JMET 2010

The JMET exam conducted on 12thDec was of easy level as compared to the previous year. The test had total time limit of 180 minutes. The positive marks per question were 1 marks and negative marks –0.25. Each question had 4 options. The breakup of questions according to sectional area is given below.

QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE

This section was moderate in Difficulty level. The questions on algebra were mostly from P&C,
Probability and Set theory followed closely by Progressions. At least 5-6 questions should
definitely have been attempted. The questions on Higher Math were from Complex numbers,
Higher Trigonometry, Integration and its application and LPP.The questions on arithmetic were
from Percentage, Ratio and Time speed and distance. The Number system questions were
based on basic properties and should have been attempted. The possible cutoff score could be
14. The time allocation could be 50 minutes.

VERBAL COMMUNICATION

This section was easy as compared to previous years. There were 5 questions directly on
Synonyms and Antonyms, while 2 questions were part of a sentence, from which a synonym
was required to be found. Continuing the trend of the previous year, there were questions on
Grammar testing knowledge of Reported Speech. The Fill in the Blanks questions were based on
Vocabulary as well as Grammar. There were 4 passages. Some of the questions were grammar
based, vocabulary based, fact based and inference based. The possible cutoff score could be
13. The time allocation could be 40 minutes.

LOGICAL REASONING

The difficulty level of this section ranged from easy to Moderate. There were 6 logical caselets
of which 1 was a little confusing .The rest of the sets were easy. At least 14 questions should
have been attempted. The Logical Comparison questions were easy. The Critical reasoning
questions were based on Statement-Assumption and drawing out Logical conclusions. These
should have been left out. The possible cutoff score could be 17. The time allocation could be
40 minutes.

DATA INTERPRETATION

This section was the easiest one as compared to other sections. There were 4 caselets on tables
comprising 3 questions each, of which at least 3 should have been definitely attempted. The 3
sets on bar Graph and 2 sets on pie chart were easy but calculative. One of the sets on bar
graph required observation skills and should have been definitely attempted. The easiest of the sets were from Venn diagram. The possible cutoff score could be 17. The time allocation could
be 50 minutes.

Cut-off:
IIT-M: 80+
IIT-D: 78+

TISS 2010

Like last year TISS-2010 had a compulsory Part-1 paper (common for all courses) which had 50 Qs from Analytical & Numerical Ability, Language Ability and Awareness of General & Social Issues and a Part-2 paper which was different for each of the programs that are offered by TISS. However for those who opted for the HRM & LR course, TISS-2010 turned out to be a mixed bag – Part-1 which had easy Qs where the number of attempts matters more than anything else; and Part-2 which had too many questions and too less time allocated to it given the higher difficulty level. Thus Part-1 would have given students some breath to take but Part-2 was not the same case.

Part-1
Part-1 of the TISS paper was a cakewalk and most students would have been able to solve all Qs within the given time. This Part had three sections with around 15-20 Qs in each. some questions from GK:
AIDS abbreviation
Which is not a part of SAARC?
Taslima Nasrin is the author of which book?

Attempts in the range of 40-45 should be considered to be very good with a possible score of 15+ marks. (keeping 0.40 marks per question)

Part 2

No. of Qs : 75
Description : 5 Sections (Data interpretation, Data Sufficiency, Reading Comprehension,

Business knowledge and Foundation of Management)

This part was on the line of previous year set but had some surprise as DI questions increased to 20 from 10 last year. RC questions were more than last year.

Questions were asked in GK were from diverse fields, some questions were asked on Dabbawallahs,BPO etc. This section was bit lengthy.

Attempts in the range of 42-46 should be considered to be very good with a possible score of 25+ (keeping 0.67 marks per question)

Sectional Scores and Overall Cut-Off

TISS has clearly mentioned that there are NO sectional cut-offs this year. The paper mentioned that Part-2 had a 75% weightage but has not mentioned the weightage per Questions.

Cut-off for HRM & LR- 42-45

SNAP-2009

guys,
Snap is over and we hope that you must have done well in the exam...... here is some analysis of Snap 2009
as already announced earlier...... the paper was on same pattern with

The number of Qs went up from 135 to 150. Last year SNAP had 2 mark Qs in each of the 4 sections; however that was discontinued this year. The Analytical & Logical Reasoning section of SNAP2009 was the only one that had 2 mark Qs in it. General English, QA/DI/DS and General Awareness sections had 40 Qs each while the Analytical & Logical Reasoning section had 30Qs. However the Reasoning section had the maximum weightage and students should have done well to give this section the maximum amount of time as compared to the other sections. All in all this SNAP was definitely easier than the SNAP exams of previous years and the cut-offs should scale new highs.

SPEAKO-B-SKOOL UPDATES

2010-06-08T19:48:00.011+05:30

SNAP 2010 Analysis: (Pre Analysis)

The SNAP test conducted by the Symbiosis International University (SIU) is going to be conducted on Sunday, the 19th of December. A few tips on the test and an analysis of the previous editions of the test below.

The Overall Picture:

The SNAP Test as mentioned on the official website is reported to be consisting of 180 marks. How these marks will be distributed this time will be interesting. While the 2007 and 2009 versions of the test had 150 questions, SNAP 2008 managed to spring a surprise by including two-markers across all the sections thereby reducing the number of questions to 135.

