do yu knoe that the current batch at B only has 6 people with work ex. of more than 2 yr. what does that say about oldies like us. they main emphasis is obviously on the cat scre and nothing else. the rest counts (obviously) only if u somehow make it through the first round!
what about work ex of 9 to 10 months? does it add any value?

One piece of Advice, dont give too much importance to ur performances in MOCK and SIM CATs, after all they are just Mocks and Sims. Only the REAL thing counts. Remember That.
