CAT 2013 Results are about to be declared.
The criteria at IIM Lucknow for the Class of 2016 largely remains the same as last year. There are minor tweaks but that will have no real impact in the overall analysis.
StraX International, Paris, founded by Prof. Jean Claude Laareché of INSEAD, has chosen Dr. R. C. Natarajan, Professor of Marketing at TAPMI, Manipal as an Advisor to their simulation exercises in Marketing Management in MBA programmes.
With CAT/XAT 2014 results just around the corner, the anticipation and impatience amongst the aspirants is sky high. And, why wouldn’t it be? After all, they are considered to be the most coveted yet capricious entrance exams of all. However, one should not forget that clearing the written exams with flying colours is just the stepping stone and the dream of getting into a prestigious B-School of the country is still a faint sight. The most important and often a nightmarish one for many, is the Group Discussion round. Although most of the sought-after IIMs of our country have done away with GDs and replaced them with the Written Ability Tests, other equally respected B-Schools still retain the conventional GD round. It is one’s performance in this round that usually singles the ‘eventually-selected’ candidates out who steal the thunder from the rest. It is this round that decides the fate of most of the candidates.
Everyone and their uncles are busy commenting and advising on the placements season that is approaching fast. At most B-schools, the atmosphere had decidedly become more serious and brimming with self-confidence. Yet beneath the veneer, lie a few murky truths and a few clear writings on the wall which no one wants to talk about.
