PG Underdogs Team (UDT) '08 -
26-09-2008, 10:35 AM
Here is the pg Underdog Team 2008.
Selection Criteria for the team will remain almost similar to that of UDT 2006/2007. Here it goes (Thanks to Arun Unkil/Anir_IIM2005)
Proposed Criteria for Selection to Underdog Team:-
- Should not have ranked in top 100 in AIMCAT or SIMCAT etc. more than once (One time is allowed).
- Should have great motivation to do well in CAT and show the PG that he can bell the CAT.
Anymore additions in criteria are welcome.
Proposed procedure for Selection:-
Anyone desiring for selection to Underdog Team should post on this thread with his performance record in Mock CATs for CAT 2007, and why he/she thinks he/she should be a part of this team.
Total 16 members will be selected democratically (Captain + 10 playing members + 2 Reserves + 2 Cheerleaders + 1 Coach). But everyone else is welcome to take part in the journey of UDT till CAT and post CAT also.
-Selectors :-
Harshadk (IIMK, UDT 2006/2007)
Somname (IIMC, UDT 2006/2007)
Macora (IIMC, UDT 2007)
Prem_Ravi (UDT 2007/Captain/Coach-UDT 2007)
reachmonil - (UDT2006/2007)
We are carrying forward a legacy which is already a part of pg Hall Of Fame (UDT 2006/UDT 2007). That makes us proud while making our responsibilities bigger. Knowing puys though, the bigger the responsibility, I am sure better will be the response. So, let’s get started. UDT 2008 is officially open. Nominations can start from now on. Give the selectors some sleepless nights.
Last Date For Nomination For UDT - 30th September, 2007 (Before 5 PM)
Date Of Announcement Of UDT 2008 - 1st October, 2008
Please make sure that only one post for nomination is there. Mock scores can be updated by editing that single post. Don't post multiple times for that.
UDT 2008 – Here We Go. Let’s Do It Together. Chak De…..
Note: This is the results showed by UDT 2008 so far....

Waiting for this moment since long 
Some Back ground :-
UDT' 07 member  
CAT 2005 : 90 %le
CAT 2006 : 97.99 %le
CAT 2007 : 95.03 %le
Verbal being the main culprit in all the 3 cases 
Haven't been much in the Mock cat business this year, but gave them once in a while. Scoring 95 %le on an average  Now raring to put all my energy into it I am pumped up now  and with UDT round the corner, I am sure it would do a whole lot of good for my prep
Hoping to pick up the momentum just at the right time
Cheers and all the best to all the nominees :gunsmilie:
Edit : This is my nomination  Forgot to mention that

Throughout this journey called life, most of us just go on with the tide, led by the circumstances, take direction which others have decided for us. I was no different – after finishing my schooling with not so bad marks, took up an engineering degree and landed up a decent job. As I understood more about life I realized somewhere inside something was missing. Then began a period of self-introspection and I found that what I yearned to do and what I was doing were not in sync. My goals, my skill sets were different and thus began my quest for MBA.
There goes an adage-“When a defining moment comes along, you define the moment, or the moment defines you.” I gave CAT last year and scored 96.45%ile missing the quant cut-off. Got an IMT call and converted for IT course but did not take it up. Had some other calls like FMS, SCMHRD and NMIMS but could not convert. Probably life wanted to test me some more before I joined my dream college. This time around I choose to define the moment called CAT and will be writing it to succeed and to redeem myself.
MY SCORES:-
http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/cat-an...ml#post1164034
Reasons for being in UDT:- Have been there and done that. I have given CAT and other exams once, have gathered a fair amount of experience and know what (not) to do.
- I am a true underdog – never scored exceedingly high marks but have it in me to do well.
- Determined to crack CAT this time – would give everything for it.
- I am a motivated individual and will contribute to the team in any way possible.
- I am an active member on PG.
I firmly believe that being in this team will enable me to rub shoulders with the best brains in the business, work together and co-operate with each other towards the common cause – cracking CAT’2008. I hope to get in and uphold the glorious tradition of UDT.
Thus I throw in my hat for the nominations for UDT’2008.

Aloha...! 
A long awaited thread is finally open
Wishing ye all, all the best. Now I wonder, do I have to post my scores for being a cheerleader? And I would like to be officially called the 'beerleader'. I do not accept my job under any other condition. :mG:
Have fun!

