9. Fortune 500 Top cpmpany - Walmart ( I marked Exxon mobil :( )

11. CRISIL Lowered INdias rating for first time in how nmany years?
12. Who is not a behavioural scientist?
13.Which is not given under wage
14. 2nd highest Contributor to world economy in 2003-05

Have a slight doubt on that Venn diagram question...

Esop- Louis
Crisil- last 5 years
behavioural scientist- adam smith? no idea
Wage not recognised- good wage
2nd Highest contributor 2003-2005- south korea ?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about a continual improvement philosophy. For Kaizen ($K), a fantasy currency invented by Kaizen Games, see Priston Tale.
"Red tag" redirects here. For designation of damaged structures, see Red-tagged structure.
Kaizen (改善, Japanese for "change for the better" or "improvement"; the common English usage is "continual improvement").
In the context of this article, Kaizen refers to a workplace 'quality' strategy and is often associated with the Toyota Production System and related to various quality-control systems, including methods of W. Edwards Deming.
Kaizen aims to eliminate waste (as defined by Joshua Isaac Walters "activities that add cost but do not add value"). It is often the case that this means "to take it apart and put back together in a better way." This is then followed by standardization of this 'better way' with others, through standardized work.[citation needed]

I believe the paper was loaded heavily in favour of guys studying Organizational Behaviour or similar subject. ( Though I had it in my engg taught by XLRI faculty however could not recall a thing.

So people with this knd of course are having the best chance to make it.

Do they also read our SOP's ??????

What are the expected cut offs?? or what were last year ??

TISS isn't meant for engineers ???

TISS isn't meant for engineers ???

Dude Approx 70 % from last 2 Batches are Engg..

Ya paper was easy (it is a comparative term ) , but wat is definitely not so easy is getting call , If getting 60% is the criteria for OPEN category than , I bet you getting 30/50 in Paper -2(HR) is difficult , even if you r 20/20 in Quant/DI/HR DM getting 15 marks to be safe out of 30 GK Q is nt easy .

Few clarifications from my side

1) FDI cap in SINGLE BRAND retail was asked , this is the most imp many of us missed ., to which the answer is 100% (eg. Just take any Western Brand we get in our malls)

2)ILO -UN
3) 2nd Highest contributor to economic growth in year 03-05
ans is South Korea 90 % sure , had read it somewhere (options were China,Japan,India I guess, If the options were these, then definetly South korea)
4) CISCO JV - Wipro ( Networking giant Cisco and Indian IT services major Wipro have cemented their relationship further by forging a new alliance to address the global markets. Both companies expect the new venture to generate revenue of $1 billion in three years. Cisco and Wipro will together build new IT infrastructure service)
5)Not a Behaviourial Scientist - Adam Smith (Got this 1 wrong ,thought it was Adam Stacy), Linkert(which I marked ) is definetly a Behaviourial Scientist

6) Hedging is the term used in -- options were money market ,Stock market ,commodities market ,none of these)

Now Hedging is a strategy designed to minimize exposure to an unwanted business risk, while still allowing the business to profit from an investment activity,different types of hedging -Company Specific Risk, Market Specific Risk etc. The Term Hedging originated wid Stock Market's ,even Before Stock Futures were introduced ... I knw in COmmodities Derivatives also now a days they use Hedge Funds, But if Both are in options then preference must be given to Stock Market's (More clarification : Guy's I work in NCDEX)

For Verbal

This passage was about: ANTHROPOLOGY (study of humanities, it has a deeper meaning)
Law : Anarchy
Skin:Fur

Personally Attempted 100/100, Paper 1 was a easy - whitewash of sorts , got 2 wrong -aminocentitis and Arabian Night's ,hopefully Rest including VA is correct

Paper 2 thanks to GK was moderate ,got 1 wrong in Quant ,forgot to take Sq.root of 8 to get 2sq.root 2 as the ans . instead market none of these (mistake in Quant is unpardonable)
Gt 7 sure shot wrong in GK Already , So 40+ seems difficult , Neways Hoping fr the Best ...... May all Puy's clear cutoff of 60/100 ....ATB to all..........Cheer's

PS : REST ALL GK Q's including CRISIL (5 yrs) so far discussed in forum/ GK repository thread are correct .ALL QA /Verbal Q disscused are also correct
....


" BOTH SUCCESS N FAILURES SHOULD BE EMBRACED AND CELEBRATED UPON !! U CAN LEARN A LOT FROM THEM !! THEY MAKE U MUCH MORE SMARTER , WAT SHOULD BE ABANDONED IS QUITTING :grab:
