to receive tax exemption from the government, companies must have setup at least twenty outsourcing units. Assuming that the above argument is true, identify which of the following conclusions is supported by the argument? (1) Companies are unable to realize that many of their employees also form a part of their loyal customer base. (2) The government is eventually thinking about the benefit of the people and is justified in giving tax exemption to companies that use the outsource model. (3) Minimizing costs is the key to running a successful business which is what most people fail to see. (4) The tax exemption rules of the government work against its own people by causing companies to set outsource units. (5) Businesses are all about making profits, eventually, they cause vexation to someone or the other.
2. It was co-incidental that two separate teams of scientists discovered the remains of tyrannosauruses on two separate locations of the same island. The first team found that the tyrannosaurus, who was a female, had developed wings; however, it was not possible for it to fly and support its weight during its flight. The other team discovered that the tyrannosaurus, who was a male, had no traces of wings and its structure was no different from what was already known to the scientists. Eventually, both the discoveries made the scientists and island dwellers realize that the island contained many undiscovered treasures and answers. Assuming that the above argument is true, identify which of the following statements can be inferred from the argument? (1) There are certain islands where traces of dinosaurs and other ancient species can still be unearthed and studied to fill in the gaps. (2) The history of evolution provides ample evidence to justify the difference among the male and female species of a race. (3) It is possible that some female tyrannosauruses developed wings, but, whether this physical feature was only specific to females is open to further discovery. (4) The tyrannosaurus was the only species of dinosaurs that had wings but could not fly due to their humungous bodyweight. (5) Scientists are confident that they have already unearthed most of the information about this species of dinosaurs and can make accurate guesses.
1. 3: First line provides the info to come to this assumption. Rest is an application of the above said.
2. 3: I have ruled out those options which have dinosaurs in their frame of sentence. We cannot add our GK in any such argument based question. Yeah tyrannosaurus-may be a dinasuar or it may be a Rhino........
Pls let me know, if I missed to consider any other point while answering the questions.

Hi Jayant !
Congrats on the IIM K convert!!:)
TIME's usual database for Mock CAT series is unlikely to take a hit this year because as of now VM is unable to provide the Mock series option . ( VM counsellors say the test series will start in August . This is what some students told me . Please correct me if I am wrong!) So - by default the students continue to flow to TIME!!
Puys,do you have any idea about whether Internships will enrich one's profile or not.?.I have heard that many of my seniors did internships from reputed companies and universities to get through PI.

So - 2 issues here -
1. Should you do the internship or not? I think this is best answered by whether the internship will affect your ability to prep for the CAT? IF you are going to to do a good internship but poor prep you might as well as forget internship. But if you feel you can give the same kind of commitment to your prep along with the internship - Go ahead!
2. Second question Are you a nerd!!:sneaky: Be proud of what you are . Tell them you worked hard and you worked smart and you did the same for the CAT and you will do the same for MBA and professional life !! Whats wrong with it? To broaden your personality show some other interests hobbies passions ( NGO work, blogging , other achievements etc)

location: Salt lake, Sec-3
Pls add me in all knowledge sharing lists...
PM me your number . I visit Salt Lake often . Would love to catch up.
Regards Tanveer
P.S. Dont let the fact that you gave up your job for CAT Prep play too much on your mind. Have seen a lot of my students crumble under that psychological pressure.
@tanveer sir what is the difference between a conclusion and an inference,deduction and induction? is there any sure shot way to weed out the two from the options.

Too Good......difficult to think beyond ABC with such a profile.
Well profs like Study-Freaks...for sure :biggrin:
Just score a 99 in CAT...rest, Vastrapur/Banerghata awaits
Didn't know such a thread existed......will surely contribute wherever possible...... :)
Based on this I can say with decent amount of confidence that its JU-ETCE......if not it has to be IT or CSE......
Yes,it's JU-ETCE..but maybe you said it because most of the people think scoring is pretty easy in ETCE,which is not true at all..!!.atleast not in the 1st 2 years..
Hello Everyone. have any idea which companies offer project management or non-it operations job profile.Interested in NITIE as heard that it is best for operations. Thanks in advance.
Yes,it's JU-ETCE..but maybe you said it because most of the people think scoring is pretty easy in ETCE,which is not true at all..!!.atleast not in the 1st 2 years..
I said ETCE because of your GPA......such a GPA is only posssible in ETCE, CSE or IT.....
And I do know that scoring a 9.36 isn't easy......am an alumni of JU-ETCE itself......and I do remember the engg drawing, electrical machines, carpentry and all those stufff which weren't easy to score in......you obviously have put in a lot of effort......if you hadn't (like I didn't), you would have ended up with a lesser GPA (like my 8.5 )......
GUYS anyone having any info. about mbm from calcutta university how gud it is, placement scene and is there anything like very strict marking scheme plz provide all available info.
Hello everyone, I saw the discussion on this question that I was recently came across, but haven't understood the logic behind the answer.Would be really grateful if somebody provides an explanation to this. Directions:- Statements 1 and 6 are fixed as first and last sentences of the paragraph. Arrange A,B,C,D in between them in such a way that they make a coherent paragraph. Question: 1.Experts think that our planning has failed miserably. A. Thus we have not succeeded in establishing a socialistic pattern of society. B. A good percentage of our population is still living below the poverty line. C. Thirty years of planning has failed to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor. D. The rich have grown richer and the poor poorer. 6. Still we hope for a better planning and a better way of life.
Well as coaching centers Time and Cl rules the roost. But in TIME, they enroll more people than their faculty system can support. Believe, while many of teacher are very dexterous, few of the teachers are just not upto the mark. In simple words, faculty student ratio is low and its crowded, or else everything is cool.
CL:- Spaciousness and the English teacher Madhu Maam clearly steals the show.
Regarding the test series it is still early days as the tests begin in the month of July!
kudos to all!
CL-Shakib Sir, Nikunj Sir and Madhu maam, those three are the real stars of CL.
GUYS anyone having any info. about mbm from calcutta university how gud it is, placement scene and is there anything like very strict marking scheme plz provide all available info.
Quality matters Don't think about any institute Except IIMC. If you are really serious with your mba then don't count those colleges which offer those stupid assurance at the time of admission.
Are you a nerd!!:sneaky: Be proud of what you are . Tell them you worked hard and you worked smart and you did the same for the CAT and you will do the same for MBA and professional life !! Whats wrong with it?
