Swayambhu, I guess Allan has already answered your query...

Priyanka, calculate your percentage considering all subjects, including your optional elective...if not mentioned otherwise...and for %, DGPA*10 is what most people do...

perthchat....search the previous PG mock threads by the test number...you'll get to know the marks of most people who actually appeared for the test....but 35 attempts is a bit low in a standard paper if u ask me...try attempting more...

Hi I was wondering which coaching institute to join in Kolkata? Time, CL or IMS? Also whether the park street branches are better than the rest?

Yes CL is much sought after training insti in KOL.Yes,some of the Park street branches are better than rest .You can also join aimcat test series as sreedipto pointed out.All the bst

Join byju's classes

if you are looking for classroom....then go for cl park street....with time undergoing a change in franchise..it would be advisable to go for experienced cl.....but do also go for aimcat test series along side......

Hi puys! Can any1 help me out with these questions please??

I have attached the pic.Kindly,explain the solutions(any1).........:)

1st question : total sales in base n = 51*35 = 1785. Its decimal equivalent = 936
So 1*n^3 + 7*n^2+ 8*n +5 = 936..also answer = 5n +1 (since it is the decimal equivalent of 51)
you can rule out option 1 and 4 on the basis of this..for 5n+1 =36,n=7 and for 41,n=8.
now n should be odd to satisfy that 936 wala equation..so answer 7.

2nd question : 40 = 5*8 ; 88 = 8*11 ; 154 = 11*14..59290 = 242*245
the difference between the factors is 3 in all cases..I think you'll be able to do the rest.

Hi puys,

This will be my first attempt at CAT
profile:
10th-83.5%
12th-80%
B.E.(marine)-69%
work exp.- 3years 2 months.

mocks until now have been going decent but looks like have to put a lot more effort in quants absolutely trolling in it.I am enrolled with TIME/CL.

Count me in for the group,also would like to know is there any study group in south kol?also would appreciate if some expert puys evaluate my profile.

P.S. looking forward to PG kolkata meet.

Our topper had scored 9.08, and there were just 3 who had crossed 9.0.
Also One Interesting observation for Final year students...:)...Yes Nishant I'm making a case for myself here....a guy who's poor in acads...

One of my batchmates, with a final CGPA of 8.46 had converted IIM S in his first CAT attempt while in his final yr, but later though his %ile increased, he never got an S call as his 8.46/10 was 79.88% OA. As for JU the CGPA to % conversion is not there till the last sem, and only the final % is mentioned in the Final Grade Sheet, Grad Marks reduce after u passout.

Take my example...8.02/10, but 74.5% OA.
So as per IIMA criteria, in case i would have written 80.2% as many do,
My AR would have been 3*3*3 + 3 =30
But now it is 3*3*2 + 3 = 21 only

BTW...IIMA is meant for the elite class, and quality of workex also matters...

You tore apart CAT in 2011 as far as i know from TF & PG postings of urs with a 99.9+%tile. Which B-School r u joining this year? Plz share ur exp if possible with not so bright mortals lyk us.

Didn't know such a thread existed......will surely contribute wherever possible...... :)


Based on this I can say with decent amount of confidence that its JU-ETCE......if not it has to be IT or CSE......

So true Nishant Da. Am a student of JU as well & know it pretty certainly the scorings of ETCE here. Just to share a fact:

In a sem, i heard 10+ students got 9.5+.......Don't mind but it seems pretty possible only in ETCE (Of JU).....Our topper keeps on reading & reading( lyk a superman) & has a CGPA till date 9.3....(Myself...let me keep it to myself to avoid "Public Embarrassment")...
Anyway, was unaware of this thread.
Nice to join.

Could you suggest CAT coaching centres in Salt lake? How are the faculty there?

How far are they from TCS,salt lake? Class timings and other info.
Thanks.

The roots of x^3 + p(x^2) + qx + r=0 are consecutive positive integers.Which of the following can never be the value of q??

(A) 47
(B) 11
(C) 107
(D) 27

Kidly,help me with the solution of the above mentioned problem.......

as roots are consecutive +ve integers, we can take the roots as (k-1), k and (k+1)
so the general equation will be like (x-k+1)(x-k)(x-k-1) = 0
by simplifying the equation, we will get : x^3 - 3k(x^2) + (3k^2-1)x + k(1-k^2) = 0
now comparing with the original equation, q = 3k^2-1
if k = 2, q = 11
if k = 3, q = 26
if k = 4, q = 47
if k = 5, q = 74
if k = 6, q = 107
so among the given options, 27 is not the value which q can have.

Hi Jayant !

Congrats on the IIM K convert!!:)

TIME's usual database for Mock CAT series is unlikely to take a hit this year because as of now VM is unable to provide the Mock series option . ( VM counsellors say the test series will start in August . This is what some students told me . Please correct me if I am wrong!) So - by default the students continue to flow to TIME!!

Sirjee aap kab se students ki baat maan ne lag gaye??
I dont think the counsellors would have told anything to any students about the mock yet. VM will be able to provide a mock series option and hopefuly we will start the test series from this month only. :)
Mere baat pe toh dbt nahi hoga aapko?? :P
Anyways i do agree that TIME's database wont be hit by much,atleast this year.Once all the confusion gets cleared (reagrding who is student of TIME and who is from VM ),we will get a better idea,which coaching centre has been hit how much

\
Bhai,
There has been a lot of discussion on this issue : CGPA to %age Conversion for WBUT students....but still I see some follow the rule which you have mentioned while some multiply the CGPA by 10.I have also asked fellow puys regarding this,searched on net etc. but still I doubt this rule as there is no concrete proof for the same.
I would like to hear abt. this from a WBUT student who has attended GDPI session & also got admission.