The paper is traditionally easy and the overall cut-off used to hover around the 45% mark (81 out of 180) in the pre-2009 era. This could be attributed to a fewer number of serious aspirants taking the test and the presence of a General Awareness Section for which very few strong aspirants ‘prepare’. Last year saw a rise in the overall cut-off to an unlikely 107/180 which surpassed all the institutes’ predictions. This was probably due to an easier paper and also due to the CAT fiasco to a certain extent as students might have been interested in securing a few calls. What happens this year will be interesting to see.

Quantitative and Data Interpretation & Sufficiency Section:

This section is nowhere near the typically feared quantitative section of the various entrance tests. Full of sitters, the key here is to attempt as many questions as possible in around 25-30 minutes and then move over to the other sections. A good hold on the basics is the only thing required to crack this section. If one is comfortable with the basic formulae and concepts, one can easily sail through the quantitative part of the section.

The topics commonly focused on are:

Ratio, proportion and variation

Averages, mixtures and alligations

Time, speed, distance

Time and work

Basic questions on probability and permutations and combinations

Basic geometry

Percentages

The Data Interpretation part, last year consisted of simple table and pie-chart based caselets which involved a few calculations. There was also a simple set on Venn diagrams. This part was also very do-able with a bit of application.

There were also a few puzzles/visual reasoning questions which made an appearance in this section. Again, easy-moderate difficulty level.

There wasn’t even a single data sufficiency question which made an appearance in SNAP 2009. But in the preceding years, there have been a couple of questions from this area.

Also, last year saw a couple of questions with incorrect options. Marks were awarded for these questions irrespective of the response and if one does encounter such errors in the paper, it would be advisable not to waste much time over such questions and move over to the next question.

General English Section:

This section consists of Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension. However, the weightage given to the Reading Comprehension part has gradually reduced over the past few years. In 2007 what contributed to 4 passages and 19 questions came down to 3 passages with 12 questions in 2008 and last year’s edition had a solitary RC passage with 3 accompanying questions. This year might see a rise in the number of questions dedicated to the RC part. But then, even when it had a significant weightage, the passages were easy to read and the questions, barring a few which focused on the central idea and interpretation, were quite straightforward.

The Verbal Ability part, again focuses on the basic rules of English usage and basic vocabulary. A good reader would be in a good position to answer all the questions from this area. Last year, there were a few questions which required one to know the spellings of commonly used words. The fill-in-the-blanks questions require a basic knowledge of conjunctions, pronouns and verbs. There were a couple of questions which required one to spot the missing punctuations in a sentence. Also, there were a couple of questions each on synonyms, idioms and phrases, antonyms and match-the-following. A significant part was devoted to the sentence correction questions which were again, easy-moderate in nature. A few questions required knowledge about the basic figures of speech and were again easy for a prepared candidate.

But in the years before that, the verbal ability section used to have a fair share of moderate-difficult questions which could be cracked only by a few candidates. Also, there were a couple of parajumbles which appeared in both 2007 and 2008 versions of the test.

General Awareness Section:

Supposedly a nightmarish section, this section used to be the make or break section for many when sectional cut-offs were considered. But with the sectional cut-offs scrapped this time, as will be described later, one need not worry about this section anymore. But still, picking a few sitters and doing them correctly will surely fetch a few bonus marks thus boosting the overall score. This section has always had a good mix of both static general knowledge questions and current affairs and a well read candidate can hope to score 10+ marks in this section in almost no time.

Few of the areas which have been focused on in the past few years are:

Abbreviations and names of the various branches of science

Brands

Government Projects

Sobriquets

Sports events winners/record holders

World Organizations

Prizes

World’s largest/smallest/tallest/shortest

Popular inventors

Analytical & Logical Reasoning:

This section, which traditionally has had two-mark questions contributes to nearly half of the total score. The section does not vary much with respect to the difficulty levels as compared to the other sections but, the rewards definitely do. So, the most commonly used strategy is allocating a disproportionately high amount of time to this section and scoring heavily. Maybe due this reason, last year saw the sectional cut-off rising to a staggering 65% (39 out of 60).

The section had a few critical reasoning questions, a few questions on syllogisms, a few on alpha-numeric reasoning, a couple of visual reasoning questions, four DI sets and the rest being simple reasoning based questions. One of the sets was calculation intensive but the other questions were quite doable. One has to keep an eye on which blanks are missing in the syllogism questions. The options might be confusing and under pressure, one can go for the incorrect option. Also, for the critical reasoning questions, if the inference/conclusion of a paragraph is asked, it cannot be a sentence directly quoted from the paragraph.

Sectional Cut-offs:

The University has reportedly communicated to the associated institutes not to have any sectional cut-offs for their courses. Previously, SIBM-Pune used to have sectional cut-offs. But, this time they have made it clear that there won’t be any sectional cut-offs in the ‘Coffee with SIBM’ event, on their forum and as is evident from this query which is answered on the Directors’ Forum.

OMR marking:

Although a very negligible aspect of the test, it is very important to remember that the OMR sheet has to be marked with a ball-point pen and once marked, one cannot change the response, so one has to be a bit careful while marking the answers.

Also, in case one marks a wrong answer and becomes aware of it during the test, it is advised to mark another random option so that the response to the question is not considered and one doesn’t end up losing any marks.

FMS 2010-What To Do

The FMS entrance test has gradually been evolving in the last few years. In 2008, sections were introduced for the first time (before that it was a single section paper), the sectional cut-offs were set at 50 percentile each and the scores were declared. For the FMS entrance test of 2009-10, the number of questions increased to 200. What next? We’ll know only on Sunday.

Based on the previous years, here is a brief preview of each section and the topics they focus on.

