I want guidance for my career. Plz give your opinion. I have got job as administrative officer in a start up company.It mostly involves work force management.

I have always wanted to pursue my career in Human resource. Thats why I took the job and I like it.

I am planning to take CAT next year. Will the work profile affect my selection?

Should I work in a BRAND company for being selected at IIM. Some people whom I met say that for final placements at IIM  work experience and the brand is taken into consideration? Is that so?

If it is true, then what should I do? plz help. (I dont know where to post the question so i posted here)

An attempt to explain normalisation for the first time. Apparently, this year the scoring will happen on the lines of GATE. This is what CAT 2014 website says. 

NORMALIZATION OF SCORES OF CAT in 2014 CAT 2014 shall involve administering a different Form of the Test across each of the 4 different Test Sessions. In order to ensure fairness and equity in comparison of performances of the candidates across different test sessions, the scores of the candidates shall be subjected to a process of Normalization. The Normalization process to be implemented shall adjust for location and scale differences of score distributions across different forms and the scaled scores obtained by this process shall be converted into percentiles for purposes of shortlisting. For purposes of reporting, Scaled Scores for each Section (Section I: Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation, Section II: Verbal Ability and Logical Reasoning) and Total along with the Percentile shall be published. The process of Normalization is an established practice for comparing candidate scores across multiple Forms and is similar to those being adopted in other large educational selection tests conducted in India such as Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE).
