Hi Puys n Seniors,

Well this is beceoming a serious problem for some puys now......The Admit cards r not uploaded yet....nor does the status show any details.....only the message "Your documents r under processing".....We have spoken to the concerned authorities but it does not help....all they do is give us another deadline to wait.....I know their assurance shd be enough to keep our cool.....but wid the xam pressure building and especially after the IIFT ding.....we (I) are (am) getting restless......Is there anything fellow puys or seniors cud do to rescue us....??

yaa buddy !!..i'm also facing the same problem i.e not able to download my admit card......and to add to my worries,no one is picking up the phone on the no. given
what should we do ???.......only few days are left, is this same situation occurs every year ...on this yr only with XAT...because I have not faced this problem with any other exam eighter it was snap/fms or whatever

plzz someone,I'm posting my problem on this thread from 3-4 days , but no replies

Dude go through the thread . There are few people ( including me ) who r facing the same problem. As per XAT office the Admit card will get uploaded by 30th unless there is a glaring mistake in ur application process. So chill.

I have registered for XAT & XLRI via online payment. I have received my XAT bulletin but i am yet to receive XLRI prospectus.

Have people already received the XLRI prospectus?

My photo n signature is uploaded....i took the printout but the signature in the printout is very faint...i can read it being myself...but dunno if the invigilator can read it....
I tried with 2 -3 printers at various locations...but in vain...
also my photo print is too bright ( having fair complexion)...
so sould i go the exam straightaway or visit the center a day before n get a provisional admit card?

The biologist lynn margulis,famous for her work on endosymbiosis,contends that symbiosis is a major driving force behind evolution.she considers darwin's notion of evolution,driven by competition as incomplete and claims that evolution is strongly based on co-operstion,interaction, and mutual dependence among organisms.according to margulis and dorion sagan,"life did not take over the globe by combat,but by networking."

which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

(1) combat would have let life take over the globe.
(2)Darwin's notion of evolution is driven by incompetence.
(3)Lynn Margulis is an amateur in the field of endosymbiosis.
(4)Dorion sagan and margulis have worked on same field of science
(5) all of these

confused between 1 and 4..
but will go with 4..!!!:D

Hey guys.. I received prospectus for XAT but not XLRI .. Can you guys tell me how to check XLRI status..

Are there people yet to receive their prospectus..

Pls help !!

Hello puys, i think i found the reason why we are unable to print the admit card. If you press the print admit card icon on the XAT 2011 page , the page that shows is not the 2011 page but 2010 page . I have mailed the authorities of the same . hope they respond soon. besides i wud appreciate if even others reading this thread wud do the same just to put more weight on the issue.

shantanu is a team lead in a business process outsourcing firm.his responsibilities include heading a team of seven members who report to him daily and submitting a report of his team performance along with the other team leads of project manager.lately,a key member of shantanu's team has been reporting directly to the project manager since his responsibilities are critical to team's function.although this is a break in company hierarchy,the project manager seems unconcerned.

how should shantanu handle this situation?

(1)since project manager is least bothered,shantanu should let things as they are.

(2)shantanu should reprimand his team members and ask him adhere to the company hierarchy henceforth.

(3)shantanu should organize a meeting among project manager team member and himself to get things sorted out.

(4)shantanu should let thinghs continue but should ask his team member to keep him in the loop for any communication he does with project manager.

(5)shantanu should inform the project manager to take a decision on matter.
