[Nikolai]

wow, neat placements. Now three little questions.

The guy/girl who got the top offer from JP at 16,
(i) Did he/she take up the offer?
(ii) What profile & which group was this profile for?
(iii) What was his workex profile like?

The answers to these will help us (all) a ton (or maybe a ton and a half).

Thanks and congrats guys! For VITS, maybe I'll see you here at BKC, Mumbai; I'm with il&fs, the next building :razz:
