The PaGaLGuY UnderDogs Team 2012

MBA CAT 2022
41

Hi guys ,
posting after 2 weeks or so . Joining a company in a remote area as well as lack of broadband internet connection has seriously affected my activity on PG. Will become more active once i get internet connection this week.
This year it will be my second and hopefully last attempt at CAT . Last year couldn't get the %ile i expected as well convert desired calls don't know it was due to lack of gdpi prep or lack of work-ex or less %ile . Although I converted a seat at MDI and IIFT but couldn't convince myself to join these as i always wanted something more (P.S. No disrespect to above esteemed colleges)
Also narrowly missed in FMS after getting 19 in gdpi due to relatively low cat score.
Last year being a part of UDT 2011 gave me a chance to interact with so many ppl as well as PG stalwarts , and made my prep easier as well as interesting be it by sharing of resources, developing strategies or those bakar sessions. Looking forward to be a part of this awesome team again and finish the incomplete job !!!

Hi puys,


I would like to keep my nomination short and simple.
Name: Nishith kejriwal
Graduation : Electronics & Tele-Comm engineer from Jadavpur University
Work-ex: 11 months as a Consultant in PwC
Location: Delhi/Kolkata

This would be my 3rd CAT/XAT attempt.
My profile, previous year's performance and mock scores can be found at :
http://www.pagalguy.com/discussions/para-jumbles-25084463/3620163

Despite scoring 99+ %iles for two consecutive years I haven't been able to breach the IIM interview barriers, though I am confident that I'll be able to do that this year.
It would be a privilege to be a part of the UDT team..also m aware of the responsibilities which comes with it...
This being my 3rd year, I have quite a bit of experience abt the dos and donts of preparing for B-school xams and would be more than happy to share them with everyone....:)
43

Whoa, UDT is up

One of the teams in PG which is so close to me
Have been a part of this team in 2010 and a spectator in 2011 .
I still live the spirit of UDT. Whenever I face failure, I tell myself, this is not the end and I will come back stronger. I learnt it from UDT.

Varun saar, Mujhe bhi dilwa do ek post. Kuch bhi chalega (waterboy, technician), khali UDT confy mein entry permission hona chahiye
Member or no member, I will keep haunting UDT 2012 guys with random gyan.

Till then, all the best everyone. Remember, even if you do not make it to UDT, live its spirit (Daru nehi, iska isstyle). Everyone who has the capacity to hit back, is a member of UDT.

While going through the nomination list, I had to scroll up and check if this DT nominations thread...Phew !!!

Hi puys,
I would like to nominate myself for UDT'12.
My mock scores repository link is:-

http://www.pagalguy.com/forums/cat-and-related-bschools/mock-scores-repository-2012-t-80946/p-3418415/r-3621288

This will be my first attempt at CAT.
Work -ex -1 year
Graduation:- CPI-8.85

Why to nominate me?

I enjoy being an underdog, as I feel these are the ones who show the maximum improvement in themselves as the pressure and burden of expectations is never there, so much so, that they can even surpass the "real" achievers.
I know every year UDT is a pool of those inspired souls who would like to give everything for CAT, despite occasionally being bogged down by difficulties. Although I might be a rookie as regards the CAT journey, I feel I can contribute a lot to this thread and also gain immensely from the fellow members....
Also, I am also always logged into Pagalguy, and member or no member, I will follow this thread very closely right uptil the end of my CAT journey..

UDTians.......


ATB...would like to nominate Nishant88 for DT and UDT.

UDT, where were you until today!!


The name of this team suits me from the CAT perspective "The Underdog". But I have the zeal, the persistence, the determination, the hard-work, all that is needed to crack the CAT or more important from that to gain the knowledge!!

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than
unsuccessful men with great talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence, determination alone are omnipotent."
-Ray Kroc

Following the guidelines of Ray Kroc, I aim to achieve the best for me and currently it is CAT. My actions will speak more for me in the coming days rather than words.

Hi

I would like to nominate myself for a position in this team . ( better late than never )

Name: Atul Mishra
Graduation : Electronics & Tele-Comm engineer from BESU Shibpur
Work-ex: 13 months in IBM
Location: Kolkata
Additional Info : Passed CFA Level I in June 2012 and planning to appear for L2 in 2013
I have already tasted failure in CAT and I think the time has come to taste success .
Season of 2010
CAT - 89.xx%ile ... Screwed up big time . . .
XAT - 99.44%ile ... BM and HRM calls from XLRI . Failed to convert .
IIFT - 36.05 ... Failed to convert the call

Season of 2011
CAT - 92.95%ile ... Screwed up yet again ...
XAT - 97.xx%ile ... missed BM call due to QADI cut off ..
IIFT - 53.5 ... Converted . But did not join .

Based on my performance in CAT I should have been contented with IIFT delhi and should have joined it . However I have immense self belief in my abilities and normalisation 😛 .
Everything that could go wrong with me in CAT has already gone wrong . So with renewed enthusiasm I am taking CAT again in 2012 .

I have been taking CL's Proc Mocks and IMS Simcats . here is my mock scores repository .

Hi Puys,

It's really amazing to see the thread for UDT'12 alive and kicking.
It seems UDT'11 thread was opened just few weeks back where I made wonderful friends and now I hit upon thread for UDT'12. :nostalgic:

Irrespective of selection or rejection in UDT, I wish all of you luck in your attempt to bell this feline, hope you all come with flying colors and I hope an oldie like me would be allowed to post on this sacred thread.

Besties to Nishant,Godfather,Naarto,Angad and all my team mates who missed it last time and special wishes to Abhishek mandilya (agar wo CAT de raha hai)....

Regards,
Utsav

I haven't taken many mocks as I'm giving only CL mocks but I'have tried to be consistent in them.
This will be my second and (hopefully) last attempt at CAT.

I have the zeal, determination and faith in myself to go about chasing my dream and come out in flying colors. I want to be a part of this team so that I'll be able to learn from its members, their experiences and be able to contribute to the team

ok ... finally after a lot of postponing I am nominating myself for the UDT 12 ...

A few disclaimers first ...
1. I have never scored 99.4 %ile.
2. I am not an underdog but a loser.
3. This is going to be a long and boring post, so, read at your own risk.


I have never scored in the 99+ %ile range. I have tried a lot but have never been able to break that barrier. This would be my 4th attempt at CAT and not many would bet on me in getting in that 99+ %ile bracket this season either.

BUT ... and that's a big "BUT" ... I have never been this serious about CAT in any of the earlier seasons. I believed myself to be among the gifted ones who could sleep through a paper and still get in the 98%ile range. CAT and MOCKS brought me back to reality every time that I am as human as it gets. I could hardly get into the 95+%ile bracket.
CAT 11 brought me down to my knees with a not-even-worth-mentioning percentile.

But, as they say, every failure is a lesson learnt. I am working hard this season with all the determination and zeal i have got. I was studying PnC before writing this. I think studying PnC at 2 in the night is a good enough proof that a guy has the determination to crack it this year. I have to wake up at 7 for my office tomorrow.


For me, a person is either a winner or a loser and i have belonged to the second group all my life. Performing below expectations is losing to me and I have always performed below expectations.
Class 10th - expected - 90% - got 85%
12th - expected - 85% - got 82%
Btech - expected - good engineering college - got admission into a private deemed university
CAT 2009 - expected - 99%ile - got 95%ile
2010 - expected - 98%ile - got xx.xx
2011 - expected - 99%ile - got xx.xx

4 people preparing together for CAT 2011
Expected - All 4 would get through.
Actual - All but me got through.

2012 - expecting - 99+%ile - getting 99+%ile (hoping to become a winner)

For now, All i have is the belief that I can and I will do good. I will crack this exam and will do whatever it takes to own this exam this time. I believe I haven't been lucky at times but I am aiming that I won't need Lady Luck this time around. I even thought of quitting the exam with the string of low scores in the exam and the mocks but everytime i said to myself - I will shut everyone's mouth this season.


Now, the essentials, else @[316381:visionIIM-ACL] would disqualify my post.

Hello to all at PG,

I was wondering if I am active enough, or even good enough to be even nominating myself for a coveted seat in the UDT.

The last 2 weeks have been a blur : back to college, placements, training reports and what not. Completely missed out on CAT preparation during a very crucial time.

Axis Bank, Sec 17 Chandigarh gave me the much needed kick.
I have to balance both ends and ace them.
I am not a genius, but I really want to give everyone a run for their money 😁

Coming from the college of the great Rooney sir and geminite ma'am, I have some reputation to maintain

A bit about myself,
Siddhant Shah
Mech Engg, 4th year, PEC, Chandigarh.
C.G.P.A = 8.46/10

CBSE Class 10 : 89.2 %
CBSE Class 12 : 73.2 %

Screwed up my class 12 so awesomely, that I had to drop a year for JEE.
IIT JEE 2009 : AIR 4625.

So close, yet so far.
Has been the story of my life.

Anyway, things will change, for it has to be an IIM or bust this year.

Mocks have been quite a mixed bag for me, with a few highs and a lot of lows, but that is due to shortcomings on my part.
As @[316381:visionIIM-ACL] sir rightly said, might have failed in 8 out of 10 mocks, but will surprise in 2 by sheer determination and confidence.

[Edit]

It was 1315 that instilled confidence in me, that I am capable of doing it this year itself, despite all odds, my class 12th, etc.
Would love to be a part of the UDT.
I promise better participation on PG.
Huge post, I just realized.
Whatever the outcome, I will always emerge stronger

I had the privilege of being a member of UDT'11 and the people I met while being a part of that team, man oh man. This is my third attempt at CAT and in this whole MBA journey, PG is the best thing that has happened to me. I have found people willing to help total strangers, Gods with the ability to demolish any exam whatsoever and then underdogs like myself who, despite being disappointed by CAT year after year, come back for one more shot. coz hey !! that is what the underdog spirit is all about.

Last year, i had the privilege to see the ultimate underdog ( @[374587:techgodajay]) finally make it to IIMC. He could have easily been in DT with his mighty scores but he chose UDT coz he said, that is where his heart was.

Taking inspiration from such people, i hope to be better this year than i have ever been.
Hoping to continue the tradition, this is my nomination.
GO UDT'12 GO !!!!
