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.

Value of one rupee

Friday, the 13th of November was declared as a Delhi Bandh by the BJP to protest the increasing price rise. It is already almost evening and nothing has come out of it. No burning of busses and basically no stoppage of usual activities. No reaction from developmental Delhi-ites.

But even though Delhi is not reacting on the outside, there remains a small voice of protest that remains on the inside of the Delhi-ite that has stood the test of price rise over the ages. This little voice wants to speak of the times when people used to get salaries no more than a hundred rupees and still get on with their lives as the worth of the rupee at that time was worth much more than it is today.

Today when the lowest bus ticket has become 5 rupees, you would think that 1 and 2 rupees have lost their value and want to get rid of them as soon as possible. But even in today’s costly era I have dug out the worth of the one rupee.

The following are things which can be purchased for just one rupee:
- 1 cup water
- 1 toffee – éclairs, big bubble, center fresh, boomer
- 1 refill
- Eraser (local band)
- 1 matchbox
- 1 pan parag pan masala, pass pass
- 4-5 bedis
– 1 cigarette (local brand)
- Rubber bands
- 2 polythene bags
- Blank A-4 sheet of paper
- 1 Photocopy/Printout
- In weddings for shagun ( eg 200 +1, 500 +1, 1000 +1, etc)
- In Airfare + taxes (1+3000, 1 +4000, etc)
- 1-shampoo sachet– clinic, sunsilk
- STD, local mobile calls, depending on plan

One day when price rise is high enough, the one rupee will be redundant, but still hold on to it because after 25 yrs when it is declared an antique it may have double the value on ebay…….