Quantitative Aptitude

This section had had mostly easy questions interspersed between a few very difficult ones. Spotting the easier questions in this section and then switching sections to do the sitters in other sections would be a good strategy. As there are more number of questions in the FMS test than in the CAT, one can always find at least some questions from topics they are more comfortable with. Sometimes FMS features higher math questions, so basic conceptual knowledge should be enough to get through such questions.

Some hot topics from past FMS papers are,

1. Percentages, profit and loss

2. Geometry

3. Coordinate geometry and graphs, linear equations

4. Time, speed and distance questions

5. Basic calculus and basic statistics

6. Algebra

7. Permutations and combinations

Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning

The saviour for most FMS test takers, one can always find a few approachable questions in this section. Many use this section to boost their overall score. In FMS 2009-10, the focus wasn’t that much on the data interpretation part (only a set of 6 questions appeared) as it was on puzzle-type questions involving blood relations, alpha-numeric logic and reasoning caselets. A couple of questions required one to arrange jumbled letters and get the synonym or antonym of the formed word. All in all. this is the easier of all sections in FMS. One might want to spend more time with this section provided one feels comfortable with the question types. The DI caselet last year was relatively too time consuming and could have been left in the first round of attempting questions.

Reading Comprehension

One of the highlights of last year’s entrance season was the five-page long reading comprehension passage followed by 24 questions that appeared in the FMS test. The section had four passages and there was a good mix of factual and inferential questions. Those in the habit of reading a passage before attempting the questions would have been stumped by the sheer length of the passages. Thankfully, the questions were in the order in which their answers appeared in the passage. So, those who were comfortable reading the questions first and then searching for the answers in the passage would have found life easier. There were no surprise questions. Many questions were based on choosing the correct or incorrect statements from the passage. There were a few inferential questions which asked for a suitable title for the passage and the stance that the author had taken in the passage.

But, if we observe FMS 2000-09 RC section, the passages weren’t easy at all to read and comprehend and tougher than 2009-10. The relatively difficult questions made matters worse and so one had to find the relatively simpler questions and solve them accurately. Also, the fact that there were more number of questions in the RC section, that the level of the section was easy-to-moderate, plus some of the passages being directly lifted from previous year FMS papers resulted in increased sectional cut-off of this section.

Verbal Ability

This section is arguably paid the most attention when preparing for the FMS test. Indeed, it is the most unpredictable section in the entire paper. The general perception of people is to study vocabulary, mug up all the words and phrases humanly possible and finish off the section in 10-15 minutes. But although vocabulary is important, it isn’t and shouldn’t be the sole focus of preparing for this section. The composition of last year’s Verbal ability section was,

Synonyms – 10 questions

Antonyms -10 questions

Verbal General Knowledge (origins of words, forms of art, gender based, etc.) – 8 questions

Words/proverbs/metaphors related questions/syllogisms – 10 questions

“Fill in the blanks” – 2 questions

Sentence correction – 10 questions

Now, learning words will help if the words appearing in the paper were also present in your wordlists, which you cannot guarantee. The section is known to ask questions on some very novel and uncommon words. The verbal general knowledge questions are as unpredictable as they can get.

The point I’m making is, that one can focus on the non-vocabulary elements of this section and still get a good score. Often, some of the vocabulary-based questions can be solved easily even without any significant preparation (say, by eliminating options) and if one is not comfortable in this section, one can concentrate on the other sections to maximize their scores.

Does the hare always win and the tortoise always lose?

They say that speed is the key in FMS-type tests. But is that all? I disagree to an extent. Usually hailed as a speed-based test, there is more to the FMS test than just racing with the questions. Along with maintaining competitive speed, one should also be constantly vigilant to spot the ‘weak links’ in the paper and use them to their advantage. For example, last year had an easier Reading Comprehension section compared to the years before. So, all those who had originally planned to apportion less time for it and just clear the cut-off, would have gained by changing their strategy to spend more time on it and earn extra marks.

Yes, speed freaks do have an advantage at the FMS Entrance Test, but one can also clear the cut-off by focusing on the accuracy. Last year’s overall cut-off was 331 for MBA and 343 for MBA-MS which totals to around 85 absolutely correct answers which is manageable given the easy-to-moderate nature of the paper.

Also, remember that you do not have to clear the last year’s cut-offs. The cut-offs are something which should not be thought of beforehand. No one knows what it is going to be like. So, if one puts his/her head down and attempts the paper to the best of one’s ability, one will definitely do well.

IIM-A students to start helpline on corruption

At a time when the country is being rocked by a number of scams, some students of Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad have decided to launch a helpline on corruption to curb the menace.

A group of six IIM-A students proposed the idea of starting the helpline to former President A P J Abdul Kalam and IIM-A professor Anil Gupta, which was appreciated by them.

"When the students mooted the idea of starting a corruption helpline, I thought that the idea was excellent in present context when the situation in the country is such that common people think that their work cannot be done without giving bribes," Gupta said.

The country was recently rocked by 2G spectrum scam, Commonwealth Games scam and Adarsh society scam which have brought the issue of corruption in focus.

"At present, most people do not know where to complain against the corrupt officials and some of them even fear that if they complain their work will never be done. It is a very complex issue," Gupta said.

"Groups of six students have started the ground work to start of the helpline. They have conducted a small survey on corruption. They have also visited various state agencies like Anti-Corruption Bureau, Regional Transport Office and other state government agencies like police," he added.

