~A repost from the FMS admissions group. Better discussion possible on this group.~ This is a post just highlighting a few repercussions this brazen decision by the FMS management could have on the 20-22 batch, their reputation, even the admission process. This directly or indirectly impacts the brand value. One more thing, I did not have an admission at stake and am myself an engineer, so this is not intended to bash the college for not admitting me, it's just a comment on the unfair policy of admission. 1) Reputation and Batch: The batch of 2020-22 would consist primarily of engineers, maybe even as high as 95%+, and regardless of how much PagalGuy thinks engineers are wronged by every B-school, please think from the perspective of recruiters, industry stakeholders, AND the fact that a B School is supposed to be an amalgamation of students from various backgrounds, that can contribute and exchange unique ideas. Moreover, there is a reason why interviews are conducted. Acing it on the "D-Day" is not an indicator that you're set for B-School or a good fit, it's a test of aptitude; not a test of personality. Go over the past year interview scores, and you'll realise that interviews acted as a balancing point to bring bright personalities and suitable students to the institute. If still not convinced, think if all the hiring across companies occurred directly through JUST an online test. 2) Admission Process: I might be overestimating this, but there could be a major possibility that out of the initial admitted lists released, majority would have gotten an admit from ABCL (general cutoff with good acads being around 99.85, approx). The wait list could also get exhausted, correct me if I'm wrong, but it COULD happen. 3) Brand Value: The delay in decision making, illogical final decision, saturation in the batch profile, and a high concentration of academic personalities: all of these have/ will impact the image of FMS, honestly doubt if it could be for the better. To all those who made it, a hearty congratulations, FMS depends on you all to shine through, even prove that admission policies such as these turn out well practically! To all those who didn't, don't get disheartened - there might be a better outcome out there waiting for you :)
MDI MDI ajao ab
Pls help me with this ques
Is there anybody else who's literally crying with tears rolling out and also, laughing at the same time,on ur luck as well as on the memes here? Idk I feel terrible,more terrible than I felt after getting rejected from A as I atleast got a chance to prove myself..Even a 99 percentiler with 90+ in X and XII doesn't deserve a seat just coz I'm a General category Male? 99 percentile and no converts from ALKI,FMS,SP. Maar hi daalo

Hey guys So Iāve been noticing a very disturbing trend after the FMS results . Now all of a sudden certain people are saying that 95% of their batch will be engineers and that there is no diversity and that this will greatly effect the reputation of the college. So there are people here feeling bad about why FMS didnāt give points for work ex etc and you guys are here feeling bad because FMS ,unlike others colleges ,didnāt give you free marks for being a non engineer ?!!! You keep shouting just superficial Diversity , Different views , Exchange of Ideas and find that as a justification for being considered more eligible for a B school . See there are many engineers (like me ) with 99+ who had calls from FMS (but didnāt make the list ) and even we wanted an Online PI to have a chance at admission and I personally feel itās wrong on the part of the college to suddenly release results without prior notice or without any prior information on selection procedure .We also would have wanted to FMS to take into consideration Work Ex etc. In this issue they have made a blunder But donāt go around saying that the collegeās reputation will go down because they didnāt give freebies to non engineers in the name of diversity!! Thatās the most whack s**t Iāve ever heard !! Atleast be angry for the right reasons
which one
- MDI
- SPJIMR

So some think FMS 20-22 batch will struggle due to lack of diversity. Isn't it the same case with K this year? Just saying
Can someone share PDFs of Arun Sharma's DILR books? TIA!
This is not my All I Wanted To Say About CAT, well not just about CAT, it's about how CAT affected me and changed me on a molecular (JK), on a level that I don't have words to express it(Yes my vocab is that weak)
I might go into flashbacks in between please bear with me! when I write I tend to let my emotions take the wheel and whatever I am thinking is copied on that piece of paper
I was a normal guy with bad acads in college, well I had some good friends and we did a lot of mischiefs and pranks together, but the only ones that can harm us and no one else
Here comes the first flashback XD
We used to cheat in internals and it's a method you guys might've never heard of, It's popularly known as one for all and all for one method.
One guy goes in before time and as soon as he gets the paper he clicks a photo and sends it to me, The questions paper had 5 questions out of which 4 were supposed to be attempted. We saw the paper looked for the answers, sent him whatever we found, and jotted down whatever we had in our short term memory. Went in 10-15 mins late, said sorry and pasted whatever knowledge we had acquired in that time
That guy was a pro so he never got caught but we were noobs and scared, so we used this method to pass internal without even studying for a single day. Started this in 4th sem
@madscorer You remember the days, don't you?
My story of going through with CAT is a little weird and maybe even bullshit, as I never had any plans to do an MBA in the first place. I was preparing for GATE in my final year as most of us engineers are I didn't put much effort into it, I had a casual attitude and a ton of overconfidence, which with time made me understand where I lacked the most. I was aiming for the PSUs first but the mock scores(40ish) in September told me that it was not going to happen, I thought I will do M.tech in the IITs and that's when I heard about NITIE, it was love at first sight, That first sight lasted 2 long hours though
I started preparing for GATE but also filled CAT just because some friends were filling it and my parents said "Ha bharde,bharne me kya h, MCQ aate h tukke lag Jayenge".I still laugh at it.
It was a chilly day in November but I had the 2nd slot, so I didn't have to struggle with my sleep either. I went to the center and wrote the exam. I came out and called a friend "Bhai I felt that the English(yes not VARC) was easy"
"It just looks easy, result aane pe pata chalega"
"Dekhte h " and I forgot even If I took the CAT or not
That was the first year when the keys were released and I didn't even check that, because who cares?. I didn't prepare for it and the result didn't matter to me.
