[DON@IIM]

Hi ALL,

Welcome to Kolkata Dream Team!!!

Kolkata, the city of joy.....yes our city and we will prove this time that Kolkata has the best brains of India.

We will prove ourselves to be the best...the best of the lot. We will together make into IIMs and record a 100% conversion rate ie, Kolkata drem team will be the one to have all its members into IIMs by end of this season....

So lets start pouring in with all our efforts, let each one put forward his or her own views, own strategies and let be a team in which each one is the inspiration for all others....

And we remeber that: "United we stand, divided we fall".

Kolkata Dream Team will be our pride and we will outsmart all others. That's a challenge and yes...Kolkata is ready for this.

Now, regarding the rules I will be posting in just a few minutes. Kindly start your nominations once the rules are posted.

Cheers.....................

[DON@IIM]

Hi All,

Let's put forward the rules.

First and foremost:
How wil the teams be constituted ?

Every team will have 11 + 2 players, 1 coach and 1 manager. There is no limit to number of supporters though.
Every team needs to have minimum of 6 members from the same city ie, Kolkata Dream team must have 6 members from Kolkata. Other 7 members should preferably be from nearby locations.

Ok, now let's have a quick look to the mentors of Regional Dream Teams.

Mentors:

Bangalore: Prem_Ravi
Chennai: Nagafrench25
Mumbai: Dr.Shashank
NCR: Adityacool
Hyderabad: Krishvik
Pune: Greenspan
Kolkata: DonIIM

I am really honoured to get such a role. Hope to play a motivating role.

Every one has to post the following mandatorily:

1> A brief intro about himself.
2> Mock Scores this season
3> Previous attempts...(if any)

And another thing: Please post in a single thread. You can obviously edit the post as many times required. 1 post per person actually helps in filtering and getting a clear view about the members.


Last date for the Nominations : 20th September, 2009


The name of the team is something which is open ie, instead of Kolkata Dream Team it can be any other name which is exciting, enthusiastic and positive. So in your post you can also suggest a name for the team. The name will be finally decided after the team is declared.

So come up with your posts.

Cheers.........................

Nomination for KDT
Ahh!! KDT legacy is back Here I nominate myself!!

Name: Dipanjan
X:85%
XII:80%[WB board]
CGPA:7.90

I am from a small village..Bengali medium..Wanted to become a doctor..My WB rank on Medical entrance was 1000+..So never got the seat to pursue MBBS in WB..I loved biology and chemistry(not maths)..So got a rank of 3000+ in WBJEE(engg)..Never seat for any other exams..[even at my locality no one knew what is AIEEE]..As I had one pressure of my little sister and brother(twin) I had to go for B.Tech(from a private engg college in WB)..But felt something lagging..Never liked engg studies but I knew I had to manage one job..CTS was the first company visited in our campus cracked it and never looked for further companies, as I never like engg studies my score fell from 8.5 CGPA to 7.5 CGPA and reamined there for the other 3 semesters..By the end of the 3rd year I felt if I had taken a chance of getting into IITs..From here I developed my zeal to get into only IIMs and no where else..No compromise this time around..
Previous year I had only taken AIMCATs..Had to work on Quant throughout the year so VA was there where it was..VA was the nemesis..Being a vernacular medium student I was very weak in VA..I felt it hard to write a sentence without any errors..TIME AIMCAT scores were hovering around 60s..(25-96%tile)..And in the final day I scored 98.xx%tile in QA and 96.xx%tile in DI but 54%tile in VA..
This time around my score is improving so far as VA is concerned and DI is pathetic,though all the time DI was that very day game for me..

My score is here..

1020--------------------------93.23------------------VA

Nomination for KDT

At last the KDT arrives!!

Last time I missed it, this time I'll try my best to get into it.


Here's a quick little intro.

Name : Rito
Occupation : Software professional ( work-ex of 2+ years)
Academics : 91 % in X, 85 % in XII, 7.96 CGPA ( B.Tech in CSE)

Enjoyed my college life to the fullest, made some great friends there, and did everything apart from writing programs and algorithms
Got placed through campus, thought life was a dream, and was pretty much satisfied with myself.
A small group of people in our college started preparing for CAT when we were in 3rd year. We ( me and my gang) literally ridiculed them. "Look at those bookworms" we used to say.

Fast forward 1 year, I was already sick and tired of the industry. Life became a drag, working for 10-12 hrs per day, returning home at 12 became my regular routine. At that juncture, I suddenly decided to write CAT. Started preparing....but couldn't prepare that much.....and looking back now I admit that I wasn't serious enough. Mock scores fluctuated from 88-96.....VA was the only section I regularly cleared the cut-off.

Result : CAT 2008 : 93.92

2009 : This year though, I started relatively early. I knew I had to work a lot lot harder to push that percentile from 94 to 99+. There's no point writing the CAT if you don't aim for the IIMs( personal opinion).
Started to follow PG religiously ...specially the Official quant thread and Numbers systems thread. Tried to contribute whenver I had an opportunity. Met some great minds and friends over here. I just love PG nowadays.

Regarding mock scores, decent till this point, though can be much much better. QA, VA are my strength, DI is my nemesis( I think almost everybody knows that now lol)

mocks till now :

AIMCAT

SIMCAT

1____________99.31___________NA
2____________96.53___________NA

Why KDT :

I think a team of like-minded people always fare better than an individual person. Success and despair should be shared. I have already met some nice people in kolkata, looking forward to befriend even more. I am ready to help any puy if he/she needs anything.Totally a team player, the only positive thing I have learned from this industry I think.

So here ends my post. Even if I am not selected, I'll follow this thread with avid interest. Let's make KDT the best team this year.

Cheers!!!