"The helpline will assist those who just need counselling regarding their rights at various levels," Gupta said.

"A plan is also there to forward the complaints of corruption received by the helpline to the agencies concerned. However, for this we require the support of all the law-enforcing agencies. Talks are on with them and we will see how it works out," Gupta said.

"We also have to look into complaints coming to us, scrutinise them and sort out to detect whether they are real or fabricated ones, so that upright government officers are not harassed due to this initiative," he added.

Ravi Yadav, who is a part of the project, said, "In our proposed model, the complaints received shall be pre-screened by retired officials, before being fed into our online complaint database."

"We are looking at integrating our corruption helpline with an agency like ACB so that database generated through this model helps create pressure on departments regarding which complaints are being reported," Yadav said.

Apart from Yadav, five other students who have taken up the project are Udit Goyal, Saurabh Singh, Nikhil Bhaskar, Shantanu Sekhar and Daniel De Luna, a student from Italy.

Professor Gupta said, "I think this will be a first step in the right direction. It will build pressure on corrupt officials and also inspire people to come forward against the menace."

Wharton/NMIMS grad and world’s first visually-impaired trader Ashish Goyal to receive President’s award

Years ago as an NMIMS Mumbai student, a corporate house told Ashish Goyal (during placements) to find himself a job in the government sector, since it has a quota system for the physically challenged. Having turned blind in his teens, Ashish did not take the advice lightly. He not only got himself placed at ING Vysya but also stood second in his batch at NMIMS. Later, Ashish went on to do an MBA from The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. Today, the Bombay boy has a plum job at JP Morgan’s London operations.

Over the years, Ashish has not only earned milestones in his professional space but also done plenty in his personal life — from learning to play Brazilian drums and learning the Argentine tango to boxing and performing on stage, besides many other things. He is currently in India to receive the National Award for the Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, 2010 from the President of India.

What does this award mean to you in real terms. Do awards make a difference at all?

This award means a lot to me, it’s special to be recognised and I am really humbled. Frankly it has not sunk in, meeting the President, meeting other award winners. I am really excited. The difference that this will make, well, the most important thing is that encouragement works wonders for everyone I would think.

We get lost in this race called life so much, that a special moment like this makes you take a step back, acknowledge the recognition and thank God for all that has happened. It’s reinvigorating to keep doing the best you can. Also, if this award helps spread awareness and helps change people’s attitudes towards people with disabilities… that will be the best outcome.

Describe what you do for a living and whether it has enriched your existence and vice-versa.

I work for JP Morgan’s Chief Investment Office and we help manage the bank’s exposure in various markets across different geographies. It’s a very significant and satisfying role at a bank like JP Morgan, which has a huge balance sheet and large exposures. Proper balance sheet management can make a tremendous impact to all stakeholders from depositors, clients to shareholders and employees.

Vice-versa, well all I can say is that I am happy that I have been able to live up to expectations and hope to keep doing the same going forward. Also being a student of macro-economics and geopolitics, my job keeps me sharp and interested in this ever changing dynamic world.

Do you think Indian b-schools are responsive to people with mental or physical challenges? There is this physically challenged boy fighting a long legal battle with the IIMs after being denied admission.

My answer will be a little dated, as I have not lived in India for 5 years now and I applied to Indian business schools back in 2000. The main difference in my two experiences (in India and in the US) is this: abroad, there is a clear process and system to deal with students and applicants with disabilities, of course helped by regulations. Internationally, as with Wharton, it was pretty easy when it came to following the process and providing a level playing ground. Where as in India, the process was not streamlined and a lot of adhoc decision making would need to happen on the basis of perceptions even though regulations existed.

This was not just the case in b-schools, I would say that was true of most institutes. What Wharton did, was it gave me a level playing field to compete and learn on merit… and that’s all we require I guess… the rest is up to ability.

Is there anything that you are doing or would like to do in the sphere of helping those visually challenged?

I have fleetingly been in touch with this organization called Enable India. It’s a great model, training disabled individuals to become independent and acquire the right skill sets for a job, then working with companies to get them to hire these people, and finally making sure that the first few months the transition goes smoothly.

I am also involved with 2 other issues, education through Pratham which reaches out to the poor and educating kids for free, and the Akshay Patra Foundation, which is Asia’s largest mid-day meal program.

Is there a better sense of concern for those ‘challenged’ abroad than in India? Here, even getting a ramp made in a housing society is a big hassle.

Yes, as mentioned, there is a difference in terms of infrastructure and facilities, but hopefully that is changing, as the government and a lot of non-profit organisations are working towards that change. But most importantly I feel individuals like you and I need to be more receptive and accepting.

One important thing that needs to be mentioned is that people with disabilities are individuals who have gone through various circumstances and are very different to each other. It’s not fair to club all of them as the same… and even less fair to club all kinds of disabilities as the same. I have no idea what I would do or how people in a wheelchair cope or what about people with not-so-obvious disabilities or challenges like learning or mental disabilities.

What kind of vocations would you advise physically challenged persons take up given the job market scenario? The Indian government has gone only as far as giving out PCO booths.

In India and abroad, I have met disabled individuals like me doing all kinds of jobs. I believe it comes down to ambition and practicality combined. When I was going through recruiting from NMIMS, I was shocked when one of the companies told me that I should begin my career in a government organization as they have quotas and that they would not interview me. I could have given up hope then and there, but I really don’t see a lot of issues for disabled people doing various things. There are lawyers, media professionals, bankers, IT professionals, teachers, you name it…

Have you thought of designing products, furniture or gadgets for those with disabilities and challenges?