I had my engineering services exam on the first Sunday of January and the result was also released.
I thought that I'd get back home and then see what was the result. I was on my way back home when my college WA group exploded, the results were out and some of my friends had scored great.
Ashish got 98.48 and was really happy with the result, we get to know how things change in the next couple of months and it wasn't enough
A friend got 99.89 and made it to FMS, he's a legend XD
I entered my roll number and my DOB, for the first time my hands trembled after I saw the result
CAT17
VARC-98.99%ile
DILR-84.99
QA-85.76
OA-94.64
I was so happy after the results, but the happiness didnāt last and the only calls I got were IMT and IMI. That too because I paid for their forms, I was rejected from both of them
Why?
0 prep and 200 confidence!
GATE results also came in March and as I knew it, I didnāt make it, a 6000 rank in Mechanical wonāt get me anywhere!
Life goes on and I forgot about everything, started working, and just left things as they were. I planned another CAT attempt around mid-august. Took TIME test series and gave my first mock
I got a humongous ā58ā, still how overconfident I was, I didnāt let it affect me( Read, make me work harder)
So for the next 3 months I scored anywhere from 70 to 120, around 70%ile to a max of 97ish in one mock, which was the only thing needed for my confidence to shoot up the roof. I never did much analysis, only solved some QA and maybe some DILR, VARC was all on instinct and all luck.
Saw single-digit scores in all the sections, not together but yeah, single-digit scores!
I gave NMAT and got 210 with LS cutoff below the cutoff, but I was hopeful because one guy who got in FMS with a 99.89 in CAT was from my class and he got 209 in NMAT, I got a 210!
The D-day
I had the 2nd slot and I overheard
Ab to sach bol deā¦.
Okay, I googled, I asked my friends and I came to know that QA was hard
Why donāt I just walk back home, right?
The only thing I was confident about was QA.
I got stressed and I lost my composure, my confidence, and my chances
I didn't tell anyone that I had destroyed my dreams, with my own hands!, how could I?
Well the bad time wasn't supposed to end this early
The answer keys came and I didn't check them
Or I checked them at the worst possible time
I was getting ready for IIFT and I had some time to spare, I uploaded my response sheet on cracku and I got a 112!
I almost cried!
I made them disappear before they fell
No one should see them for the story they tell
And so I destroyed IIFT, oops sorry, my chances at IIFT
Met Ashish on my way backĀ
He told he was getting around 170
I lied to him and said I didn't count but was expecting around 145-150
"Arrey Sahi h,99 ban jayegi"
"I hope"
Result?
VARC-88%ile(well done)
DILR-87.65
QA-94.28
OA-93.12
IIFT-67%ile
SNAP-96.7(No calls)
XAT-97.7(XL BM and HR)
I did everything I could to Convert XL BM/HR but in the end, I couldn't
BM-long WL then Reject
HR-Straight Reject
Converts-IMT and IIT Kanpur
I went to IITK on 31st March for my PI, that was the day I decided if I don't get XL, CAT19 it will be
I realized what I had missed in my 4 years of engineering and I didn't want to settle for anything below my potential!
I started preparing for CAT 19 In Mid April and Saw tons of ups and downs in the mocks till August, took a 20 days break there and came back after practicing Everything I lacked
Result?
SIM8-2 digit Rank(For the first time)
SIM9-AIR 15
This is where my confidence returned and this time I used it to my advantage
I gave NMAT in the first window and Got 231,2 weeks before CAT, a tremendous morale booster
Well SIM14 did bring me down with a 56%ile DILR but it didn't last long
Pre CAT was just cherry on top
My first 170!
I was ready to kill Everything CAT threw at me
SIM15-96%ile, well now I was immune to such things, I had the confidence that I always wanted to have
The shackles of mediocrity were about to be broken
The bird that slept was ready to awaken
It looked at the sky and made its flight
It sparkled as it reflected the sun's first light
Again 2nd slotĀ
The center was as bad as it could get, computers were covered with some polyethylene sheets, I asked to remove them
They denied
I said I will just tear them, there's nothing in my admit card that stops me from doing so, the sheet is obstructing my view
"Okay, then remove it"
THANKS
Like 40+ people at my center also removed it XD
Leadership skills-It's over 9000!
Well it went good, I was feeling great after the exam
The scores were out on 29th of Nov and this time I did count them XD
IIFT was never my cup of tea, spoiled it again
Results?
VARC-92.52
DILR-99.7
QA-99.53
OA-99.60%ile
XAT-98.7(no calls, DM)
SNAP-99.86
IIFT- really?(90s me tha,I don't even remember)(btw GK score 1 XD)
Well the hard work did pay off and I made half of the journey, the other half was difficult and unprecedented
Why I wrote this?
Because I wanted toĀ
Why I wanted to?
Even I don't know
I met a ton of people during my journey
I will meet more aheadĀ
I just have to wait and see
Which Path I have to dread
The roads don't lie
They have seen many goodbyes
The travelers come for something they want
Most of them end up getting something they like
But those who do follow the roadĀ
Find that one truth, that was never told
You can go anywhere from heaven to hell
The one who decides that is you, yourself
Like a coin has two sidesĀ
Some things will go wrong and some right
You just need to follow the path you chose
Walk up to your destination up close
Look at it, something you'll never forget
It was all worth it, I have no regrets
Every time a GEM will fall, these words will be resound as a symbol of hope... @IIM_Groot Respect šš
