Re: SNAP 2008 Score card Discrepancy-put your actual scores here - 12-01-2009, 01:25 PM

hello puys,
I logged just now after the weekend at pg and what I was thinking to be a personal discrepancy in marks of SNAP seems to be a big enough thing for it to be present in a thread of its own.
Hopefully some concrete steps are taken which duly awards us our deserved marks.
My marks: 67.75
Expected Score: 75 (minimum)

PS: I haven't applied to any of the symbi instis nor do i plan to But there are plenty of people out here who are suffering. Let's hope something positive works out. And this kind of a thing is not going to do any good to the already depreciating Symbiosis reputation.

Re: SNAP 2008 Score card Discrepancy-put your actual scores here - 12-01-2009, 01:47 PM

Just couldnt resist giving my two cents opinion on this :
1.We all know symbi is a big money making scheme under the guise of providing good quality education.i give CAT and i become eligible for all IIMs for admission. here I have to spend a minimum of more than 2000 which is completely usurious.
2.One reason of lowering scores would be to force applicants to fil in forms of various low class symbi insitiutes like SIMC etc etc. I say low class in relation to SIBM SCMHRD.
3.Most of us now believe that this thing was going on for many years and symbi made a mistake of giving back the question paper and hence this discrepancies came out (reminds me of satyam fiasco). If all those who knew it why give SNAP??? Why go to an insititute with suspected ethical values? This thing will die down if symbi says "fine we will take the answer key of some classes (most of classes had predicted higher scores for appllicants).And the same peitioners will pack their bags go to symbi and sing paens about the insti on "life@sibm,life@scmhrd etc etc"
4.Why only symbi? Petition against IIMA:suddenly more weightage to 10th and 12th marks. IIMB was dragged by an applicant to the RTI for revealing their admission process.No one does it on their own.
5. GO to the SPJIMR thread.Applicants are questioning the ir process. But will be more than eager to join SPJIMR.
6.I was an active participant on the IIFt thread.Same old saga"mismanagment of test, no clarity on the cut offs etc etc.Everybody is now busy preparing for GD/PI.
7.This morning I read on the IRMA thread that IRMA is calling people who have not cleard sectional cut offs but have scored more in GK (cannot verify it as its yet not mentioned on the website).

Would like to conclude with a reference to Krishna Paleppu (the guy who was an independent director on satyam board and is prof at Harvard) to drive home the systemic crisis in all areas of business.
Paleppu was probably a key figure in the satyam fiasco labelled India's Enron. This is what his primary interest of teaching is at Harvard.
In the area of corporate governance, Professor Palepu's work focuses on how to make corporate boards more effective, and on improving corporate disclosure. Professor Palepu teaches these topics in several HBS executive education programs aimed at members of corporate boards: "Making Corporate Boards More Effective," "Audit Committees in a New Era of Governance," and "Compensation Committees: New Challenges, New Solutions." He also co-led Harvard Business School's Corporate Governance, Leadership, and Values initiative, launched in response to the recent wave of corporate scandals and governance failures.

:new_scatter:GREAT work man:new_scatter:
i totally agree with u , why only symbiosis.
there r lots of institutes in india who r doing the same for so many years.
even in cat there r so many institutes who say , """"'' THE LAST DATE TO APPLY TO THEIR B-SCHOOL IS ONE OR TWO DAYS BEFORE CAT"""""'''
after cat they say """"" THE DATE HAS BEEN EXTENDED for filling the form""""".
can some one explain this ......... ans is no..........
they give unfair chances to those candidates who fill their application after cat exam.
it is not symbi , it is also done by so may elite cat institutes.( i don't think so , i need to name them ,,, you know it who they are)
THEIR CRITERIA IS NOT CLEAR . THEY ARE MONEY-MAKING INSTITUTES....
SO guys it would be better to fight not against only symbiosis but against so many b-schools who r doing the same( behind our back)....

Agree. Perfectly dished out. It is all business for them. Though I don't blame IIFT and CAT (my score was bang in IIFT wat i expected...a meagre 16.25...while CAT was in for some surprises.)

JMET rejection was also justified.

BUT this snap thing...m never gonna f**k my hard earned bucks for this exam ever. Will happily go boozing with the same money instead....but not this exam..

i wasnt expecting much but it was still aroung 50 - 55. my SNAP score turned out to be only 33 which has been the greatest blow to me.
funny part is that in english i've scored only 9 whereas in CAT eng itself i had a score of 86%ile.

This type of discrepancy is there for years.These colleges are here only to suck money out of poor graduates and then with more money give backdoor entry to Rich Dad's sons to study.

Last year i had appeared for SNAP and i was expecting 95+ and i ended up getting 78 and moreover as they didnt give the question paper last yr everyone thought that they might have done some mistakes.But this time the big question posed by the Directors of SIU() that why did they gave us the question paper.

This year i was expecting 80+ and as the question paper was given i was sure about it.But what i got was the same old tradition of SIU followed---only 60 to my name.
Expected Score(The Real Score for me) | Fraud SIU's score
LR-- 32 | 28
MAths-- 18.75 | 18.75 :
GK --- 14 | 8.75
English-- 18.5 | 4.5:snipersm:


This was expected ...no big thing for Symbi.....again some Rich Man's Son will get thru and end up in that college.This was my last try and i am not going to appear again and donate my hard earned money to these frauds.

Re: SNAP 2008 Score card Discrepancy-put your actual scores here - 12-01-2009, 02:52 PM

hit symbi where it hurts the most.
I always do this. If some restaurant gives me pathetic service or if i buy some stuff which is bad I go and create a an argument in the shop in front of 10 customers.Believe me your problem is resolved asap.
So there are three approaches.
1.Do not turn up for the GD/PIs and so the quality of students who finally end up in symbi suffers (based on the premise that most guys scoring above 70 will have done well in other entracne exams.) OR go to their gd/pi and give the panel a lecture on ethics and subject them to a stress interview.THIS IS I KNOW A QUIXOTIC APPROACH.
THE BEST WAY IS
Most of puys will in the future end up in the corporate world in reponsible position and indeed be responsible for hiring. BLACKLIST SYMBI.Symbi may not listen to applicants (which we all r right now)but most of us will for sure land up in senior corporate positions. AS a part of CSR activity, put pressure on symbi to be transparent.Symbi cannot ignore recruiters. This is a very long term thing but then ROme was nt built in one day.
Patience is the key...and it will work.the second approach will be more selfless and our way of cleaning the system
cheers

Great! But i wonder howmany ppl won't go for their selection process if they are short-listed.. (No ofence.. this includes me).. after all we need quick bucks and i am not sure symbi is a good foundation .
cheers and BOL..