I have offered to be a tester for a couple of products and whenever I have any idea, I speak to my friends who work in a similar field. There are people and companies across the world working on this.

Have you learnt cooking? That’s what you said you wanted to learn, the last time around.

Yes, but do I cook? No, I hate the entire cleaning process that follows.

Where do you see yourself five years down the line?

I want to definitely do something for the country (India). Don’t yet know in what shape or form. The way my life has evolved, I think 5 years is a long time, but hopefully I will have discovered my calling by then.

Is there something you’d like to say to those who think their lives are always on the downturn?

I don’t feel any issue is too small or too big. I think one can make it small or big. If there is an issue, finding a solution and working through it is the best approach because only we can affect that change instantly or attempt it. If we feel there is no hope and don’t see a solution it will be difficult for others to help. It’s most important not to run away from those issues, but work with them and take them head on.

What do you do when you get depressed?

Eat chocolates. Nope, kidding. I guess I call up my closest friends and talk about it… go change my mood… ponder… and sleep… its depressing being depressed, so I try and limit it .

You are one lucky guy to have your family with you? Not all physically-challenged people are as fortunate.

I can’t even imagine my life without my Guruji and my family. I feel very fortunate to have such an amazing support system, blessings and some great friends. I don’t know if I can advise anyone here, but I would say for others, when you see someone like this, please lend them your hand. Being nice to people doesn’t cost anything and your simple act could change someone else’s world. I can’t even enumerate the number of times living alone in a foreign land, absolute strangers, who I will probably never meet again, have helped me or made life easier for me.

What do you do in your free time?

I love meeting people. People are fascinating to me, amazing people all across the world. I also like writing and watching theatre, trying out different cuisines and traveling. I have been lucky to have travelled in four different continents, especially in the last four years… soaking in cultures and stories from different parts of the world. I enjoy learning different things and enjoy a lot of different things. Over the past 3-4 years have learnt Bateria (Brazilian drums) and performed on stage and in a club, learnt Argentine tango, am learning boxing, have taken a few writing workshop. I feel learning different things is very fulfilling… I also love sports, can watch sports and play sports forever… last year I represented London’s Metro Club in the domestic blind cricket league, and guess what, we won… and yes… last but not the least… am always up for a challenge on the Nintendo Wii – tennis is one game I can play without seeing.

Who is your ideal date?

Too personal a question (don’t wanna spill the beans actually… haha…). Well I enjoy the company of intelligent and interesting women in general.

Would you have achieved so much had fate not been cruel to you when you were in your teens and when you lost your vision to retinitis pigmentosa after being born with proper vision?

My guruji Dr Balaji Tambe has been my guiding force and I would have crumbled without him. I have pondered at length about this question and about the saying – everything happens for the best. If I had regular sight, I could easily see myself being a very average spoiled kid, doing nothing with my life and living an inconsequential existence. Well, that would be taking the worst case scenario for sure, but this disability made me focus and work hard for everything, and most importantly it made me believe in myself and gave me an attitude to keep trying , giving my best, and enjoying every experience.

Do you think your MBA degree has got you where you are today? Or do you believe you had it in you to circumvent every obstacle?

The people I met in my MBA years, the opportunities I got have been overwhelming. I would relive my MBA experience anytime. An MBA can make a major difference in your life if you know what you want out of it. There are so many things you could choose from and so many ways in which you can shape yourself… and improve your career and social life. It’s easy also to not do anything sometimes, but believe me that would be such a waste of opportunity.

CAT 2012 may be a computer adaptive test held throughout the year

The Common Admissions Test (CAT) 2010 completed its 20-day run on November 24, 2010, paving the way for the results which shall be declared on January 12, 2011.

A total of 204,267 candidates had registered for the computer-based test which was held across 78 centers in 33 cities using 246 testing labs and 9,000+ computers. No technical snags or glitches were reported during the testing window that began on October 27 and ended November 24.

“All the testing sites were taken over by us on October 10, two weeks in advance of the test. This time we took care to include only those venues which met our stringent demands and specifications in terms of infrastructure quality and network capacity,” said CAT 2010 Convenor and IIM Lucknow Professor Himanshu Rai at a press conference organized by CAT’s testing agency Prometric in New Delhi.

Almost immediately, Prof Rai also announced that in the coming years candidates will be able to take the CAT any time of the year.

“We have to get to a stage where the CAT is available to candidates throughout the year. That is indeed the way forward. For this we will have to move away from the linear fixed form method of testing we are using now to linear on-the-fly testing based on item response theory,” he said.

The biggest implication of this change is that the CAT would turn into an adaptive test, just like the Graduate Management Aptitude Test (GMAT). Each candidate will get a dynamically generated CAT question paper based on his or her real-time performance during the test. The second-biggest implication is that the results of the test will be available immediately after the candidate ends the exam, unlike the two-month wait for CAT results in the existing system.

“We need to gather a critical number of psychometrically tested questions before we go perennial,” he added.

“While this full change to the adaptive system may happen only by CAT 2012, CAT 2011 could be held as a partial linear on-the-fly test. Such a test would be something in between a fixed-paper test and a fully adaptive test. For the candidates, it will mean quicker results,” Prof Rai explained while adding the disclaimer that the final decision about the testing system of CAT 2011 lay in the hands of next year’s CAT Committee.

