Ready Reckoner

Don't worry about the title. It is my usual habit of putting some weird header every time. This is a personal post with no significant value for blog reader.

Finally, I closed my library account today. Exactly an year back joined the library as if everything was predestined that IIM classes will start from 15th Onward. Though I targeted to read 3000 pages on April 16 for last 2 months of membership. And as it happens by standard law, if you disclose something before the event completion there is high probability that you will never do it. Hence I failed miserably. Not sure how 'Rowdy Rathore' - do things which he says and also do things which he doesn't say.  'Brida' and 'Run Away Jury' were last 2 books apart from book 'A time to kill' I was reading while publishing the post in April. My read-list was displaying a total of 123 books/magazine at time of closer today. Satisfactory number I suppose.

Things are changing quite fast these days. And I am getting a feeling that situation is going to be same till I pass-out from the course. As I have planned to use my blog page as a notebook, will post the week-1 details soon. And definitely I am not going to check for grammar, spelling, formatting. Plus, I feel I am 'differently abled' when it comes to English/Grammar/Spelling. :P

BTW one change which has happened in Admission procedure too starting from this year. Only GMAT and CAT scores will be considered for admission. Surely, things are going to get difficult from this year onward for those who are aspiring for PGSEM course from my perspective. Though college did followed normalization mechanism across the GMAT/CAT/PGSEM test and none  of the entry mechanism were easy when considered on normalized numbers, not sure why IIM moved away from PGSEM test this year. For me it was simple calculation, as I was aiming only for PGSEM program, why I will waste Rs 1600 for CAT application & test and then Rs 500 for PGSEM application, instead pay 1600 Rs for PGSEM test directly and get the right numbers in PGSEM test to get the call for interview process after which standard route for all.  College authority must have had better thoughts then me. Hope this change will do some good to the brand and the program recognition. 

As it always happens with me, wherever I go, the place becomes happening.. ;-) Who knew Chapra before me. Now that's a major constituency, if you do not know dude! you seriously need to work on your general knowledge. Who knew VIT before I joined, and now you can see it is under top 10 engineering college. So would be the case with PGSEM. Definitely something will happen to course or college. :P Harvard, Wharton, LBS are you listening, still 'aliens' haven't heard about your college. Get me to get them. :P
