Puys i am an IT guy. I waana do a job which is non IT related basically just to be away from IT for many reasons.

CAT 2009-88
CAT 2010 - 85 , XAT 2010- 93

Am already having 3 years in IT. i want to do a job such that i have enough time for my own to prepare well for CAT 2011.
Please if anyone can suggest any job that can aid me in my endeavours i would be obliged.
Help!

I had pretty much the same score pattern as you and needed more time. If you are in a coding job I suggest you try to change ur project to Testing. It is much less stresfull, especially when you come from a coding background and much more analytical if you put your mind to it. And mostly you will be busy only in the end time of the project as usually the dev team takes more time than allocated . Also as the IT market is very gud now, you may be able to find an opportunity.
Leaving IT may not be such a good option unless you can give a satisfying reason as to why this shift takes you a step closer to ur MBA goals. And IT ka biggest advantag ye hai ki you have acces to a lot of online resources for prep, whic hmay not be the case elsewhere

This is probably my last post on this thread. With a WL 205, only a miracle can get me in. Though umeed kafi hadd tak khatam ho chuki hai par puri tarah se tooti nahi hai. Kahte hain na You have not lost the game until the final whistle.

It is posts like these that make us happy n sad at the same time. Happy to see that we were able to make a diff in somewhere.. Sad coz we ve been thru this phase of being up against the wall and seemingly nowhere to go and kinda hurts to see someone there...
But let me tell u one thing my fren..Life's like a game of Super Mario...it is not designed to make you fail....even in the most difficult of stages there is an escape route for the next stage...you have to look for it.
"You may be unsuccessful in many of your attempts, but you only fail when you stop trying."

PM me ur details...work ex.. prev years scores..age...future plans..y is this ur last attempt @ MBA etc
n lets try to find the escape sequence for you...

Seniors, please reply...Please mention if this has already been discussed in previous posts.

yes this has already been discussed in the forum quite many times..You can search any seniors' posts on this thread and get the info.

PS-prob searching my posts would be easier as the more regular puys like Jatin, Varun Ruchir have a lot of posts...

Was just goin thru the thread on new subjects in various "preferred B Schools"
A look at MBA curriculum updates in private b-schools this year | PaGaLGuY.com - India's biggest website for MBA in India, International MBA, CAT, XAT, SNAP, MAT

And I realised a lot of things which the schools in GIM s league and even those above have started now were already in place @ GIM-
1. Most striking- The stress on Ethics. We ve always gad a very good ethics course with some great cases. I know people really take it to be a light n boring subject but in today's world of corporate scams colleges have now realized its importance.
2. Simulation games made compulsary--We always had Brandmaps and Capstone as compulsary. These are the 2 most famous Management games and if played well teach you a lot about strategy.
3. Innovative courses- Lyrics and management, Stress Management and even the regualr HR courses are taught with a lot of out of class exercises and non textual assignments have been the norm here.
4. Out of class activities- Jo kuch baki coll authorities ab kar rhai hain utna to humare student clubs hi karte hain.. Treasure hunt with no aid in Panjim by Kshitiz, Blood Donation camp by HRiday, Industry interactions byI3 etc.

Ok now my point after all this is not to belittle other colleges, I m sure they are doing somethings which we can emulate. But I just want to highlight that the perception attached to GIM being a "bahana" to spend 2 yrs in Goa is just wrong. Our college doesn't figure in the publicity list. I hope with the collective effort of both the batches in the new campus we can put GIM on a better public pedestal.

@Varun:
We all appreciate the seniors efforts to help us with the confirmations. But here the thing is that after payment of a huge sum(in my case 1,22,000/-), one can atleast expect a formal written reciept / confirmation from GIM. Mere confirmations on the phone arent concrete.
My name appears in the excel sheet floated by Jatin n team but is it a official confirmation on which we can take a decision? I need to withdraw admission from another B-School where I have paid fees and somehow my mind tells me to wait for an official confirmation from GIM (to be safe) before doing that. Because of this I'm making a serious aspirant wait to take up my seat there which is causing tension / trauma / uncertainties in their lives for no fault of theirs.
Why cant we all aspirants write to the senior bosses at GIM making them understand the ground reality of the admissions process in their college? What say guys?

The confirmations we got in the excel are from the office only and totally reliable. Its been said a 100 times n more that there are issues with the admin process which surfaced this time and have been communicated to the office..we can understand ur dilemma..But saying it again will not change anything..Confirmation letters are are on their way. If you want to be 100 pc sure you may wait, but the info in the sheet is credible.

Seniors , I have a question which might be totally out of context posted here but anyways here we go :P

How do we add a signature to our profile ?

The Add/Edit Signature feature has been diasbled as of now. Only those who had made it earlier can edit and only Puys above a certain level can create signature.

This was done coz the mods couldnt verify the huge no of signature add/edits. Read it in the PG help thread..Broke my heart:-(