IIM Lucknow Director and member of the CAT 2010 Committee Prof Devi Singh hinted at the formation of an independent body under the tutelage of the IIMs that will look after the CAT fulltime.”We want to hand over the CAT to an independent organization which will be part of the IIM system, either as a separate company or a society. We dont want to burden the faculty with this responsibility (of looking after the CAT) throughout the year,” he said. The company thus formed will coordinate with Prometric to get the CAT executed. IIM Bangalore Director Prof Pankaj Chandra had already initiated the process to set up such a body, Prof Singh added.

Now that the computer-based CAT has had a successful run, the IIMs also plan to take the bold step of holding the exam in countries outside India and positioning the CAT as an alternative to the GMAT in countries such as Sri Lanka, Nepal, South East Asia and Middle East.

“CAT has to be taken across frontiers, we have to go offshore. Formal meetings with Sri Lankan b-schools have already started on this front. Apart from increasing the reach of the CAT, going abroad will also expose us to the best global practices,” Prof Rai said.

Apart from announcing these changes, The CAT Convenor also said that the CAT 2011 vouchers will be sold on the web through online payment systems next year. “The 90-minute waiting time before the beginning of the test will also be reduced considerably,” he added.

MICA intake rises to 180, CAT-less admissions increase batch diversity

The Mudra Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad (MICA) which parted ways with the Common Admission Test (CAT) last year, is observing surprising changes in the composition of the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Communications) batch.

In the PGDM(C) batch of 2009-11, whose participants had applied to MICA using their CAT 2008 scores, 66% of the batch consists of engineers. The batch of 2010-12, which was admitted using MICA’s own Admission Test (MICAT) only (and no CAT), the students with engineering constitute constitute 59%.

MICA believes that doing away with the CAT has made the batch more versatile. Almost 15% of the 2010-12 batch has students from fashion, media and other streams. The proportion of students from the humanities or social sciences background has increased from 7% in batch 2009-11 to 10% in batch 2010-12. The share of science graduates has dipped from 13% in 2009-11 to 6% in the current batch.

“The course that MICA offers and the student profiles it needs are different from those in regular MBA schools. With the CAT score requirement gone, the doors of MICA have opened to many others who might not have done well in the CAT but have good creative and communication skills,” said Prof Shubhra Gaur, MICA’s admissions chairperson.

“We are hoping that more candidates from non-engineering and non-science backgrounds apply and get through MICA. The big difference between CAT and MICAT is how they scan students for the institute. Where CAT used to eliminate students and only the selected candidates were tested for the needed skill set, MICAT is an open field and will give an equal opportunity to the students who are not so good in quant,” said Prof Gaur.

For the admissions that open this year, MICA’s PGDM(C) intake also increases to 180 seats from the existing 120. The fee for the batch has been fixed at Rs 11 lakhs.

MICAT will also be held in three more cities this year – Hyderabad, Chennai and Guwahati — taking the total number of test centers to 10.

The institute has seen a constant increase of between 5 to 10% in the number of candidate applying to the institute every year. They are expecting that the number of applicants will increase further this year. On being asked by PaGaLGuY, Prof Gaur refused to share the absolute numbers of the number of applicants to MICA in the previous years. (However, we’d wager that the total number of applicants in the 2009-10 admission season would have been in the range of 5,500-6,000. Reason: in 2006, the MICA Director had quoted the total number of applicants for the 2005-06 season at 4,500. Going by the average growth rate of 7.5% quoted by Prof Gaur, and assuming a drop in applications during the 2008 economic recession, the total number of applications to MICA by now can be estimated in the range of 5,500-6,000).

The school is also making incremental changes to the PGDM(C) curriculum. “The subjects that are being paid a lot of emphasis are the ones that are gaining importance worldwide such as climate change communication, health communication and developmental communication. The institute is also training students in golf and some other sports with an initiative to make the graduates wholistic and grounded personalities. There is a spirituality centre that will soon be inaugurated in the campus for the students’ mental health.”

Law firm L&S hired students to work on strategy. This was the first time such a profile was offered at IIM Calcutta. CRY recruited for the social sector.

Slot-based process vs IIM Ahmedabad’s Cohort-based process

IIM Calcutta, though is in close contact with IIM Ahmedabad and watching how the Cohort-based placement system is working for the latter, continues with the slot-based placement system.

The placement committee chairperson of IIM Calcutta, professor Amit Dhiman told PaGaLGuY, “Both the systems have their advantages and disadvantages. Though we know how the Cohort-based system works, IIM Calcutta for now does not have plans of adopting it. We are reviewing our process, but for the upcoming final placement season we will continue with the regular process.”

Sharing some of the comments that recruiters have made to him, Prof Dhiman said, “Where the cohort-based process gives a lot of time to the students and recruiters to make their choice, it might also lead to job losses. In the long term, the companies might reduce the number of offers they give. Some recruiters have also shared their confusion about how the cohorts and clusters are formed.”

He adds, “I personally feel, the process become time-consuming and students stay distracted from their academic routine for a long time. The pressure on one hand in said to reduce on the students, but I feel, it might also add to the anxiety of the students, if they have to wait till the last cohort.”

Naukri.Com

With a bachelors in Economics from St Stephen's, Delhi and a diploma in management from IIM (A) and a stint with advertising and GlaxoSmithkline (then HMM), Sanjeev Bikhchandani, co-founder and CEO, InfoEdge (India) , better known by its Web site naukri.com, is today sitting over a business worth Rs 45 crore (Rs 450 million) with 600 employees and 35 offices all over the country.

