Nomination for KDT

Hiii...Here I put my nomination for a place in the KDT'09 Team...

Introducing Myself,

Name - Gaurav Halder.
Occupation - None as of now....(DOJ nahi aya)
Passions - Football,Books and CAT..

Last year i was associated with the Kolkata Dream Team and it was great pleasure learning from some great minds and great human beings as well..My scores were going nowhere last season and once even i had decided to burn my books for CAT..Then it was the KDT puys,Rik da and my Mentor Arun da who instilled the confidence in me that i could make it..the result -

CAT'08 - 97.43 %tile (QA - 60 %tile, DI - 94 %tile, VA/RC - 99 %tile)

QA was one of my strength sections,after cat went down in tears but promised to myself i would come back strong and hard.This year its time to give back to the community which has given so much to me and shaped me as a new human being altogether..

Nomination for KDT
hi...so finally KDT has started and here comes the nomination from my side

My name is Poonam Binaykiya and i have done my class-10 as well as class-12 from commerce background...and completed my Bachelor of Business Administration with major in finance...apart frm this have been a part of lots of competitions as well as a part of teh audition of one of the national show...Did projects in HLL,LICMF,JET AIRWAYS as part of my BBA program. I have enjoyed a lot during my college life...and am also proud to say tat i used to b known among top 5 students during 1st year but couldnt maintain till the end...watsoeva....I am also a member of World IQ society...


now in terms of cat, i am a retaker....i have appeared last to last year...but much to appall...it wasnt tat gud...though i took the break of one year...because meanwhile i was doing my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER course(still 1 module to go) and also done few of the NCFM modules.... in order to gain soem experience,right now i am working in a construction firm as a project manager...

even my goal is very clear after MBA...i would like to open a financial planner firm...which i think in India there is only 1...(so lemme enter the market and break the monopoly)

and lemme edit one thing more abt myself tat i am passionate abt sudoku like nething....and tats why may b my DI section goes more better than VA as well as QA..


for this session,till now i have jst appeared for 2 mocks...none of them sound that gud...since i ended up with(7*percentile)....still i know i can do justice with myself as well as the mocks too....by not letting myself down...and to end up with an IIM...and also in order to make my profile suitable for KDT

NAME :joydeep sarkar
xth:85 %
xiith-79%
b.tech-8.42(cgpa)(i was the topper till second year..marks dropped after getting job)
passions:sketching,sudoku,literary writing(blogging,reviews)

i am a b.tech passout from a private engineering college.i had taken CAT last year..did considerably well as i had prepared for only a couple of months
97.89%le(oa) [ 99.12%le (VA) my strongest section ,DI (87.89%le)..could have done much better..QA(74%le) this section is my weakest and did cost me big time)..applied for imtg..but a horrible pi left me heartbroken...retaking CAT again with renewed zeal and vigour)..mocks may not tell the complete story but i am still improving,,i hope i will be more consistent...
well. i will join INFOSYS in dec..so that takes off a lot of pressure off my back..just hoping that i will be second time lucky..as my motivating slogan goes

"IIM"POSSIBLE IS NOTHING

p.s:last time i had enrolled for the AIMCATS.i had not crossed 90 for the first 8 mocks i took.so i would like to advise all the puys not to take mocks very seriously..i mean dont get discouraged if u have a bad day at office..keep trying various strategies and zero onto one of them in the last few mocks...the performance on the D Day matters..so i think we should peak at the right time..

i have enrolled only for the CL procs and totalgadha CBT club..

Well..I strongly believe that..like the year before..this time too Kolkata has a strong potential to make it large..And nothing like summing up all the available potential to make a strong unit..like the KDT..which will strive its way forward to the premier institutes...
Speaking about myself..I have taken CAT last time without much of preparations..and expectedly(with that level of no-preps)landed up with a mere 87%le..But I did not lose hope..completed my graduation ...and now am determined to get into C..my dream institute..my performance has not been a consistent one no doubt(with more downs than ups)..but as it is said.."Failure is the pillar of success"..am building up my pillars..to live my dreams..and with that determination and confidence I want to be a part of the team and along with all my fellow puys...make KDT proud of us..

[pk_gt1]

hi all,
things are taking place in pg at a war footing
well here i'm to nominate myself and the sole reason why i did'nt want to be part of udt'09 was this thread only

MY PROFILE:-

NAME-Abhishek Guha Thakurta
GRADUATION-B.COM(ACC & FIN), PURSUING CHARTERED ACCOUNTANCY (PE-II)

EXTRA CURRICS- TRAINED SWIMMER , PLAYING GRAND ACOUSTIC PIANO FOR THE PAST 14 YRS FROM JOHN W SCHAUM SCHOOL OF MUSIC ,QUIZ ENTHUSIAST, was a member of little india performing arts society--where i contributed the background music score of a documentary

got an all india rank of 7 in chartered accountancy-(pe 1 -known as cpt) , had a district record in swimming (freestyle),and few other prizes

apart from that i have a high octane interest in military and defence strategy...contributed posts in bharat rakshak ,india defence, loves to watch documentaries


well moving to a more serious note on my achivemnts from cat -- i have committed myself entirely to this for this year...

all round the way i had remained quite a perrenial underachiever when it came to my acads--but bygones are bygones and i want to start everything on a fresh note

and this year i have only one aim---to crack the cat--with full gutso ,

all of u might have heard the jargon --actions speak better thn the words..so i don't want to excruciate you puys towads my relative insanity -- in why i want to do it

the thing is quite simple and loud -- either i get rejected or accepted my determination will remain strong as ever in achieving my goal

TIME:
AIM 20-94.6

IMS:
SIM 1 -99.15
CL:
PROC 3-89.22
PROC 5-98.8
UNPROC-1 84.72
UNPROC-2 77.54 ( LEFT MIDWAY)

MINDINSIGHT
MICAT 1- 84.37
MICAT 5-98.XX

midway i gave few more exams which i have not considered as in most of them i faced disgusting internet connectivity or login problems AND IN SOME OF THEM I GAVE THT IN HOME AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF TESTING WINDOW

Apart from this,I was a professional Chess player with best ever ELO rating of 2310 in 2006 . I am still associated with PDCA(Pune district Chess Association). I was a gold medalist in All India inter-Engg Chess Tournament held at IT BHU Varanasi in 2006.I have Represented myself as the Captain of my university chess team for three consecutive years in All India inter University Chess Tournament.

