Seriousness flew out of my life exactly three years back. After I wrote the last digit on the Math Paper in the XII board, life has been a joy-ride for me. Going uphill, having fun, most of the time. Small valleys during semesters (that don't require any fervent preparation) and during internals (that always have the lovely best two out of three policy).
But the dreaded hour has arrived now. Fear and apprehension are undergoing an inflationary phase, fuelled by the release of CAT'09 results. Freshers are allegedly not many in number in the selected list. The tests were not fair (too many reasons which are already quite well-known. Will blog on them if I find time). And now the selection criteria have come under criticism. Today I heard a shattering news that a 99.6 percentiler (a fresher) has not got any call so far!
Where will everything lead to??!! What is going to be my position in a year's time??

There should be more transparency. Maybe they should post the questions and answers with the scores.
But we don't know all the facts.
Have all the 99.6 people in the past got calls?
GRE also follows computer pattern on different days. Any problems reported from that side? Granted, the score given in GRE is absolute and the test is adaptive.
Can we successfully challenge the mighty IIMs? Fat chance. The only power we have is boycott, and no sane student would consider that, even in his/her dreams.
There has been a change of management at IIMs, i think. IIMA chief Dholakia retired last year. The new guy isn't as old school, obviously.
IIMs are private instis for all intents and purposes. They will do what they consider reasonable. They are Ayn Randian archetypes, and this is what you get from such guys.:-)