The GlaxoSmithkline days

It was during my stint with Glaxosmithkline (then HMM) that I realised that employees love talking about jobs and career movement. I realised jobs are an extremely high interest information category for almost all people and headhunting had tremendous potential.

First taste of entrepreneurship

I started out as a partnership firm in 1989, where I was a sleeping partner. By 1990 I had concluded that there was probably a large, highly fragmented database of jobs out there with HR managers and headhunters which, if someone were to aggregate and keep current, would be a very valuable resource.

We set up office in the servant's quarter above the garage in my father's house, paying my father a rent of Rs 800. For the first few years we did salary surveys and built and marketed a database of pharmaceutical trademarks.

Though the company was kept afloat, I was unable to draw a salary and we ran the house on my wife's salary. To meet my personal expenses, I would teach at business schools as visiting faculty on weekends.

It was in response to a Department of Telecom's (DoT) advertisement to launch a videotex service in Delhi that I prepared a database of jobs. It was a pay-to-view model, where initially the employer would be allowed to host his job free and we would earn from the revenue share the DoT would give us. But the project never took off.

Turning point

It was on my visit to IT Asia in 1996 that I came to know of the World Wide Web. To register my website and get a domain name, I had to take help from my brother, who lived in the US and has a stake in the company. The naukri.com site was set up in March 1997 as a division of InfoEdge.

What was interesting was that I could not get any domain name I wanted (all such names which had the word job were already registered) and had to settle down with the Hindi term "naukri", which actually makes it different from other jobsites today. At this point I was joined by Anil Lall, the chief technical officer and V N Saroja, chief operating officer.

Dual responsibility

With the recession, I had to take up a part-time job, but in the same domain area. Between 1996 and 2000, I also worked atThe Pioneer. Initially, the consulting editor of Avenues -- the careers supplement of The Pioneer -- I was instrumental in working out an investment package with a consortium of four financial institutions -- ICICI, IDBI, IFCI and UTI.

In the morning, I used to work for naukri.com, go to The Pioneer during the day and then get back to naukri.com in the evening.

Reaping fruits of success

Naukri.com became profitable from the second year. Today, we have a profit after tax of Rs 8.5 crore (Rs 85 million). It was now time for expansion. InfoEdge aquired Jeevansathi in September 2004. Besides, we have an offline recruitment business through our venture Quadrangle.

Today, naukri.com gets over 100 million page views a month and has over 3.5 million registered users. It is estimated that over 700,000 people have found jobs through naukri.com. Over 15,000 organisations have used the site for recruitment. In August-September we intend to launch a real estate portal.

The site had a revenue of just over Rs 200,000 in the first year of operations. In the second year, however, revenue quickly climbed to Rs 1.2 million.

I made do with my own finances till 2000, when I got funding from ICICI Venture Capital. So far, we have taken only one round of venture capital of Rs 7.3 crore (Rs 73 million).

They Didn't need College

How many times were you told to make sure you worked hard in high school so you could go to college and get a good career job? Okay, maybe not all of you got nagged about it, but probably a good portion of today’s generation of adults did.

It’s natural to wonder whether college is really necessary. A college degree, as many have found, is no guarantee of a good career. On the flipside, there are many successful entrepreneurs who didn’t need their college education and become millionaires anyway. Here are fifteen of them, both contemporary and from the past, in alphabetical order.

Mary Kay Ash. The founder of Mary Kay Inc. started a cosmetics business. While she didn’t have a college education or any training, she successfully created a brand known throughout the world. To date, nearly half a million women have started Mary Kay businesses, selling cosmetics. Theirappreciation for Mary Kay Ash is unwavering.
Richard Branson. Richard Branson is best known for his thrill seeking spirit and outrageous business tactics. He dropped out at the age of 16 and started his first successful business venture, Student Magazine. He is the owner of the Virgin brand and its 360 companies. His companies include Virgin Megastore and Virgin Atlantic Airway.
Coco Chanel. An orphan for many years, Gabrielle CocoChanel trained as a seamstress. Determined to invent herself, she threw out the ideas that the fashion world deemed feminine, boldly using fabric and styles normally reserved for men. A perfume bearing her name, Chanel No. 5 kept her name famous.
Simon Cowell. Simon Cowell started in a mailroom for a music publishing company. He has since become an Artist and Repertoire (A&R) executive for Sony BMG in the UK, and a television producer and judge for major television talent contests including American Idol.
Michael Dell. With $1,000, dedication and desire, Michael Delldropped out of college at age 19 to start PC’s Limited, later named Dell, Inc. Dell became the most profitable PC manufacturer in the world. In 1996, The Michael and Susan Dell Foundation offered a $50 million grant to The University of Texas at Austin to be used for children’s health and education in the city.
Barry Diller. Fox Broadcasting Company was started by a college dropout, Barry Diller. Diller is now chairman of Expedia, and CEO of of IAC/Int erActiveCorp which includes Home Shopping Network and Ticketmaster.
Walt Disney. Having dropped out of high school at 16, Walt Disney’s career and accomplishments are astounding. The most influential animator, Disney holds the record for the most awards and nominations. Disney’s imagination included cartoons and theme parks. The Walt Disney Company now has annual revenue of $30 billion.
Debbi Fields. As a young, 20 year old housewife with no business experience, Debbi Fields started Mrs. Fields Chocolate Chippery. With a recipe for chocolate chip cookies, this young woman became the most successful cookie company owner. She later renamed, franchised, then sold Mrs. Field’s Cookies.
Henry Ford. At 16, Henry Ford left home to apprentice as a machinist. He later started Ford Motor Company tomanufacture automobiles. Ford’s first major success, the Model T, allowed Ford to open a large factory and later start the assembly line production, revolutionalizing the auto-making industry.
Bill Gates. Ranked as the world’s richest person from 1995-2006, Bill Gates was a college drop out. He started the largest computer software company, Microsoft Corporation. Gates and his wife are philanthropists, starting The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with a focus on global health and learning.
Milton Hershey. With only a fourth grade education, Milton Hershey started his own chocolate company. Hershey’s Milk Chocolate became the first nationally marketed chocolate. Hershey also focused on building a wonderful community for his workers, known as Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Steve Jobs. After attending one semester of college, SteveJobs worked for Atari before co-founding Apple Computers.