Re: PG Underdogs Team (UDT) '08 -
26-09-2008, 01:17 PM
Finally...been waiting for it for almost a month...the legacy continues...
Let me introduce myself...
Track Record:
CAT 2007: 98.83 (V-99.89,Q-93.17, DI-82.22)
XAT 2008: 98.3
SNAP 81.25
Mock Record: (link in my signature)
2 99+;
Best Air: 348 Time; 79(IMS)
Above 90 in all but 3...average 94...
Last yr, wrote CAT for the first time, without much expectations, not much preps..no mocks...had a wish to get arnd 96-97...towards the end, last 10 days...slogged a bit...got in touch with basics...
D-day...solved without any pressure...came out happy @ end of 2.5 hrs...
got 98.83 with an indore call...wrote XAT but cudnt get enuf for XL call...
wrote FMS, SNAP also...but nothing noteworthy there...
This yr wat is different is tat now i belief i can crack it, and rub my shoulders against the best, and still come out with my head held high...
So to sum it up...i have been there, done that...but cudnt manage the knock-out punch...but tat has made me more determined to it this time...
Reasons for being in UDT: - Underdog, in true sense of the word...can give the best a run for their money on my day.
- Been there done that.
- Desire to rub my shoulders with the best
- Desire to help and be helped
- Experienced: know the do's and dont's...
- Additional motivational factor for me...to be part of a legacy
Member of MMDT, so wish to take it to a bigger stage...
With this I enter myself in the contention...
@Greenspan: Honoured tat u thot of me as worthy enuf...
P.S.:
Coach: Anirban/Somname/chopsuey
Beerleader: Greenspan
Cheerleader: harshadk

Re: PG Underdogs Team (UDT) '08 -

Home....sweet home...true home..
My not so illustrious Record:
season 2007: Didn't appear for any exams
season 2006:
CAT-2006- 77%ile(QA- 99.5%ile, LRDI 95+%ile..EURC- 1 marks... :( )
JMET2007:- some 1684 odd rank....no calls from anywhere..
XAT-2007 :- some odd 90 %ile
This season:-
CL mocks:My detailed scores are in my signature....
Mock scores: best rank 16...99.93 %ile...worst...78%ile...
under hundred:- twice...ranks 16 and 35(i hope u people consider my case)
worst rank:- some 3185 :(
Below 90...thrice...avg...95-97%ile
My eternal nemesis being the verbal section....surprised me in 2006 and does the same even now sometimes...working over it very hard...QA and LRDI are the best friends in such a time of need...always push me up...
looking forward to ths season with some real ammunition as unlike 2006..when i was guided by myself only...no extra coaching... no wat not to do sort of list...no dunt do nonsense attitude...now m prepared for all surprises...nd also to pitch in some of my own...to those who consider me just a one tym wonder..
WHY UDT:
Have the ability to swing the things in my favour on any given day.
Have the cool and patience of mind which makes me perform my best....even with jus 20 questions per section or 40 questions per section
Want to prove to everyone who thinks I m a one time wonder.
Love being called an underdog, as it gives me the fire from within to go for it and be the surprise element.
MMDT member, so have an idea of knowhow of the concept of team.
Wishing to be in the team, I hereby by enter my nomination.

My details:
SNAP 2005: SIIB call, didnt go
CAT 2006: 91%ile (QA: 67%ile, DI: 88%ile, VA: 97%ile)
Qualified for JMET but could not get through any further
CAT 2007 - Did not apprear
My mock story so far:
Never got into top 100:sly:, best score is around 97%ile and almost two three times in 90s. Overall, lot of fluctuations in the score. Rest details are there in my signature.
Reason i want to be a part of UDT:
- Wanna prove that i have what it takes to be there in the covated brown bricked corridors.
- Ability to drive myself and other team members to strive hard for the success.
- 1000% commitment towards cracking the CAT.
- Desperate and intense desire for success this time.:icecream:
- Already have appreared for CAT and other exams so i know what it takes to go thorugh the final frontier.
- I want to throw out a grunt like Rafel Nadal and push myself and other team members beyond the limit for success.
- Most important of all, with every mock that i appear, i am learning to improve myself and diligently working to do that, Everyday.
With this i nominate myself for the team UDT 2008 and seek an opporunity to prove whatever i have said.
