Hi Guys ,

There is good news for me .. got into NUS , Singapore !!!!

Some tips that I thought might help others

This is how u might utilize the time especially if you r a s/w guy

---Lunches -- Try to go outside , revise something like Word Power , formulas etc
---If u got internet , browse info sites like pagalguy and others <-- this particularly
helps during the interview where the extra gyan gives u an edge .
---I Understood u cannot possibly bring book and study !!! but u can bring part possibly
bering Newspaper , magazine etc , put it in ur table , and browse it whenever ur free
----If possible , avoid the loose talk and chit chat in coffee time Take a walk instead
making crucial decisions such as when to fill form etc
----U can also use ur free time to fill up online application and stuff


Thats it from my exp !!! .Hope that helps atleast one of u guys !!!
Keep adding post to this thread and make it popular in pagalguy !!!

Well I am doing my graduation in Economics ...

1. During first 2 years .... I was working with a Textile company which was more than 20 km away from my home .... and 12 hrs/day was minimum. I used to sleep for not more than 4 hrs.
2. Then I switched to a telecom company thinking that there I will have 8 hr shedule (and I was despo for an 8 hr job at that time because I was tired of sleeping for just 4 hr/day for 2 years .... and it was my final year + CAT .... so I thought that a sound sleep of 6 hr/day was must ) .... but ohh my destiny .... company changed it's organisation structure and converted my team into a cross functional-multy tasking team .... we were put at the front end of the entire back end verticle .... which means .... we work for 24 hr-365 days !!! I worked in that situation also and kept on sleeping for 3-4 hr/day for one more year. Result : Failed in a sem and clearing the CAT looked impossible.
So I left the job finally and so that I can focus on the final year exams and clear the CAT.
So it's highly demanding job to continue ur studies along with ur job.