CAT not a Paper pencil test anymore.

2009-07-03T19:53:00.005+05:30

CAT 2009: Frequently Asked Questions (1 July 2009)

I hear that CAT will be held online. Is that correct?
CAT is going to be a computer based test (CBT) and not internet based test (IBT). I.e. Candidate does not take the test on an internet site. Instead of reading the questions in a paper booklet and darkening the ovals on the answer-sheet, a candidate will read the questions on a computer terminal and choose an answer by clicking on the correct option.

I hear that CAT will be a computer adaptive test. Is that correct?
No, CAT is not going to be a computer adaptive test.

Will the format of the test change?
The format of the test will remain more or less the same except that a candidate reads question on a computer terminal and clicks on the correct answer.

Can I take the test from any computer?
No. A candidate will take the test only at designated test venues in about 25 cities across India. Detailed information will be provided in the CAT 2009 advertisement.

But how do I do rough-work and calculations while arriving at the answers?
At the test venue, each candidate will be seated at a desk with a computer terminal and he/she will be provided with a writing pad with numbered pages for calculations. After the test, candidate must leave the pad including all the pages in it at the desk. Rough-work cannot be done on any other paper/sheet as nothing will be allowed to be taken inside the test hall.

Can you give more details on taking test in a CBT format?
We will be giving more details at a later stage.

But when is the CAT 2009 advertisement going to appear in newspapers?
Advertisement for CAT 2009 will appear during the later part of August 2009.

How much is the test fee for CAT 2009 and how do I pay?

Candidate Testing Fee is Rs. 1,400 (Rs. 700 for SC/ST candidates). A prospective candidate buys a CAT 2009 Voucher from designated locations/bank branches after advertisement appears in newspapers. Sufficient time will be given for purchasing the voucher. More details will be available on our websites after the advertisement appears in newspapers.

How do I register for CAT 2009?
The Voucher bought by the candidate gives instructions on how to register for CAT 2009. At this time, it would suffice to say that candidates are expected visit CAT website to register for CAT 2009. Sufficient amount of time will be given to register online. More details will be given in the advertisement and the voucher.

How do I get my admit card for the test?
After you fill-in, review, and submit the registration information during online registration, you will receive an email
containing your Admit Card.

Does that mean I need to have an E-mail account?
Yes, you must have a valid E-mail account throughout the selection process.

What do I need to bring at the time of test?
You must bring the printed copy of the admit card, one picture ID, and any other ID not necessarily with a picture. Do not bring any other material and personal belongings with you, for no personal belongings and materials will be allowed in test-hall. More details will be provided later.

Can you please tell me when will the CAT 2009 be conducted?

CAT 2009 will be conducted during a ten-day window starting at the end of November 2009. Exact dates will be mentioned in the advertisement.

Can I take CAT more than once during the testing window?

When are CAT 2009 result expected to be declared?

CAT is now CBT

2009-07-03T19:40:00.002+05:30

Dear CAT aspirants,

CAT is going to be CBT from this year.IIMS have announced that on 1st july 2009. The test will be conducted in a window of about 10 days, towards the end of the year. Click here to see the official communication of T.I.M.E. with the IIMs.

The Common Admission Test (CAT) of the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) at

Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Kolkata, Indore, Kozhikode, Lucknow, and Shillong is going to be a

Computer Based Test (CBT) from this year onwards. The test will be conducted in a window

of about ten days sometime at the end of the calendar year. CBT CAT will be a candidatefriendly

test in terms of flexibility in the selection of test date, ease of registration process,

better physical environment and test experience, and enhanced security in terms of

biometric identification of candidates and video monitoring. CBT format also would improve

communication between candidates and IIMs in terms of programme information, test

delivery, receipt of admit cards, and receipt of score reports.

IIMs have been conducting CAT in paper-&-pencil format for the last 33 years. This test is

reputed to be the toughest entrance test for management and business schools worldwide.

With growing student aspirations to undertake management education, the number of

candidates appearing for CAT has been increasing manifold. While about 95,000

candidates took CAT in 2003, the number rose to about 250,000 in 2008 indicating a rise of

a whopping 163 percent. This has resulted in severe strain on the administrative system of

IIMs to conduct CAT in its existing format.

CBT is a natural culmination of the modernization CAT has undergone. In the late 1960s,

multiple choice questions (MCQ), an educational testing innovation, was introduced for the

first time in the entrance examinations of IIMs. Later, in the late 1970s, entrance tests of

different IIMs were merged to form CAT. In the late 1980s, another technology feature was

introduced in the form of optical machine reading (OMR) of the answer-sheets. Today, CAT

is poised to take a CBT format comparable to the existing tests such as GMAT, GRE, and

TOEFL but at substantially lower cost.
