hi,
Sort of late to introduce myself. been posting on the forum for a few days now. well, better late than never.

I am Sivaram from chennai. i only WORK in chennai - sorry to all chennaiites - the city has been kind to me - but the water problems and the heat are too much for me to call this city mine!

Anyway, i work with Wipro and have been at it for the past 2.5 years - currently working as a project leader (yeah really!) and as is the wont of this industry slogging day in & day out

went through the grid of CAT preperation with no hopes - what with working 12-15 hours at office what else would happen - but lady luck smiled on me - managed to get calls from C and K. have final calls from IIT-B,SPJIMR and XL - order intended - still confused about where to go - no brainer for most - but SPJIMR is asking for fees almost immediately and thats set me thinking

used to play badminton a long while ago, had played for AP state junior an even longer while ago.

on this forum now after hearing so much about it and found it to be all that and more - well done PG


Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

shata-percentile bhava .. .may u get 100 percentile

shashta-call bhava ... may u get six calls


Hmm...and as far as being "good with woman" goes.. well umm.. have u seen any impressed female writing to show appreciation on the board ? You see, even a God like Rama had to break bows and all to impress Sita.. she wasnt impressed by his being the class-topper or his percentiles in Valmiki's ashram. That's how life is

Aah..and if some lady is indeed impressed.. itna sannaata kyon hai bhai.oops..deviyon ????

Hi all.
I have registered as a member recently. This is a great portal and I am amazed with everything that happens on it-be it the aspirants, their communication and the profound resource base that is being built up.

As advised by the portal in charge I took my time to understand PG and am now putting up my first post.

Yours truly is a government servant (through the civil services exam) with 7yrs of work experience in a realm where the work content and style is quite different from the corporate world. However, the government does sponsor something called a National Mgt Prog in MDI Gurgaon for which one has to write the CAT. However, the IIMs have always attracted me for the simple reason that I have a very modest educational background-BA Pass in History, Sociology 61.1% (10th 65.8 and 12th 71.2). So I am now thinking beyond the NMP at MDI. I feel an educational stint at one of the leading IIMs would surely lead to tremendous intellectual growth and probably bring me more opportunities within the 'system'- I don’t intend to leave the 'system'.

Having cleared the mother of all exams in the country I do feel confident of cracking CAT too. As a systematic attempt at preparation I began with attempting CAT 2003 on the advice of a friend working in the World Bank. I got an overall of 97.69 (VA 99.88, DI-79.02, PS 36.27), having stuck to the time limits in each section. The scores clearly indicate that all I need to do is slog on mathematics. I have enrolled for IMS Correspondence. I would like to know which other institutes provide good material esp. test series and question banks.


I have seen a lot of pros here on PG and may I ask them to assess my educational and service background and advise whether IIMs would see it in a positive light- I can see that most of the chaps here are not beyond 2 yrs work ex and they are all highly qualified-not one BA pass here!


Anyway, that’s about all for now. Keep interacting.

Best Wishes

Saurabh

wel well well,
a civil servant in our midst.we sure r going places. welcome mate. u r welcome to join us. hope we all will benefit from our mutual interaction.
sarkari pratinithi ka hamesha swagat hai (just joking).

about ur background, IMHO, the iim's will not object at all as it will be fresh experience fr them too. BA pass doesn't matter, u cleared civil service which is good enough proof of ur abilities.
enjoyyy,
mux

Hi Muks,
Thanks for the nice words. I know the Sarkari types are a hated lot, esp after the IIM muddle. But I am sure I want top pay all the money the IIMs charge as fee-where else can you get world class edu for 1.75lakhs.
I hope that you are studying hard and wish you all the best.
Cheers
Saurabh