(GPA*10)-.75 its the only one method for wbut student to calculate %. Now its normally calculated on GPA*10. But some co. yet use (GPA*10)-.75.

Do spend time on this page. Plus starting June we will be trying to meet up once a week physically And once at least in a virtual conference .

Sir ,is any pg meeting date fixed (for Kolkata)?

No I would beg to differ from you bro because whenever there is a split of a group into two or for that matter whenever a new child comes out of parent then parent also get to suffer , its a natural phenomenon!

Here in also the TIME has to shift its locations from jodhpur park , saltlake etc to different places like jadavpur etc , so they are also starting afresh from those centers , just what they carry is the tag(TIME) but they don't have old renowned faculties like SAMRAT sir, ANKURAN sir and yes SAJAL MITRA and RAHUL REDDY sir etc(maybe u guys wud hv known them had you associated urself with TIME before the split or april 2012 or so !!) So these peoples have hell lot of contact/database to start their own establishment! And do remember faculty matters in any insti whether b-school or a mere coaching insti!!

Also there will be people who will b confused vch 1 to join between VM(due to faculty bigwigs associated with it) and TIME(due to tag) , so they will land up joining CL or IMS vch gonna have some serious benefit out of it!!

So, Due to all these the AIMCAT base of TIME is bound take a hit this time which ultimately wont give you a fair idea of cmparative performance! And hence CL 's base will surely increase!

Anyway take an informed decision thats all what I can say!!
And oh yeah thanx 4 d wish(fr my convert)!!

P.S:- Just for your info I am a TIME Jodhpur Park guy , was in superlong batch vch started way back in july 2010 and ended with my converts :grin::grin:!!

I concur on this... the original brand TIME has suffered and so has thousands of students associated with TIME ... I am a TIME park street student and i had to get my account verified three times to get my online account activated (They simply said the earlier verifications were not recorded :|) .
The most baffling thing now is that they had provided us with only two centres for the invigilated mocks , that too only in the weekends...

I fail to understand how they will fit so many students into this .... INSANE ...
surely students will miss the mocks ... and the number of students taking the mocks will go down . Eventually you will have lesser students to compare yourself to...:banghead::banghead::banghead:

P.S. :If you really need to find how bad has it hurt them ( TIME ) , please visit the New Alipore center ... Truth will hit you HARD

Seeing all this..was thinking of mentioning my case..though quite different as i belong to WBUT.

Percentage is simply (GPA-0.75)*10
My CGPA-8.74 Hence Percentage 79.99 I dont realise how much would that 0.01% dent my chances


BTW I'm Siddhartha,Jalpaiguri Govt 2009 passout.Seriously looking for a good group to study/discuss problems. Hece Count me in.

The irony of JU's CGPA to % conversion rule is: students have to remain in dark about their % until the final semester's result comes out. And sadly, the % matters everywhere, and cgpa is counted for nothing while applying to B-Schools.

PS: Mine is 79.80% while Cgpa is 8.61..... that's why all these frustrations

Damn Unlucky....

But u can get an A Call, if i can then anyone can, and with ur acads, make sure u convert it......as of now focus on 2k12

PS : The last few posts, seems like a "JU Study group"

do you know how JU converts GPA to equivalent percentage.?.any formula or something.?.:P
same question for @nishant,in case you know.

While calculating percentage, the actual scores are taken.....like they do in board exams......

So a 83 will be taken as 83 and not as 90 though 83 corresponds to 9 points......

Usually, the final percentage is roughly about 6-7% less than your GPA*10......

Hello everyone,
I saw the discussion on this question that I was recently came across, but haven't understood the logic behind the answer.Would be really grateful if somebody provides an explanation to this.
Directions:- Statements 1 and 6 are fixed as first and last sentences of the paragraph. Arrange A,B,C,D in between them in such a way that they make a coherent paragraph.
Question:
1.Experts think that our planning has failed miserably.
A. Thus we have not succeeded in establishing a socialistic pattern of society.
B. A good percentage of our population is still living below the poverty line.
C. Thirty years of planning has failed to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor.
D. The rich have grown richer and the poor poorer.
6. Still we hope for a better planning and a better way of life.

1. Cbda 2. Cbad 3. Bcda 4. Cdba
The answer is (1)

Sentence 1 mentions planning has failed ...same key word in C ..so eliminate option 3 which starts with B ....A is a definite conclusion for those 4 sentences and a link to 6 so it has to come at the end so option 2 is riled out ... question is bd makes more sense or db makes more sense..?D flows into A better.. Hence option 1

I said ETCE because of your GPA......such a GPA is only posssible in ETCE, CSE or IT.....

And I do know that scoring a 9.36 isn't easy......am an alumni of JU-ETCE itself......and I do remember the engg drawing, electrical machines, carpentry and all those stufff which weren't easy to score in......you obviously have put in a lot of effort......if you hadn't (like I didn't), you would have ended up with a lesser GPA (like my 8.5 )......

freakonomist Says

@tanveer sir what is the difference between a conclusion and an inference,deduction and induction? is there any sure shot way to weed out the two from the options.

Deduction = based on thinking not on experience

Induction = based on experience

Conclusion = based on all the data provided by the author

Inference = data + assumption = inference .. ( so it is a type of conclusion in which you make an assumption a jump a leap from the data provided to reach the final lap)

plz provide all available info.

Quality matters
Don't think about any institute Except IIMC. If you are really serious with your mba then don't count those colleges which offer those stupid assurance at the time of admission.
