U r being totally unfair n just misusing your power...It seems so way if one is worried for results and just saying that result might be out in one day or two...U r most inactive in thread n when ppl were putting links for copyright material then where were U? Donot miss use ur power...Otherwise..it will be good that no one put any thing on thread...as thread belongs to you

We see this every year People blaming mods, demanding explanations and trying to come up with arguments of two wrongs making a right without understanding the long term repercussions of running this forum.

For others who are accusing us of misusing our power, please note that enough number of warnings, guidelines, announcements have been issued publicly earlier. If we had to misuse our power, we would have done it long back without trying to make you understand the whys and whats of it.

I have requested time and again, if you see anyone breaking the rules of pagalguy, please use "Report Bad Post" option and we will take care of it.

Closing this thread since it is not serving any purpose.

I stand corrected on that Mayur. I will edit my post. But this is exact wordplay which is leading to such spamming, speculation here on XAT thread. Actually, across all the results thread. B Schools show lack of clarity in timing/dates and here we mods/admins have a tough time managing these threads.

We already have explained number of times, why speculating about results until any official notification is out is not correct.
People come here and post - "I am expecting result very soon" ( moreover with no liability. As per few users, results should have been out yesterday! Where are they now?) and this kind of speculation just leads to thousands of people not working since last 2 days, wasting their time in offices/home and not upto anything good. It also results in lot of anxiety and of course spam.
Moreover, it does not take much time in todays age of facebook/twitter/orkut/gtalk to spread a rumor. Jyoti Basu died few times in last month. But we would not like pagalguy to become a hot bed of breeding rumors or speculations.

If people wouldnt have speculated about results coming, do you think we would have seen such kind of spam in last 2 days?

If people still keep doing it, they will get a ban. Nothing unfair in it. This place has some rules which have been made after lot of deliberation, thought and experience and we would like to follow them.

@Others - I will request everyone to use "Report Bad Post" button if you see anyone speculating, spreading rumors and help us in trying to make this a saner place.

Rohit.
Whatever you have told is absolutely true..I can see myself doing the same thing.. sitting before the comp and doing nothing
But all said and done the ban was a bit too harsh. You would do well to reconsider the bans..
Cheers

Hey Rohit,

Firstly I think the XLRI website say's that results would be out by 31st Jan, not ON 31st Jan, if I am not wrong.
Neways just wanted to point out this.

Don't you think it's unfair to ban people for just mentioning that THEY expect the results to be coming pretty soon?

Banned for a week for spamming.



Banned Permanently for speculating about result timing.

Go here if you have too much free time - Teach For India

Inspite of trying our best to make you understand to not speculate about results, various warnings, people have not stopped spamming. Highly disappointed.

@mangesh - The XLRI website says the results will be out on 31st Jan. Until any other official statement is issued, we will believe in that.
Rohit

Strangely those banned were those who just referred to the results, people have been doing much worse than that.

One was asking for CL pdf sloution.

Can any one provide the link to detailed solutions to CL.
it seems they have changed the soln for india-australia cricket match question in QA

i know that its no use checking now,as results can be out any time now

but need some thing to do to kill time

The other was actually saying that the results are not out yet, a sincere answer to some confused scared soul who couldnt understand why people were talking of marks. He was actually helping hanisha1988!

stilhope Says

No, the results arn't out yet...!!! dont worry about them, its just a bunch of guys who have lots of free time and nothin better to do...!!!

Anchun was actually doing exactly what you are doing, telling people speculation makes no sense. He unlike stillhope didnt even say that the results would be out any moment.

I am sorry to say this and I know I would be permanently banned for it but I have to atleast for these two scapegoats. Your behavior seems to show your frustration and a big bad hurt ego! You tried telling us that the results would be out only on 31 and no one here seems to trust that. Its your ego dude get over it. As for the results they will sure come out before 31

And thanks for the ban :D

I know this post is rude and I also agree that we shouldnt be speculating, but the manner in which you have tried to take things into your control isnt something I can digest. This was the only way of putting my point across, it had to be harsh, had to be strong coz you are an admin and I am a lesser soul.

Bye guys.

Cheers,
Beacon!

PUYS,

Please keep the speculation to urslef. Rohit has rightly pointed out that , this created unnecessary tension among the Janta , which is not warranted for. You guys need to keep ur cool now , rather than get hyper !!

Neways Stop Speculating for now !!! and keep waiting !!

ALL THE BEST!

I suppose that does not mean other courses in the respective college are not good coz I am looking for finance and finance alone and hope taking finance in any of these colleges should be fine.

As with GLIM, I will dig deeper and see howz it.

GLIM is pretty good, as for one year course most good foreign universities and ISB Hyderabad have one year courses only.

GLIM is based on the ISB model and is being touted as the next big thing and I feel that with 4 years of experience a 1 year course better suits you.

mangesh zope Says

netime means when would the result be out???

my dear friend,
no one here knows when will be the results out,till they are out

any time before 31st jan...

seeing the track record of XAT results of earlier years,puys here expect them to be out at any time from now

netime means when would the result be out???

yaar yeh thoda zyada hi ho gaya lagta hai

Was hoping for smthng like 99.5+

And wat's ur take on calls

bhai kya khaata hai...(no offence ment).. PAIDA HOTE HI MAMI NE KAHA THA KE XLRI JANA HAI... hehehe.. kidding.. nice scores bro..

d_1 Says

No dude.According to my personal opinion nothing can be assumed unless specified in d question.I mean if they had specifically given that almost 10 crores = 10 crores then i guess u might have been right.That is the reason they gave the loss as 3000 crore for jet airways.

hmmm.....trying to think frm the question setter's perspective.....y did he categorically mentioned the year 2008 in the question (though passage already mentions 2008 in the first line).....coz paper setter wanted to give hint that we think abt the leap yr thing.......just trying to console myself ........even if this gets correct I will score 32.8......so hardly ne chance

hey hey guys...

lets stop discussing.... let the result come out... HOPE ALL OF US GET OUR DESIRED %ILES...its no use discussing.... last year too many people who expected low got higher and many who expected high got a little lower... results should be round the corner looking at the last 2 years experiences..

exaaactlyyy.... u cant assume unless its explicitly given.....

@d1: how does it matter if u get 99.5 or 99.95..... u'll get all the calls u applied for with those scores pal...

rahul2k10 Says

in the passage Jet's loss is given as " loss of around Rs 3,000 crore"...but in the question it is given as "Jet Airlines lost Rs 3,000 crore"....if around 3000 can be treated as 3000...I think almost 10 crore should also mean 10 crore.......n i thought all years (other than centenary years) divisible by 4 are leap years....so what is the doubt abt 2008 as being leap year

And wat's ur take on calls

Wat is ur guys take on the flight loss question in AR. Only Time gives a) cannot be determined as an option , rest all are either giving 3350 or 3340 as the answer.I personally feel that it should be cannot be determined coz we are given the losses as almost and asked for a definitive value.Moreover would u take 2008 as a leap year or not ?

cheers,

SO what is the answer for second question ?


Is that you are not supposed to hurt other's property or its not legal to do so
?


I 've chosen it is not a legal action ( personally I felt " not supposed to damage others property is also covered in "what is legal " )

I have marked the legal option too.
But reading the solution given in the book I feel it must be choice B. They have no justification for damaging other people's property
Its a close call.

That doc question takes my LR score to 18.25 any guesses on the percentile.My overall breakup is the following :-

QA:- 10.75 (Assuming the answer of DS question as A)
VA :- 10.75 ( According to CL and testfunda)
LR :- 18.25
OA :- 39.75

cheers,

There are too many uncertain values in that Q.("industry loss likely to be", "daily loss almost 10 cr per day")
It therefore cannot be determined with any certainity let alone make a choice between 3340 & 3350 cr where there is only a 10 cr difference.....
Ans: A

Ok posting this for the benefit of people ..Copied verbatim from 101 ethical dilemmas written by Martin Cohen.

Qn 1) the rare disease:

Solution as per book

Surprisingly perhaps, Dr Purplepatch is asking Mrs Blank to undertake an operation she might really not need. In fact, the odds are better than they seem. When a disease is very rare, like this, a test that is only 95 per cent accurate will still throw up a lot of erroneous results: 4,999 for every correct one.
So Mrs Blank may well do better to take her chances . . .

Qn 2) the ecologists burning down the houses:

Solution:

Deep Greens imagine that by making a duty to the environment somehow separate from human interests, they adopt a more radical approach (hence the name of the movement) and take a step forward in understanding. But put that way, it becomes clear that what has become known as ecocentrism, is actually a step back, because by again separating the interests of the environment from the interests of homo sapiens, the ecocentrists continue to promote the fallacy of Descartes and reinvent human beings as fundamentally different and separate from the natural world.
And the moral is . . . Yes, direct action is justified to protect the environment, but you must still avoid hurting other members of the biotic community.

SO what is the answer for second question ?

But it's clearly stated that even the doc is not sure if the lady has the disease. So diagnosis should be carried out instead of carrying on with exp drugs wasting money and time. Still, can you postthe link for tht book in pdf format?

Instead defending your answer ,

try pointing out one single flaw in the answer E . That way you will understand why E is rite.

My take ,

Listen ,

1) if a re-diagnosis is done, what if it gives different result ?. Now you have one negative and one possitive result ( equal weights ) . SO you need to carry on one more diagnosis . Is this a sensible option ?

2) Even after so many diagnosis , you will anyway suggest her experimental drugs . because it is worth the try .

3) No other answer is a step forward .


This is my stand . If you still think your answer is rite invalidate my arguments .

I had a look at the Great Lakes but theirs' is a one year program and they have 4-6 subjects for every 2 months. It seems like they are condensing 2yr course into one yr. This might be little hectic and may not give time for other activities.

So apart for GLIM, there is nothing more to apply for? What about XISS?

i think u have not gone thru the book i mentioned in my previous post the ans for the first ques is surely E

There is a book named 101 ethical dilemmas go thru dilemma 28 and 84 of that book these are 2 questions of DM part

harshilpuy Says

It's very clear. For 1st que, to perform another diagnosis and for the 2nd one not performed in a legal way.

i think u have not gone thru the book i mentioned in my previous post the ans for the first ques is surely E

mithu1111111 Says

no dude for the second question the correct ans is the legal option the moral of the story clearly says that direct action is justified but it should be done properly

It's very clear. For 1st que, to perform another diagnosis and for the 2nd one not performed in a legal way.
