today after papers were collected and we came out of our room what we found in the next room was the invigilator asking "" have all of you finished your paper ??""... can you believe it ?? i just couldnt believe my ears and was too stunned to react... at that very moment i decided to talk to the nmims representative of my centre... and guess what ?... there was no one from the institute at our centre...
after going through all this who will have the excitement of calculating scores and pin pointing cut offs...
pathetic institute really...

And about the cheating part..yeah i totally agree.In my centre people used cellphone(with dictionary and calc) without any problem.There was no checking.Candidates opened their question paper 10 mins early.Answers were copied(some guys attempted even 130+ with collaborative efforts).All this in one centre so you can imagine the scenario.And the fact that NMIMS gives high weightage to nmat score anyone who gets a calls but barely clearing cut offs has very very less chance(read "no").I think ranks below 1200 are just...
Anyway good luck guys

why dont you guys write a mail to nmims telling them about the instances. if you know more people from ur centre who can write please tell them to do so. i dont know what can be done this year but atleast they will take care next year or atleast know its happening.

even in snap in mumbai there was cheating at dadar centre and at kendriya vidyalaya during iift papers were given 15-20 mins before time.

just write into them. let them know its happening. its always worth a try. worst comes to worst they wont do anything but will u lose anything by writing to them?


CAT 2008 - 99.68%ile Quant - 95.10, di - 96.42, va -99.49. Calls from L,I,K. missed C by 1 mark in Quant. IIM B only god knows Missed IIM A due to
GMAT 2008 - QA - 49 , VA - 40 Overall 720
I rejected MDI

according to me.. Synonym for Yardstick according to the passage should be criterion

Others, what say??
