As has been already mentioned so many times, the paper was on the easier side. I didn't appear for IRMA last year, so I can't compare, but the General Awareness section was pretty tough. They really want to select the right candidates - those who are truly interested in Rural Management.

I had decent attempts in the other sections but I could only answer 3-4 questions in the Awareness part. So I decided to mark a few guesses to give myself at least a chance of clearing the cutoff. I didn't even count the number of attempts in that section. In the others :

VA : 35
LR/DI : 38
QA : 35

I was unable to re-check any answer so have no idea at all about the accuracy. But I was kinda sluggish for a paper where speed matters so much. The new version of CAT has made one less versed in matters of pace.

However, there were these set of questions which I found myself totally unable to answer. If you guys recall, the one where we had to select a "consequence" of a situation... e.g. The majority of the employees of an organization had applied for a casual leave on monday.

Options included (a) the organization should declare a holiday (b) they should request the employees to come (c) they should reject the leave applications (e) none of these etc.

Was anyone able to answer these comfortably?

Also, i thought there were a few occasions where the 5 questions of a set had covered all the 5 options as answers. I mean they formed a 5,3,4,1,2 or a 3,1,5,2,4... different option numbers for different questions within a set. Was wondering if I was getting slightly paranoid, or did others also notice something similar... :iamcool:

Lets see what happens when the results are announced.
Wishing the very best for everyone! Really!

Well, my centre was at Anand itself next to IRMA campus and I must say it was one of the best organised exams I faced with great precision in timings. We had the school bell going off after every half an hour. :smile:

here comes my score:
VA:36(easy)
QA:28(easy)
AR:30(okish)
GK:25(find it of mod level)
OA:119
dont know why ppl find the gk section easy,i found it mod to tough coz it was more of reasoning and conditional based and the best part was the addition of none of these and all of them.just waiting for results.

[srijan_141]

Hey Guys!!...

So finally...we all r here to discuss it again...
IRMA 08...hmm...It was not an easy one!!...Time was less but every question seemed to be solvable but time was a bit less..

VA - 24 ----- Satisfied wid my performance keeping in mind the time taken by me...didnt read the RC at all but felt tht this section was really easy...

QA - 26 ----- This is wht i dnt like & my weakest section!!..
But the diffculty level was not high....it was moderate including those probs which invovled loads of calculations...

AR - 28 ----- An easy section as per my expectations & did decent in it...

GK - 33 ----- My most loved section of all....It was avg becoz i felt tht some of the questions asked wer a bit subjective in nature...


TOTAL ATTEMPTS - 111....

I hope tht i clear the cuttoffs!!.....:innocent::innocent:

Anyways its a part of my past which i cant change....Wht i can do is prep for the bigg CAT for the Next Sunday...

Best of Luck To All...

Being Optimistic of Atleast Getting A Call.....:innocent::innocent:
