Day 1 of SIZZLERS!

The Students of Times Business School had a sizzling time as the first ever fest sizzlers happened at tbs. The stage was set and the students waited enthusiastically for the start of the event.

The inaugural ceremony was hosted by our very own Siddharta Das, who welcomed Ms.Aakriti Beri, Knowledge Manager, Human Capital Division, and Ms.Vibha Lakhera, Academics to initiate the function.

The first event of the day was the 'one Minute to Fame' event that had a number of great performances from students from all courses and of all years. These performances ranged from dancers, poets, classical vocalists, and even a surprising show of strength by a karate display by our very own Riddhi. The judges were Ms.Beri, Ms. Lakhera and Mr.Alok who were to decide the winners.

Ultimately it was Prateek Lal who also entertained with poetry who came in first place and in second place was Jyoti, who danced to ganesh hegde main deewana . Third place went to Praveen who sang melodiously. Amar though seemed to be the crowd favorite as everyone demanded for an encore.

And then......lunch was served ....delicious noodles, fried rice, momos, bhel puri, papadi, etc was enjoyed thoroughly by the students.
The sports events continued and the semi-finals were held of the pool, table tennis and carrom events.

At 2pm sharp, the students gathered for the Treasure Hunt, which was one of the most awaited events at the fest SIZZLERS. This was one of the most exhausting and the most interesting events ever held at tbs.

Tomorrow the pictures will be up…

….…also coming up experience of the organizers….

CAT Test Failure

The Head of IIM Ahmedabad just recently said to the Hindustan Times: “We have failed in delivering an error-free system … We feel responsible and will move forward (in correcting those errors). Read it again...this is IIM saying they have Failed. As we all know by now the CAT exam on its first online attempt had been a total failure. Prometric had been the organization that has been conducting the online CAT this year and have themselves admitted to the failure of their system. Now instead of being on just one day the test is being held for 10 days, but instead of being an easy affair it has become a very disturbing experience for the test taker.

At least 45,000 students had enrolled for the test in the last three days out of which 8,000 could not take the examination due to technical problems. From many experiences some points noted below have been gathered regarding the new test.

- Due to a virus many were not able to even log in and were told that their test would be rescheduled
- Many found it quite similar to the SNAP online test
- This year the difficulty level was much lesser that earlier CAT’s
- Total questions were 60.. so even if 30 are attempted and are accurate it would be fine
- The time factor is important as you need to keep track of the time
- Do as much manual work you can. Do not depend only on the review button to identify the question you want to go back to. Make a note of that question on the rough paper.

After such a disaster it would really seem like the IIM’s are overrated. It would be much better to go for the MAT test which is conducted both as a paper based test as well as an online test. Also the wait for the MAT is much less as it is conducted four times in a year. So next time your looking for a B-School, do try got yhr MAT test.
