This is a serious issue. Let's not allow IIMB to set precedence that IIMs can reduce general seats to allot more EWS seats. https://twitter.com/DrGCprince/status/1266384591423598592?s=20 Please retweet with #IIMBgenseats

PG people, is baar AIMCATS nahi attempt karne dega kya TIME non classroom waalo ko?
If fighting will not result in victory, then you must not fight. Anger is a wonderfully energetic emotion that can be used very productively if channelled in the right direction. Battles are won (or) lost before they are ever fought, battles needn't be fought on battlefields. War is all about deception, direct force is a poor solution. Men spin circumstances and the fabric of time wraps them up. Great achievements are those to which tremendous thought and preparation is given. Everything is always all right in the end, If it isn't all right, then it isn't the end.
Don't mean to be disrespectful to those still awaiting their results, but when exactly does PG go into CAT 2020 mode(posting doubts, mock scores etc) ? There seems to be a group but it doesn't look very active...
Noob question :- Why isn't line breaks working in PG messages.How do I insert line breaks in PG messages
Hi Guys!
Hope everyone is doing well in these unprecedented times!
And congratulations on converting colleges for your MBA Journey!
Two years back, I was also a part of this community and was in a dilemma of finalising the B-School.
Because of this lockdown, I have decided to guide few of you fantastic people in taking the right decision!
If any of you have any questions regarding anything related to B-Schools, MBA life, you all can DM me! I will try to answer as much as I can as per my capability and capacity to express views.
I might reply you a bit late due to my committment with respect to other engagements but surely I will respond!
See you in the DM!
I don't understand why people don't understand that iims are playing with the life of so many deserving engineers. I have seen a lot of posts claiming it is all okay. A gem guy with 3 yes of experience and decent acads cannot get a call from old iims with 99.5 just because he is a gem... And a non engineer girl can get calls as well as converts with almost 15-20k below him. And this is just for general category. I cannot even imagine at what percentile obc SC st are getting in. This is the big failure on our system. And people declaring on linkedin as they have achieved something... Disgusting
Hey guys. I read on a couple of forums that people give CFA L1 in their 1st or 2nd year of graduation itself. If anyone has any idea regarding it , please share. I want it for a friend. TIA
Here is the story of a short journey of mine, From all the Anil Ji mems on IIFT, to fms and more. It has been a wild ride. All the PGites keep slaying it.
Warm regards,
A fellow dreamer.
Here is a glimpse of A 3 year long journey that I just finished. It is a long post by someone with not so great percentile but if it motivates even a single person, I would consider my journey and my post to have served the purpose.
RC Practice - 31st May 2020
Since the 1970s, economic and occupational insecurity has become a major problem for American workers, their families, and their communities. While outsourcing, the busting and decline of unionization and welfare supports, and the rise of immigration, the prison-industrial complex, and unemployment have brought increased competition and considerable economic insecurity to working-class employees in the "traditional" blue-collar fields, there is an increasing demand for service personnel, including clerical and retail occupations. Sociologist Gosta Esping-Anderson describes these supervised service occupations as "junk jobs," as they fail to pay living wages in the face of asset and price inflation, fail to pay benefits, are often insecure, unstable, or temporary, and provide little work control and little opportunity for skill development or advancement
Since the early 1970’s, historians have begun to devote serious attention to the working class in the United States. Yet while we now have studies of working-class communities and culture, we know remarkably little of worklessness. When historians have paid any attention at all to unemployment, they have focused on the Great Depression of the 1930’s. The narrowness of this perspective ignores the pervasive recessions and joblessness of the previous decades, as Alexander Robin shows in his recent book. Examining the period 1870-1920, Robin concentrates on Massachusetts, where the historical materials are particularly rich, and the findings applicable to other industrial areas.
The unemployment rates that Robin calculates appear to be relatively modest, at least by Great Depression standards: during the worst years, in the 1870’s and 1890’s, unemployment was around 15 percent. Yet Robin rightly understands that a better way to measure the impact of unemployment is to calculate unemployment frequencies—measuring the percentage of workers who experience any unemployment in the course of a year. Given this perspective, joblessness looms much larger.
