No one killed Jessica!

No one killed Jessica is the thought that came to my mind when I heard that out of the 25+ errors in CLAT 2015 the authorities had accepted only two more errors (one incorrect question and one change of answer choice) in the paper despite sufficient evidence to the contrary. In the unfortunate case of Jessica Lal, the accused were acquitted due to botched up investigation and false witnesses. Sabrina, her sister, decided to fight the system. Media, public and political parties came together and the government machinery was forced to act leading to the accused getting convicted. If...

IIML, XLRI, FMS, JBIMS – Koi kisi se kam nahin

If you have been selected for IIM A/B/C, you need not read beyond this point. But if you converted IIML, FMS and/or XLRI or hope to convert JBIMS then it becomes confusing. Should you go for the IIM Tag or the ROI or the aura of XLRI? As a student if you are interested in HR then XLRI is the place to be in. The best offers for HR in India are only open to XLRI or TISS graduates. Hardly anyone from other B schIf you are a person from agri related course or interested in micro finance or...

CAT 2013: How many attempts for an IIM call?

In the last couple of days my mailbox is overflowing and with a single query from many of you. How many questions should be attempted to ensure an IIM call appears to be a common worrying point. Unfortunately most of you believe that one needs a minimum of 99%ile for an IIM call, this creates unnecessary pressure and stresses you out. The reality is that even for a general category candidate the cutoff for most of the IIMs (including IIM A) is significantly lower than 99%ile. To help you fine tune your test taking strategy I have created a...