Mock Scores 09 -
The link is there with my Signature...My percentile as of now is in the Range between 92 to 98 with one or two Exception.Not yet in 99 range as I am trying with variuos strategy.....Will be in 99 Range within next 5 Mocks..Still lots of improvement is needed in VA.....


My Unfinished Journey to CAT -

CAT 2007 - My first official attempt to CAT with 0% Preparation and 100 percent confidence. Wanted to crack this Billi in my first attempt.
Nov 18th 07 - Aaj to Phod ke aana hai, attempted around 60 odd out of 75 questions in total and after exam.I was confident also, I think I have done it.......
January Second Week 08 - QA = 2 marks...LDI = 14 Marks , VA = -4 OA = 12.... Some 30 Odd percentile tha..Saade Sapne kahi kho gaye, haye hum kiya se kiya ho gaye...........................Didnt appear in any other exam this season and totally concentrated on my Job, Got an Onsite offer from TCS in April 08 and I rejected the offer not because of CAT 08(After Jan second week in 08 , I never thought that i will appear CAT any more) but coz of very BAD profile offered to me at onsite.......Sometimes around mid June 08, I was literally frustrated in IT industry with no growth, no more onsite due to Global recession.....Finally decided that this is not the place where i want to see myself after 5 years down the lane......Only option left for me was to go for my dream. CAT 08 - I m coming...........

CAT 2008 - My First serious attempt to CAT.......Joined TIME Classroom @ Salt lake.......Started with 50 %ile in AIMCAT and reached 99 %ile by 903(90+ around 7 or 8 times ).......Best AIR was 317....I filled all other exam form(XAT,FMS,IIFT,SNAP,NMAT,JMET) this year........Applied for almost all colleges like MDI,NITIE,IMT,SPJAIN,XL,XIMB..... I was very much confident that i will make it this year...Finally the D day has arrived.
16th Nov 08 -- 9:55 AM - 40 Question in VA(First bad Symptom....) Could not decide the Time management,Started with VA, Spent around 1 hour,attempted 21 Q.., then came to DI - attempted 8 Q.... By this time i already came to know that its all over this year...and then came to QA - attempted 8 Q only....Its all over for me.... By evening, I checked the solution....and Here goes my Score DI- (8C,0W) = 32,QA - (8c, 0w) = 32 and then came to VA/RC...attempted 9 in Rc (8C,1w) and then i tasted the Sweet poison of English grammar......(2C,11W)......EU - (10C,11W) = 29......OA = 93.....Went into a mental trauma after that and spoiled each and every exam that year......Didnt get a single call....

What I learned from this CAT?
Expect the Unexpected.....The X factor were always missing in MOCks....
If you could not perform in CAT that does not mean you cannot crack any other Exam....Same year you can do well in other Exam also.......
Most people fail not because lack of knowledge, but they fail to perform under Pressure.......
Dont Judge yourself with your Mock Score......
Dont ever think that it is the end of life.............

CAT 2008 has changed my life.....It has given me everything. I am now more determined, more foccussed towards my ambition.......... Sooner or later I will be there.........

CAT 2009 - This time m going to my dream B school.................

Why I want to Join KDT -

What is the difference between BLACKI and not to be a BLACKI....The answer is difference of two Question at max on D day.. We all know that the most of the puys here are extremely talented then
why these two question should decide our fate.......These thing can easily be eliminated in a team of like-minded people... We can share our strength and weaknesses to all puys... We can motivate each other to achieve our dream..... We can set example for our Juniors also....
At last I would like to say only one thing, if given chance i will prove my worth for this Team......

We Cheers for KDT.......
and at last Thanks to all Puys for reading this long post............

So another season begins. New dreams, new aspirations and a new journey. I am proud to say that I was a part of KDT 08 and learnt a lot under the tutelage of our Kaptaan (rik) and my team-mates. I still cherish the memories and the learnings of my CAT prep days.

Welcome aboard! Wish you all the luck

Regards,
Rahul

### Nomination for KDT ###

The City of Joy !!! here I come ....

Agreed I am not from Kolkata, but then I am just a few hundred miles away from it

Okie here goes my Intro .

I am Ranjeet Pratap Singh, I have done my 10'th and 12'th from Kendriya Vidyalaya Rae Bareli (Sonia gandhi ka shahar hai yaar) with 82.6 and 81.6 % marks.

I am doing my B.Tech in Computer Science from KIIT University, Bhubaneswar.
Haven't appeared for CAT earlier, but willing to do so, even after getting into WIMWI :P
Seriously guys, I haven't appeared for CAT earlier but I am already in love with it.

My hobbies include, reading, writing, cricket, and playing computer games particularly AOE and how can I forget "Spreading gyan" :P.
I love challenges, and I love conquering them, greater the stake greater is the fun.

Now, hoping to use the last two things at pg. Living upto the challenge of living upto the expectations, and collobaroting with others in order to make the 13 selections into IIMs from this dream team of ours " ThE kolkata dream team".

My mock scores aren't very great, but they are consistent.
and I am willing to maintain this consistency with a little improvement saved for the D-day.
for details about my mock scores plz see my signature.