Robin also scrutinizes unemployment patterns according to skill level, ethnicity, race, age, class, and gender. He finds that rates of joblessness differed primarily according to class: those in middle-class and white-collar occupations were far less likely to be unemployed. Yet the impact of unemployment on a specific class was not always the same. Even when dependent on the same trade, adjoining communities could have dramatically different unemployment rates. Robin uses these differential rates to help explain a phenomenon that has puzzled historians—the startlingly high rate of geographical mobility in the nineteenth-century United States. But mobility was not the dominant working-class strategy for coping with unemployment, nor was assistance from private charities or state agencies. Self-help and the help of kin got most workers through jobless spells.
While Robin might have spent more time developing the implications of his findings on joblessness for contemporary public policy, his study, in its thorough research and creative use of quantitative and qualitative evidence, is a model of historical analysis.
1. The passage is primarily concerned with
(A) recommending a new course of investigation
(B) estimating unemployment rates in the latter half of 19th century United States
(C) summarizing and assessing a study
(D) comparing and contrasting two methods for calculating data
2. The passage suggests that before the early 1970’s, which of the following was true of the study by historians of the working class in the United States?
(A) The study was infrequent or superficial, or both.
(B) The study was repeatedly criticized for its allegedly narrow focus.
(C) The study focused more on the working-class community than on working-class culture.
(D) The study ignored working-class joblessness during the Great Depression.
3. According to the passage, which of the following is true of Robin’s findings concerning unemployment in Massachusetts?
(A) They tend to contradict earlier findings about such unemployment.
(B) They are possible because Massachusetts has the most easily accessible historical records.
(C) They are the first to mention the existence of high rates of geographical mobility in the nineteenth century.
(D) They are relevant to a historical understanding of the nature of unemployment in other states.
4. Which of the following statements about the unemployment rate during the Great Depression can be inferred from the passage?
(A) It was sometimes higher than 15 percent.
(B) It has been analyzed seriously only since the early 1970’s.
(C) It can be calculated more easily than can unemployment frequency.
(D) It has been shown by Robin to be lower than previously thought.
5. The author views Robin’s study with
(A) wary concern
(B) polite skepticism
(C) scrupulous neutrality
(D) qualified admiration
6. Which of the following, if true, would most strongly support Robin’s findings as they are described by the author?
(A) Boston, Massachusetts, and Quincy, Massachusetts, adjoining communities, had a higher rate of unemployment for working-class people in 1870 than in 1890.
(B) White-collar professionals such as attorneys had as much trouble as day laborers in maintaining a steady level of employment throughout the period 1870-1920.
(C) Working-class women living in Cambridge, Massachusetts, were more likely than working-class men living in Cambridge to be unemployed for some period of time during the year 1873.
(D) In the 1890’s, shoe-factory workers moved away in large numbers from Chelmsford, Massachusetts, where shoe factories were being replaced by other industries, to adjoining West Chelmsford, where the shoe industry flourished.
Honest opinions please. Interested in finance.

Hey there guys!
CAT 2019 was indeed an unforgettable experience for all of us, and I felt like revisiting this phase once to bring about some patterns amongst our experiences of the MBA admission process.
Please help me out for the same by filling up this form.
https://forms.gle/XALbdXGTg8CSQ5cX9
I'll be happy to share the conclusions with you all.
And please forward it to your friends who appeared for CAT 2019.
Thanks in advance! Cheers!
@varuniitrdce Sir, I am waiting for your Operations/SCM post. 😢Basically I want the following questions answered apart from your insights 1. Is it advisible to join an Ops role in a loss making company like JSPL, Tata, Amazon Retail, OLA etc though they probably have a well established Grad program. 2. What are the roles that Freshers and Experienced guys (>2 yrs) get? 3. Possible career growth chart of an old company which you found in any PPTs or from LinkedIn( Like for Marketing its either ends up to Area Sales Manager or Product Manager head and for finance its Associate/VP in a division, whats it for Ops) 4. What is the shortlisting criteria( Acad and Work Ex requirements) that you could say with confidence (because probabaly bolte toh nhi honge woh directly) 5. Finally if possible ranking the various leadership programs of the Ops/SCM profile by student demand/reputation by ur exp. Thank You in advance 💚💚
