unequal status in CAT exam
by raja on Sep 29, 2004 02:56 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

B.Com students who stand first rank in B.Com exams with skills to do wonderful calculations and credit balance etc are finding that they are unable to actch up the speed of engineering students writing CAT. Why should not different scales be used for CAT evaluation for diff categories of students.

Management Institutes like IMM fail to practice management practice for a fair play at its own services...what a pity

i agree with u raja about the fact that one from a b.com background is totally different from a engineer grad, yes he is different as far as technical knowledge is concerned, but MBA is nowhere related to technical knowledge...its all about your stratergy...your planning ...how u manage the things...it has nothing to do with engineering/technical knowledge, ... its all abt ur attitude...it all abt the management skill u have gained in your life.
i hope i have represented a unbiased view
u r most welcome for any cross-questions to my email ID raman_vinocha@rediffmail.com or raman.vinocha@gmail.com
thanks & all the best to u for ur future endeavors

Warm Regards,
Raman

As a student of IIM (IIM Calcutta ,PGDM 2006), I can assure you that it is not true that the same yardstick is used to judge the students from different academic backgrounds like Arts and Engineering.If that were true, you would find no one but only IITians at IIMs.
In fact, the cut offs are different for people for different streams when the calls are given, thus, an engineering student with 95 percentile in quant may not get an IIM call but a humanities student with as low as 87-88 percentile in quant may get all the calls.
I would like to request people not to act on heresay coz CAT may be considered the most impartial exam in India.
