Well i have gone through lot of views in this thread....

I would like to share something

Lets take my case
I quit my job 6 months before CAT to study for it....My parents completely supported me here
This was my first attempt and i had decided to do slog day in and day out to finally get enough confidence to do well (Basically get IIM calls)

Right through all my Simcats i scored 99+ consistently.. Felt fairly confident...
MY parents hopes rise....I continue working hard...

Finally the D-Day comes
I write the paper to the best of my ability
Expected a really really good score.....
Then the results come....

MY scorecard reads
QA- 99.31
DI - 98.01
VA - 81.03
OA - 99.33
No IIM CALLS

At that moment in time..i just cannot describe my feeling....
A feeling of emptiness came over me.....
For 2 hours i did not know what to do....
MY reaction was in total contrast to my parents...who were overjoyed at the prospect that there son had secured more marks than 99% of the aspirants.
I sat down and explained to my parents...that how my score was not was not enough to get me a call....I then mentioned about the various quotas in place.
My parents were definitely disappointed but they asked me to dream beyond the IIM`s

NExt come two killer blows.....
First one
I got to the post office to send my IMT form....i meet a guy there who was also sending certain documents to IIM B...
I get into a conversation with him..and he mentions that he is from the reserved category and has scored 87.92 percentile and has got 5 IIM calls...During the conversations he happened to mention that he basically just filled the CAT form for "TP"...and wrote it without studying..
HE sends the form and promptly drives off in his Honda Accord...

Imagine What i must have felt at that time....

Another cruel twist of fate
I download the CAT answer keys released by the IIMs...To my absolute horror there is a discrepancy of 10 marks in the verbal from what it should have been...I file an RTI... Still waiting for a response....
I still sit and brood over what the opportunity that i been denied.....

Well i have since moved on....trying to forget what has happened.....
Been positive throughout...managed to get good converts

But today on 10th April 2008 with this verdict i feel "Shattered"...I may not have anything to with the IIMs now...but u shudder to think about those who might want to follow my path and dedicate a part of their lives for CAT...I truly feel this verdict might just break the dreams of many future aspirants...

To all the current IIM call getters....I sincerely wish u guys all the very best to overcome this difficult period...You have my complete support in any agitation you may wish against this judgement....

PS: I have nothing against the reserved claases...but there is a limit fr everything...

Sorry for this long post...but i had to get it out!!!
